There are two properties of fatty acids that affect how tightly they pack together: the length of the hydrocarbon chain and the number of double bonds. The degree of packing in turn influences the relative mobility of these molecules in the membrane. Which of the following would yield the least mobile or highest melting temperature phospholipid.

16 carbons with no double bonds

C=0 and N-H of the peptide backbone

Which interaction is most important in enhancing the solubility of macro molecules in water?

Hydrogen bonds ( H bonds)

True or False: Binding of allosteric molecules cause conformational change at an enzyme's active site resulting in either an increase or decrease in catalytic efficiency

True

True or False: Cells exist by acquiring an utilizing energy. They carry out a wide variety if chemical reactions. Engage in mechanical activities. Are able to respond to stimuli and are thus capable of self regulation. Cells can also evolve.

True

True

True or False: The presence of double bonds in the hydrocarbon tail of fatty acid causes a kink in the hydrocarbon tail which prevent tight packing of lipids and greater membrane fluidity

True

True or false: Equilibrium is defined as the state in which the forward and reverse rates of chemical reaction are equal so that no net chemical change occurs, Delta G = 0

True

For the reaction YàX at standard conditions with [Y] = 1 M and [X] = 1 M, ΔG is initially a large negative number. As the reaction proceeds, [Y] decreases and [X] increases until the system reaches equilibrium. How do the values of ΔG and ΔG° change as the reaction equilibrates?

a. ΔG becomes less negative and ΔG° stays the same.

Cells use two major source for energy to drive anabolic reactions. They are?

ATP hydrolysis and oxidation -reduction reactions

Proteins are important architectural and catalytic components within the cell helping to determine its chemistry, its shape and its ability to respond to changes in the environment. Remarkably all of the different proteins in a cell are made from the same 2 ____. By linking them in different sequences, the cell can make protein molecules with different conformations and surface chemistry and therefore different functions.

Amino acids

D. hydrophobic interaction

For the reaction Y-> at standard conditions with [Y] = 1M and [X] = 1 M and delta G is initially large negative number. As the reaction proceeds, [Y] decreases and [X] increases until the system reaches equilibrium. How do the values of delta G and and delta G change as the reaction equilibrates

Delta G becomes less negative and delta stays the sam e

E. cytosol

Polar molecules result from the unequal sharing of____ in covalent bonds

Electrons

The second law of thermodynamics states that the disorder in any system is always increasing. In simple terms you can think about dropping NaCl crystals into a glass of water. The solvation and diffusion of ions is favored because there is an increase in _______

Entropy

Catysts are molecules that lower the energy barrier for a given reaction. Cells produce their own catalysts called ____

Enzymes

DNA is synthesized by covalently linking a nucleoside triphosphate to the previous nucleotide, constantly adding a growing chain. For DNA, the new strand becomes part of a stable helix. The two strands are complementary in sequence and anti parallel in directionality. What is the principal force that holds these two strands together?

Hydrogen bonds
