The commonly accepted mechanism for explaining alkene reactions involves formation of
 
  A) carbocations.
  B) carbanions.
  C) carbon atoms with 10 electrons.
  D) carbon atoms with four electrons.
  E) carbon atoms which have lost all their electrons.

Question 2

Classify each pathway of carbohydrate metabolism as anabolic or catabolic. Justify your choice in each case.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Glycolysis is catabolic, because a large molecule is broken into smaller ones, with a net production of high-energy molecules.
Gluconeogenesis is anabolic because it is a synthesis reaction. It consumes energy as ATP and GTP.
Glycogenolysis is catabolic because it involves breaking larger molecules into smaller ones.
Glycogenesis is anabolic because it consumes energy in the form of UTP in order to build a larger molecule from smaller ones.
