Question 7
Question
Insulin receptors are proteins in the membranes of cells. When insulin binds to the receptor it changes the shape of the receptor. The shape change activates a response in the cell. You are studying a new protein that no one has studied before. You find out your protein has the same shape as the insulin receptor. Based on this information, you would predict that your new protein has...
Answer
-
a similar function to proteins with different shapes
-
no function-- the protein is denatured
-
a similar function to the known insulin receptors
-
a similar protein to the hydrophilic proteins inside the cells
Question 8
Question
Pasteur studied germ hypothesis when the spontaneous generation hypothesis was still popular. He sterilized broth in a swan neck flask, and then waited to see if living organisms grew. With the swan neck intact, he observed that when he waited he saw...
Answer
-
no bacterial growth
-
bacterial growth
-
data supporting the germ hypothesis
-
data contradicting the germ hypothesis
-
data supporting the spontaneous generation hypothesis

Answer
-
non-polar covalent bonds
-
ionic bonds
-
hydrogen bonds
-
double covalent bonds
-
polar covalent bonds
Question 10
