Q1. In your own words, explain the Law of Conservation of Matter?

Q2. Here is a chemical equation. Identify the components of the chemical equation by completing
the checklist below:

Identify the Reactants

Identify the Products

Identify what β-D-glucose has lost

What is the ‘glucose oxidase’ in this equation

Identify if this is a reversible reaction

What is the stoichiometric relationship

Q3. Biomolecule polymers, like proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates, form through a reaction
as depicted below:

Reaction 1
Reaction 2

Reaction 3

A) Identify the nucleic acid, polypeptide, and polysaccharide above

B) What is similar in each of the three reactions shown above

C) What type of chemical reaction is occurring in reactions 1, 2, and 3

D) The opposite of the reaction type identified in question C is called hydrolysis –


explain why this name, hydrolysis, is very suitable for a reverse of the reaction in
C

Q4. Balance this chemical equation.

Chemical equation:

C6H12O6 + O2  CO2 + H2O [+ energy]

Q5. Write the equation out in words below:

Q6. What is the stoichiometric ratio of the balanced equation from Q4 above?

Q7. If I had 10 moles of glucose, how much CO2 (in moles) will I produce if all the glucose was used
in the combustion reaction described above?

Q8. This combustion equation above describes cellular respiration, where the energy is ultimately
captured in an ATP molecule.

A) What does ATP stand for?

Before the energy can get to ATP though, it is transferred via electron carriers, such as NAD+.

B) When two electrons (e-) attach to NAD+ [plus a free H+ present] to form NADH,
as shown in the equation below, is the NAD+ reduced or oxidised?
NAD+ + H+ + 2e-  NADH
