Pregunta
The function of the glycogen is:
Respuesta
  • provide structure within the cell
  • provide structure outside of the cell
  • allow movement of the cell
  • provide energy storage for the cell

Respuesta
  • Glycogen
  • Starch
  • Galactose
  • Chitin

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
If an enzyme solution is saturated with substrate, the most effective way to obtain an even faster yield of products is to:
Respuesta
  • Add more of the enzyme
  • Heat the solution to 90 degrees C
  • Add more substrate
  • Add an allosteric inhibitor

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
An enzyme accelerates a metabolic reaction by
Respuesta
  • altering the overall free-energy change for the reaction
  • making an endergonic reaction occur spontaneously
  • lowering the activation energy
  • pushing the reaction away from equilibrium

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
Which of the following is not associated with allosteric regulation of an enzyme's activity?
Respuesta
  • A molecule mimics the substrate and competes for the active site
  • A naturally occurring molecule stabilizes a catalytically active conformation
  • regulatory molecules bind to a site remote from the active site
  • Inhibitor and activator molecules may compete with one another

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
A scientist purified a protein from animal cells and made fluorescent antibodies to it. When she isolated pieces of the plasma membrane from another batch of aniaml cells and added the fluorescent antibodies, she could see fluorescence on both sides of the membrane. She tried to isolate the protein from the membranes but could not do so without destroying the membranes. The protein was probably...
Respuesta
  • a peripheral protein
  • a farnesyl-anchored protein
  • a transmembrane protein
  • a cytosolic protein

Pregunta 17

Pregunta
Which statement is false?
Respuesta
  • Plant cells undergo plasmlysis when they are places in a hypertonic solution
  • The cell wall prevents plant cells from bursting when they are places in a hypotonic solution
  • Animal cells shrink in size when they are placed in hypertonic solution
  • An animal cell place in a 1M solution of sucrose, or a 1M solution of isopropanol, will shrink.
