: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 119) Consider the two chemical reactions. Identify each statement following as true or false, and clarify as needed. A + B → C C → A + B A. The enzyme catalyzing the formation of C must be different from that catalyzing the breakdown of C. B. The enzyme catalyzing the formation of C must be the same as that catalyzing the breakdown of C. C. Only one of the reactions could occur in a given cell or system. D. Both reactions must be occurring in an equilibrium situation. E. Equilibrium is always achieved in a chemical reaction. F. Equilibrium can be prevented from occurring by constantly removing the product of either reaction. G. An equilibrium, once established, cannot be disturbed.

: A. False. There may be more than one enzyme for the reactions listed, but a given enzyme is often capable of performing a reaction in both directions. B. False. The enzyme for both reactions could be the same, but often a particular enzyme is more likely to perform the forward reaction while a different enzyme is more likely to perform the reverse. C. False. If the reactions are at equilibrium, both are occurring at the same time. If they are not at equilibrium, it is possible that the reaction is occurring only in one direction. In addition, cells can have different enzymes for each reaction direction that can be differentially controlled (i.e., one active and the other inactive). D. True. By definition, a reaction is at equilibrium when both directions are occurring such that there is no net change in amounts of substrates and products. E. False. Equilibrium is not necessarily established, especially in a cell where a product is immediately removed from the system for use elsewhere, such as the product ATP, or if a given enzyme does not perform the reverse reaction. F. True. Any change in amounts of enzyme, substrate, or product will disturb equilibrium, and if these things constantly change, equilibrium cannot be established. G. False. Equilibrium can be disturbed by changing the amount of enzyme, substrate, or product, or by altering the enzyme's efficacy by changing temperature or pH. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

In this peptide, proline was specified by two different codons, CCG and CCU. 1 base lost: arg met phe gly leu val asn gly ala leu 1 base altered: thr asp val arg pro cys gln trp arg ile ala Loss of a base results in dramatic changes in the protein structure (1 less amino acid and a start codon at the second codon) which means the proteins is unlikely to be functional. However, a single base substitution would have a single amino acid different which make the proteins more likely to be functional although the function may still be altered.

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 118) Explain how these statements differ, and identify which one(s) is/are correct. Explain what is wrong with each incorrect statement. Explain when chemical reactions continue and when they stop. A. A chemical reaction proceeds until the enzyme molecules are all consumed. B. A chemical reaction proceeds until the substrate molecules are all consumed. C. A chemical reaction proceeds until equilibrium is established. D. A chemical reaction proceeds until all the product molecules are removed.

: B and C are correct as written, but B requires some clarification. A is incorrect because enzyme molecules are not consumed in chemical reactions and will continue to be active until acted upon by environmental conditions (temperature, pH, or modifiers). B is correct only when the product is removed from the system. If the product remains, the enzyme will reach equilibrium where the ratio of substrate to product is constant (Correct Answer C). In D, if the product of the reaction is removed, the reaction would continue to proceed to form new product (assuming enzymes and substrates are available). Chemical reactions continue if conditions are favorable, including presence of substrate and enzyme and fairly constant temperature and pH. In living systems, most chemical reactions do not have a steady supply of substrate; for example, the chemical reactions of digestion will stop when the small intestine is empty. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 137) Explain how it is possible for an enzyme to catalyze a chemical reaction in two different directions.

: Both the substrate and product have a 3-D shape complementary to the active site of the enzyme. In a synthesis reaction between two organic monomers, the enzyme holds the substrates in a position that greatly increases the likelihood of bond formation between them, and as the bond forms to produce a dimer, the affinity of the enzyme for the substrates increases. The dimer is also complementary to the active site of the enzyme, and if a dimer molecule happens to bind to the enzyme, becoming the substrate, the bond between the monomers becomes strained as the intermediate is formed and can break. If this happens, the reaction is a degradation and the products are the monomers. The tightest binding is between the enzyme and the intermediate form, different in structure compared to either the substrates or the product. Thus it is equally likely that the reaction will be a synthesis or a degradation, if no other factors are considered. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Decreasing the amount of enzyme at the second step would slow down the whole series of reactions because less product would be available as substrate for the next two steps. The net result would be a decrease in the rate of production of the product and therefore, within a specified time, a decrease in the amount of the product.

