During cellular respiration, energy is released from sugars. How is this energy used to support the formation of complex carbon-based molecules?
A. The energy released during respiration can drive chemical reactions that form amino acids and other complex molecules.
B. Respiration energy is only used for physical movement in the cell.

Students placed a container of water in the freezer, noticing that the frozen water expanded and cracked the container. What does this result suggest about water's effect on rock surfaces?
Water expands when it freezes which can break rocks into smaller pieces

Decomposition- one reactant being split into two products.
Sugar molecules (C₆H₁₂O₆) are used in cells to create amino acids and other complex molecules. Which of the following best describes how atoms in sugar molecules contribute to the formation of amino acids?
A. Sugar molecules only provide energy, not atoms, for the formation of amino acids.
B. The carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in sugar molecules can combine with elements such as nitrogen to form amino acids and other large molecules.

On the inside
What happens when an enzyme is denatured and what bonds does it affect?
It loses its ability to bind correctly with the substrate because the tertiary and secondary structure of the enzyme degrades as the hydrogen bonds are broken.
