Apoptosis involves the regulated activation of proteins in specific cells of a developing forelimb that leads to the death of the cells

Which of the following represents the activation energy needed for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the above figure?

B

Which of the following questions will best direct an investigation of the mechanism of ATP synthase?

The figures below illustrate the similarities between ATP synthesis in mitochondria and chloroplasts. These figures can best assist in answering which of the following questions?

Do electron transport chains create a gradient so that ATP synthesis can generate ATP molecules?

Which of the following questions can best be answered by the diagram

Does the addition of an enzyme reduce the activation energy required for a reaction?

The chemical reaction for photosynthesis is shown below. If the input of water is labeled with a radioactive isotope of oxygen, then the oxygen gas released as the reaction proceeds is also labeled with the same isotope. Which of the following is the most likely explanation?

During the light reactions of photosynthesis, water is split, removing electrons and protons, and oxygen gas is released

Given the formula for free energy, which of these statements is correct?

Increasing temperature or entropy will decrease free energy

which of the following chemical equations describes a dehydration synthesis reaction?

Monosaccharide + monosaccharide = disaccharide + H2O

You have two beakers. One contains pure water, the other contains pure methanol (wood alcohol). The covalent bonds of methanol molecules are nonpolar, so there are no hydrogen bonds among methanol molecules. You pour crystals of table salt (NaCl) into each beaker. Predict what will happen

NaCl will dissolve readily in water but will not dissolve in methanol

Which of the following correctly describes the pathway taken by a protein destined for secretion from an animal cell?

Rough ER --> transport vesicle --> Golgi --> transport vesicle --> plasma membrane

Which of the following types of signaling is represented in the above figure?

Synaptic

A chemical is added to an enzyme, resulting in the enzyme changing shape and no longer working. Which of these statements is true?

The chemical is an allosteric, non-competitive inhibitor

Protein Kinase can be inhibited my multiple inhibitors. Some are competitive inhibitors, but others are not. Which of the findings below would suggest competitive inhibition?

The inhibitor binds to the active site and decreases overall enzyme activity.

The figure below shows an organelle typically found in eukaryotic cells. Which of the following best describes the function of the double membrane system of this organelle? (picture of mitochondria)

The inner membrane has specialized proteins that create a hydrogen ion concentration gradient between the intermembrane space and the matrix

If the enzyme in the graph shown above was exposed to an extreme high temperature, we would expect to see:

The rate of reaction decrease because the enzyme may denature, changing the shape of the active site

Researchers are studying the reaction rate of an enzyme. The graph above shows the expected rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction as the initial substrate concentration is increased. What would happen if the substrate concentration was doubled from 0.6 to 0.8?

The reaction rate would not be affected

Which of the following is true about secondary consumers in an ecosystem?

They are fewer in numbers than the primary consumers

For this to be a sustainable ecosystem, which organism must have the greatest biomass?

grass

The solutions in the arms of a U-tube are separated at the bottom of the tube by a selectively permeable membrane. The membrane is permeable to sodium chloride but not to glucose. Side A is filled with a solution of 0.4 M glucose and 0.5 NaCl. Side B is filled with a solution containing 0.8 glucose and 0.4 NaCl. If you examine side A in the figure after 3 days, you should find

a decrease in the concentration of NaCl and a decrease in the water level