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 124) Explain how the analogy of a ball and a hill is useful for describing the forms of energy to beginning physiology students. Use the synthesis of glucose by plants and the break down of glucose by humans as specific examples of the energy hill.

: Energy is required for a person to move a ball from a lower height to a higher one, and that the ball will automatically roll down the hill if allowed to, without further input of energy. The substrates CO2 and H2O require energy to be combined into C6H12O6; the energy of the sun provides this energy to "roll" the substrates up the energy hill as they combine. The glucose then contains the potential energy provided by the sun. When enzymes are present, the molecule easily breaks down to CO2 and H2O releasing energy that is used by the cell to perform work.

: G6P is an example of an allosteric modulator of GS. GS is required for the synthesis of glycogen. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.3

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 146) Bovine insulin is composed of 30 amino acids. What is the minimum number of DNA triplets in the insulin gene, based on the amino acid length? What is the minimum number of DNA bases in the coding region? Explain how and why the actual number of triplets in the gene may differ.

: Ignoring stop and start codons, RNA splicing, and post-translational modification, a peptide of 30 amino acids is specified by 30 triplets. As a triplet is 3 bases in length, this means a minimum of 90 DNA bases (30 triplets × 3 bases per triplet) is present in the insulin gene. The actual number of triplets and bases is higher, because the gene starts and ends with start and stop sequences, some of the mRNA codons are excised prior to translation and peptide sequence, and furthermore post-translational modification of the peptide may remove additional amino acids. Thus the number of amino acids in the peptide is related to gene length but doesn't allow precise calculation of gene length. Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.6

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 123) Carbonic acid is generated by bubbling CO2 into a beaker of water. If it took 5 minutes for this reaction to reach equilibrium, how would the results differ if the enzyme carbonic anhydrase was added to the beaker of water? Explain using the concept of the energy hill.

: In the presence of the enzyme, the reaction will occur much more rapidly thereby forming more carbonic acid. The enzyme lowers the activation energy for the reaction causing more product to be generated (i.e., carbonic acid). When the enzyme is present, the hill the ball must roll up before it can continue down the hill is lower than in the absence of the enzyme. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 136) Some diseases, such as phenylketonuria, classical hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and muscular dystrophy are a result of enzyme malfunction. Each of these diseases is inherited. Explain how there might be a relationship among these observations.

: Inheritance is determined by the message coded into DNA; a mutation relays a faulty message, which disrupts protein synthesis, resulting in either a faulty protein or complete absence of the protein. Enzymes are proteins. When the instructions for the synthesis of their structure are changed, they may not be able to perform their function, producing a disease condition. If the disease is not fatal prior to puberty and does not render its victim unable to reproduce, the faulty DNA will be copied during gametogenesis and will appear in a predictable percentage of offspring. Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 120) Explain how enzymes can be useful in the diagnosis of disease, giving specific examples. Is the change in enzyme concentration a direct or indirect result of the disease?

: Many enzymes are normally present in the blood in a particular range of concentrations. Alterations in these concentrations can be associated with abnormal conditions. For example, elevation in the digestive enzyme amylase, produced by the pancreas, may indicate pancreatic disease. Elevation of enzymes that normally operate inside cells can indicate tissue damage, such as the elevation of creatine kinase following myocardial infarction. Low amounts of hexosamidase A can indicate Tay-Sachs disease. In the examples given, the amylase and hexosamidase enzyme changes are direct results of the disease, whereas enzymes elevated because of tissue damage are the result of cellular damage and not a direct change in the enzyme itself.

