Indicate Whether the Following Statements Are True or False

Question 57

Matching

Indicate whether the following statements are true or false.If a statement is false, explain why it is false.

Premises:
The diffusion rates for smaller molecules in the cytosol are much lower than what is observed for the same molecules in water.
The cytosol is densely packed with molecules, creating what is more an aqueous gel than a solution.
When two macromolecules form a complex, the free energy of the system increases because there is a net increase of order within the cell.
Sequential pathways can help drive unfavorable reactions by siphoning off the products into the next energetically favorable reaction in the series.
Responses:
True
False
