Which one is responsible for the addition of amino acids after translation initiation has begun?

elongation factors

Which is more likely to form a micelle rather than a liposome if mixed in an aqueous environment?

phospholipids with a single fatty acid tail

According to the codon table, which amino acid sequence results from a synthetic "poly-A" mRNA terminating with a single C at the 3' end (i.e., 5'-|AAA|AAA| . . . |AAA|AAC|-3') when translated in the reading frame indicated by the vertical lines?

polylysine terminated by a Thr

Which particles are pumped across the lysosomal membrane by a transport protein to create a special internal environment in the lysosome?

protons

Which of the statements is true regarding glycine?

Glycine increases the flexibility of the peptide backbone.

Refer to Animation: Translation Elongation. Referring to the figure, what is the anticodon of the next tRNA to enter the A site?

3'CUU5'

Referring to the following mRNA sequence, 5′—AUGAGACUUACCGAA—3′, what would the anticodon look like if the second nucleotide of the fourth codon was mutated to U?

3′--UAG--5′

How many different mRNA sequences could encode the amino acid sequence Met-Leu-Val-His?

48

A double-stranded DNA molecule, only part of which is shown, is being transcribed. If the molecule is transcribed from left to right, one of the nucleotides shown in bold would be the first transcribed in this small molecule. 5′—ATGATCGGATCGATCCAT—3′ 3′—TACTAGCCTAGCTAGGTA—5′ Which sequence is the correct mRNA produced from the transcription of this DNA molecule?

5′-AUGAUCGGAUCGAUCCAU-3′

A proton pump is needed in the lysosomal membrane because: a. All of these choices are correct. b. the interior of the lysosome needs to be acidic. c. protons cannot move across a membrane on their own. d. protons are being moved from low to high concentration.

All of these choices are correct.

Which factors are used during translation? a. elongation factors b. All of these choices are correct. c. release factors d. initiation factors

All of these choices are correct.

Which of the environmental factors affect the interactions between amino acids that in turn determine the shape of a protein? a. pH b. ion concentration c. temperature d. All of these choices are correct. e. hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties of the environment f. temperature and ion concentration

All of these choices are correct.

If a mutation blocked the function of the signal recognition particle, making it unable to bind signal sequence, what would result?

All proteins would be translated on free ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

Assuming that transcription and translation both proceed from left to right, which is the correct orientation of the DNA template, the RNA transcript, and the protein product?

DNA template 3′- ......... -5′ RNA transcript 5′- ......... -3′ Protein product H2N- ......... -COOH

A researcher has devised a technique that allows her to label all the integral membrane proteins with a fluorescent tag. She uses a laser to bleach the fluorescence in a specific area of the cell membrane. After 24 hours, she notices that fluorescence has returned to the bleached area. What can she deduce from this experiment?

Integral membrane proteins are able to move laterally within the cell membrane.

Which part of a cholesterol molecule is polar?

OH group

While many proteins move freely in the plane of the membrane, there are some proteins that are confined to specific places or regions of the membrane. If a membrane protein that is confined to a specific membrane region were labeled in a FRAP experiment, what result would you predict?

The bleached spot will not recover fluorescence over time.

In response to seasonal changes in temperature, many organisms must alter the composition of their plasma membranes to maintain the proper degree of fluidity. Which change in the fatty acids of phospholipids would be most effective in maintaining membrane fluidity in a colder environment?

a decrease in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and a decrease in side chain saturation

During the translation of mRNA molecules, the new polypeptides are often directed to specific parts of the cell by the presence or absence of short sequences of amino acids called signal peptides. What would you expect to find in the polypeptide that will eventually fold to become a histone protein?

a nuclear localization signal

Where are the ribosomes that translate proteins to be secreted from the cell?

attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum

Examine the figure shown, which depicts one stage in the process of translation in a eukaryote.

a. The tRNA carrying the polypeptide will be in the P site. b.A new tRNA will bind to the ribosome. d. The tRNA that is no longer carrying the polypeptide will be ejected from the ribosome.

Some diseases result from defective transport across the membrane. For example, cystic fibrosis results when a chloride ion transporter does not function. What is affected when this transporter does not function?

both the chloride concentration gradient and the electrical gradient of the cell

The beaker in the illustration contains two solutions of salt with different concentrations (measured by molarity, M). The two solutions are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water but not to salt.

diffusion of water from A to B but no diffusion of salt

All 64 possible codons have corresponding anticodons in tRNAs.

false

All β sheets are comprised of protein strands running antiparallel to each other.

false

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are integral parts of the endomembrane system and are specifically connected to the endoplasmic reticulum.

false

Most proteins retain metabolic activity when denatured.

false

Purified phospholipids mixed in water will only form membranes if the appropriate enzyme is present.

false

Enzymes present in the lumen of the Golgi apparatus are responsible for modifying proteins and lipids. Where must these proteins have been before they entered the Golgi apparatus?

in the rough endoplasmic reticulum

Individuals with a condition known as exercise intolerance lack sufficient ATP and suffer extreme fatigue from minimal exertion. Defects in which structures are most likely responsible for this condition?

mitochondria

Where are lysosomal enzymes synthesized?

on the rough endoplasmic reticulum

In which of the ribosomal sites does the anticodon of a tRNA pair completely with the mRNA codon?

the A site and the P site

Disorders of which organelle are often associated with defects in transport from compartment to compartment, resulting in poor sorting of protein components within the cell?