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 121) Based on the facts about chemical equilibria in animal systems, indicate for each summary reaction below if it is reversible or irreversible (don't worry about balancing the reactions). Explain the lack of reversibility. In what kind of system would the reaction(s) you selected as irreversible be reversible? Explain. A. C6H12O6 → CO2 + H2O B. ADP + Pi → ATP C. H2O + CO2 → H2CO3

: Only A is irreversible in animal systems. The products are rapidly removed from the system as soon as they are formed, so they are not recombined. This reaction is reversible in plants, which form and store glucose for food, but also need to use some of the glucose to make ATP. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 117) Explain how these statements differ, and identify which one(s) is/are correct. Explain what is wrong with each incorrect statement. A. A chemical reaction is at equilibrium when there is no further change in substrates. B. A chemical reaction is at equilibrium when the amounts of substrates and product no longer change. C. A chemical reaction stops when it reaches equilibrium. D. A chemical reaction is at equilibrium when the amount of substrate equals the amount of product.

: Only B is correct as written. A could be corrected by clarifying that it is concentration or amount of substrate that ceases to change; individual molecules can form or break at any given time, but the overall amount will not change because synthesis will be balanced by degradation. C is incorrect because the reactions continue as long as conditions such as presence of catalysts, favorable temperature, and presence of substrates are maintained. As a given enzyme can both synthesize and degrade, both processes will continue even at equilibrium. D is incorrect because at equilibrium there is no net change in amounts, but it is not necessary for concentrations of substrates and products to be the same as each other.

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 116) Briefly describe oxidation-reduction reactions. What does it mean for a molecule to be reduced or oxidized? Identify and explain the mnemonic device provided in the text for oxidation and reduction reactions. See if you can make one up yourself.

: Oxidation-reduction reactions occur when electrons are transferred from one molecule to another. The molecule that is oxidized in the reaction loses electrons while the reduced molecule gains electrons. OIL RIG (oxidation is loss, reduction is gain) is the mnemonic provided in the textbook. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.3

: Level I: Reviewing Facts and Terms (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 93) Describe the four types of enzymatic reactions.

: Oxidation-reduction reactions transfer electrons or protons between substrates. Hydrolysis-dehydration reactions form or break a chemical bond between organic substrates by removing or adding a water molecule. Transfer reactions (Addition-subtraction-exchange reactions) add, remove, or exchange a functional group (phosphate or amino groups) among the substrates. Ligation reactions join molecules using the energy from an ATP molecule. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.3

: Level I: Reviewing Facts and Terms (Bloom's Taxonomy: Knowledge) 90) Compare and contrast potential energy with kinetic energy.

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 131) Once the promoter region of a gene is activated, ________ unwinds the DNA of the downstream gene and begins the process of ________. What is the molecule generated by this process? How does the cell control the amount of this molecule released from the nucleus?

: RNA polymerase, transcription The RNA polymerase transcribes a single stranded mRNA. The cell can decrease mRNA by controlling the activity of the promoter with transcription factors if the gene is not constitutively expressed. Decreases in an inducer or increases in a repressor would reduce the amount of mRNA available for release. In addition, the amount of mRNA released is also affected by the availability of interfering RNA (siRNA or miRNA). Increases in interfering RNA that can inactivate or destroy mRNA would reduce the amount of mRNA released from the nucleus. Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.6

: Level I: Reviewing Facts and Terms (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 68) ________ describes how much product is generated or substrate destroyed within a period of time.

: Reaction rate Section Title: Chemical Reactions Learning Outcome: 4.1

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 133) How is the single-stranded mRNA that leaves the nucleus translated into proteins?

: Ribosomes have two subunits (large and small) that are composed of proteins and rRNA. The small subunits binds to the mRNA followed by the large subunit which sandwiches the mRNA. The tRNA (contains the anticodon and associated amino acid) binds to the complementary mRNA. A second tRNA arrives for the next codon and, via dehydration synthesis, a peptide bond is formed between amino acids, which releases the first tRNA from the mRNA and allows the next tRNA to bind. This process continues until the stop codon is reached. Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.6

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Evaluation) 140) Create a map that integrates the following terms: alternative splicing, constitutive, interference, mRNA, post-translation modification, regulated, repression, induction, translation, and tRNA. Add terms as needed.

Label on the graph "activation energy" and "net free energy change." How would these reactions be altered by the presence of an enzyme for this reaction?

