| When chemical, transport, or mechanical work is done by an organism, what happens to the heat generated? | It is lost to the environment |
| The mechanism in which the end product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an earlier step in the pathway is most precisely described as: | feedback inhibition. |
| A competitive inhibitor of an enzyme will bind to: | the active site of the enzyme |
| Some bacteria are metabolically active in hot springs because: | their enzymes have high optimal temperatures. |
