Question 1 of 15

1

Shown here are the structures of fructose and glucose. These two molecules are

Select one of the following:

geometric isotopes
enantiomers
geometric isomers
structural isomers
nonisotopic isomers

Explanation

Question 2 of 15

1

Which of the following statements correctly describes geometric isomers?

Select one of the following:

They have variations in arrangement around a double bond
They have an asymmetric carbon that makes them mirror images
They have the same chemical properties
They have different molecular formulas
Their atoms and bonds are arranged in different sequences

Explanation

Question 3 of 15

1

Research indicates the Ibuprofen, a drug used to relieve inflammation and pain, is a mixture of two enantiomers; that is, molecules that

Select one of the following:

have identical three-dimensional shapes
are mirror images of one another
lack an asymmetric carbon
differ in the location of their double bonds
differ in electrical charge

Explanation

Question 4 of 15

1

Research indicates that Albuterol, a drug used to relax bronchial muscles, improving airflow and thus offering relief from asthma, consists only of one enantiomer, the R- form. Why is it important for this drug to consist of only one enantiomer form, rather than a mixture of enantiomers?

Select one of the following:

Different enantiomers may have different or opposite physiological effects
It is impossible to synthesize mixtures of enantiomers
It is much less expensive to synthesize one enantiomer at a time
Albuterol is an example of a compound for which only one enantiomer exists
Only the R-form of Albuterol has been studied; until more information is available, physicians prefer to use the pure R- form.

Explanation

Question 5 of 15

1

Which of the following is TRUE of both starch and cellulose?

Select one of the following:

They are both polymers of glucose
They are geometric isomers of each other.
They can both be digested by humans
They are both used for energy storage in plants
They are both structural components of the cell wall

Explanation

Question 6 of 15

1

Which of the following is true of cellulose?

Select one of the following:

It is a polymer composed of sucrose monomers
It is a storage polysaccharide for energy in plant cells
It is a storage polysaccharide for energy in animal cells
It is a major structural component of plant cell walls
It is a major structural component of animal cell plasma membranes.

Explanation

Question 7 of 15

1

Humans can digest starch but not cellulose because

Select one of the following:

the monomer of of starch is glucose, while the monomer of cellulose is galactose
human has enzymes that can hydrolyze the beta glycosidic linkages of starch but no the alpha glycosidic linkages of cellulose
Humans have enzymes that can hydrolyzes the alpha glycosidic linkages of starch but not the beta glycosidic linkages of cellulose
humans harbor starch-digesting bacteria in the digestive tract
the monomer of starch is glucose, while the monomer of cellulose is maltose

Explanation

Question 8 of 15

1

All of the following statements concerning saturated fats are true except

Select one of the following:

They are more common in animals than in plants
They have multiple double bonds in the carbon chains of their fatty acids
They generally solidify at room temperature
They contain more hydrogen than unsaturated fats having the same number of carbon atoms
They are one of several factors that contribute to atherosclerosis.

Explanation

Question 9 of 15

1

The R group or side chain of the amino acid serine is -CH2 -OH. The R group or side chain of the amino acid alanine is -CH3. Where would you expect to find these amino acids in a globular protein in aqueous solution?

Select one of the following:

Serine would be in the interior, and alanine would be on the exterior of the globular protein.
Alanine would be in the interior, and serine would be on the exterior of the globular protein.
Both serine and alanine would be on the interior of the globular protein.
Both serine and alanine would be on the exterior of the globular protein.
Both serine and alanine would be in the interior and exterior of the globular protein.

Explanation

1

If one strand of a DNA molecule has the sequence of bases 5' ATTGCA3' the other complementary strand would have the sequence

Select one of the following:

5'TAACGT3'
3' TAACGT5'
5' UAACGU 3'
3'UAACGU5'
5'UGCAAU3'

Explanation

Question 11 of 15

1

Select one of the following:

They are essential components of cell membranes.
They are steroids, which are not soluble in water.
They are made of fatty acids
They are hydrophilic compounds
They contribute to atherosclerosis

Explanation

Select one of the following:

maltose
fructose
glucose
galactose
sucrose

Select one of the following:

peptide bonds
hydrogen bonds
disulfide bonds
ionic bonds
phosphodiester bonds

Explanation
