Question 2: Figure 1 represents a segment of DNA. Radiation can damage the nucleotides in a DNA molecule.

Question 7: Which of the following would most likely occur if cattle lost the ability to maintain a colony of microorganisms in their digestive tract? A) Cattle would no longer be able to synthesize cellulose. B) Cattle would have to convert cellulose to starch before digesting it. C) Cattle would have to start producing enzyme BB without the help of the bacteria. D) Cattle would no longer be able to use cellulose as a primary source of glucose.

D

Question 8: Which of the following best describes how the structure of ice benefits the organisms that live in the water below? A) The water molecules in ice are closer together than those in liquid water, so the ice prevents the passage of air to the water, maintaining a constant gas mixture in the water. B) The water molecules in ice are closer together than those in liquid water, so the ice forms a barrier that protects the organisms in the water from the freezing air temperatures. C) The water molecules in ice are farther apart than those in liquid water, so the ice floats, maintaining the warmer, denser water at the lake bottom. D) The water molecules in ice are farther apart than those in liquid water, so the ice floats, preventing the escape of gases from the liquid water.

C

Question 10: Which statement describes how water is pulled up through the xylem to the leaves of the plant? A) As water exits the leaf, hydrogen bonding between water molecules pulls more water up from below. B) As water exits the leaf, signals are sent to the roots to pump more water up to the leaves through the xylem by adhesion. C) Evaporation from the leaf decreases the hydrogen bonds that form between the water molecules in the xylem, which helps the water molecules to be pulled up the xylem. D) Evaporation of water from the leaf increases the hydrogen bonds that form between water molecules in the air, providing the energy for transport.

A

Question 16: How might this change affect the structure and function of the protein? A) The R-groupR-group of the new amino acid, valine, has different chemical properties than the R-groupR-group of cysteine. This will cause the protein to misfold and not function properly in the cell. B) The new amino acid, valine, has replaced cysteine in the new protein. Since the number of amino acids has remained the same, there will be no change in the three-dimensional folding, or function, of the protein. C) Since this is a linear section, it does not influence protein folding. Thus, there will be no change in protein structure or function. D) Since the new amino acid is bounded on one side by an amino acid with a negatively charged R-groupR-group and by an amino acid on the other side with a positively charged R-groupR-group, the charges will balance and the protein will fold as usual.

A

Question 5: Based the information provided, which of the following statements best describes why starch and cellulose provide different functions in plants?

C) The monomers of cellulose are connected by covalent bonds, making it idea for structural support. D) The monomers of starch are connected by ionic bonds, making it ideal for energy storage for plants.

C) Starch is composed of monomers that each have a CH2OHCH2OH group, while cellulose only has a CH2OHCH2OH group on every other monomer. D) Starch and cellulose are composed of identical monomers and therefore have identical structures.

Question 6: Which of the following best describes the process that adds a monosaccharide to an existing polysaccharide?

B) Ionic bonds are formed between adjacent carbon atoms of the monosaccharide and the polysaccharide by adding water (H2O)(H2O) and a specific enzyme. C) A specific enzyme removes the hydrogen (HH) from the monosaccharide and the hydroxide (OHOH) from the polysaccharide, creating a bond between the two and creating a water (H2OH2O) molecule. D) A specific enzyme removes two hydroxides (OH)(OH), one from the monosaccharide, and one from the polysaccharide, creating a bond between the two monosaccharides and creating a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2H2O2) molecule.