: See Figure 4.3 in the chapter. The activation energy would be reduced which would increase the rate of these reactions. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Level I: Reviewing Facts and Terms (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 70) Glucose is phosphorylated to ________ with a phosphate from ________.

: glucose-6-phosphate, ATP Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.4

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 135) Define substrate and product. Are these definitions relative or absolute, and why?

: Substrates are chemicals that bind to the enzyme and are altered (bonds formed and/or broken), producing a product. A product is the result of enzyme action on substrates. These terms are relative because chemical reactions are reversible. Example: if two monomers bind to the enzyme and form a dimer, the monomers are the substrates and the dimer is the product. If instead the dimer binds to the enzyme and splits to form two monomers, the monomers are the products and the dimer is the substrate. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 132) Once the mRNA for a particular gene has been transcribed, how is the mRNA that will be released from the nucleus processed?

: The mRNA that is initially transcribed contains regions that are not part of the protein that will be translated. These noncoding regions of mRNA (introns) are removed from the mRNA by splicing. The mRNA then only contains the coding sequences (exons) that can be released from the nucleus to be translated by the ribosome. Due to alternative splicing, the structure of the protein can be different which leads to isoforms of a protein. Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.6

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 145) Carbon dioxide and water readily combine to form carbonic acid. The change in pH as the acid dissociates can be demonstrated with an indicator dye that changes color at a particular pH. Following this lab in which the color of the solution was observed to change, one lab group forgot to dump the beakers at the end of the lab period. The next day would you expect the beakers to look the same as they did after being bubbled with CO2? If not, explain in terms of reversible reactions and equilibrium disturbance.

: The next day, the solutions had changed back to their original color (before being bubbled with CO2). The carbon dioxide dissipated over night, driving the reaction back in the reverse direction, because the amount of substrate changed. This caused the pH to increase again, above the level required to maintain the color change. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.1

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 126) After coming off a ribosome, several things can happen to the newly synthesized protein. Name three.

: The possible answers include the post-translational modifications: 1. folded into three-dimensional shapes 2. cross-linkages (disulfide bonds) between different regions of its amino acid chain 3. be cleaved into fragments 4. attach other molecules or groups (e.g., methylation) 5. assemble with other peptides (subunits) into polymeric proteins Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.6

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 147) Analysis of a single DNA strand yielded this information on amounts of some nucleotides: 43 units of cytosine and 51 units of adenine. What amounts would you expect of guanine and thymine in that strand? What amounts would you expect of all bases in the complementary strand?

: There is no way to determine the amounts of guanine and thymine in the analyzed strand based on the amounts of cytosine and adenine; the guanine and thymine would have to be determined directly. In the other strand, the amount of guanine equals the amount of cytosine in the analyzed strand, and the amount of thymine equals the amount of adenine in the analyzed strand, because of the way the bases pair to hold the strands together. Once the amounts of guanine and thymine in the first strand are determined, the amounts of cytosine and adenine can be determined in the complementary strand. Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.6

: Level I: Reviewing Facts and Terms (Bloom's Taxonomy: Knowledge) 91) Define the law of mass action.

: When a reaction is at equilibrium, the ratio of the substrates to the products is always the same because reaction rate is constant. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 144) Carbon dioxide and water readily combine to form carbonic acid. The change in pH as the acid dissociates can be demonstrated with an indicator dye that changes color at a particular pH. In your physiology lab, you perform this experiment in two beakers containing room-temperature water and indicator, labeled Resting and Exercise based upon the status of the student who exhaled through a straw into the solution. The Resting student had been sitting at the table for 30 minutes before exhaling while the Exercise student had just finished sprinting up the stairs to class late. A stopwatch was used to measure how long it took for the solutions to change color. The following data were generated by the students. Explain why the time required for the color to change was different between groups, using the word substrate in your answer. Student Time for reaction (seconds): Resting Time for reaction (seconds): Exercising 1 123 20 2 114 23 3 136 17

: With each breath, CO2 is present in the exhaled air. The students who exercised exhibited an elevated rate of CO2 generation by the metabolic cycle. Thus, the substrate concentration was higher for the Exercising student than the Resting student, which is why the time for the solution to change color was less.
