Because voltage-gated potassium channels are slow to close

If the Na+/K+ pump was inactivated, that would

Cause the resting membrane potential to rise (become less negative, depolarize)

Enzymes that break down proteins in the lysosome, get a tag (known as M6P) added to them in the ER & golgi. Then, a receptor recognizes that M6P tag in the golgi, pinches off in a transport vesicle, and directs those proteins to the lysosome. What do you predict will happen in cells that have MORE M6P receptors in the golgi?

Cells with more M6P receptors in the golgi will be more efficient at recycling engulfed material

When sodium chloride is added to water, which of the following happens?

Cl- is attracted to the hydrogen atoms in water

has six valence electrons

The Meselson and Stahl experiment demonstrated for the first time that

DNA builds new strands by separating old strands

What is a benefit of mRNA vaccines over DNA vaccines?

DNA must enter the nucleus

A new DNA strand elongates in only one direction because

DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the 3' end

Demonstrating simple dominance in its melanin transporter

Addition of a drug that binds to the plus end of microtubules and prevents addition or loss of tubulin subunits to an actively dividing cell during prophase of mitosis would disrupt which of the following processes during prophase/prometaphase?

Formation of the mitotic spindle

An experimental herbicide kills plants by blocking the ATP synthase in thylakoids. This is most likely to

Increase the pH of the chloroplast stroma

Exposure to a specific drug "X" results in a decrease in blood levels of cholesterol in low-density lipoprotein particles. What is this drug "X" most likely to be doing?

Increasing receptor mediated endocytosis

If animals were given a drug that interfered with calcium being pumped into the sarcoplasmic reticulum after muscle contraction, what would fail to happen?

Myosin would cause continuous contractions until the ATP was used up

When the electron transport chain in a mitochondrion is active, which of the following occurs?

NADH is oxidized to NAD+

Which is the least common source of genetic variation resulting from meiosis?

Nondisjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis I

Which would be most likely to force a heart cell to express a liver protein?

The citric acid cycle

Takes place in the mitochondrial matrix

Which of the following does NOT occur during mitosis?

What determines the resting membrane potential?

The leak permeability of the membrane to potassium

What would most likely happen if you transplanted a notochord onto a just-fertilized egg/zygote?

The organizer wouldn't be able to induce anything

What would happen to DNA if it was treated with an enzyme that hydrolyzes the covalent bond between nucleotides?

The phosphodiester bonds between deoxyribose sugars would be broken

Pink snapdragon flowers, the result of a cross between red and white flowers, are an example of incomplete dominance because

The red pigment is expressed at lower levels than in a red snapdragon

What would be the most likely consequence if a mutation arose in the gene for the reverse transcriptase of a retrovirus, while it was a provirus?

The virus would be produced, bud off, infect the next host cell, but then not be able to replicate its genome

Which of the following is most UNLIKELY to happen when a neurotransmitter is released?

Translocation of an intracellular receptor into the nucleus

Microtubules are shrunk by

Tubulin dimers falling off the plus end of the filament

it reduces blood cholesterol levels

The secondary immune response, in contrast to the primary immune response, utilizes

memory cells

more phospholipids

Addition of a drug that specifically blocks the function of myosin will immediately result in the disruption of

At the end of meiosis I, the daughter cells are

not identical to each other
