Answer:
folded away from the water interface and hidden inside the protein Question 2: In water, hydrogen bonds form between:
Answer:
Oxygen and hydrogen atoms Question 3: Enzymes that add or remove a phosphate group are respectively named?
Answer:
Kinase and phosphatase
Question 4: What determines the number of covalent bonds an atom can create?
Answer:
The excess or shortage of electrons in its outermost electron shell.
Question 5: Proteins that lack a sorting signal peptide are retained in the?
Answer:
Cytosol Question 6: Protein structure is dictated by the amino acid sequence. Should a protein, in which the order of all amino acids is reversed have the same structure as the original protein?
Answer:
No the amino acid sequence is the same but the amino and carboy termini are not Question 7: Oxygen with 6 electrons in the outer electron shell (that needs 8 to be complete), can make how many covalent bonds?
Answer:
2
Question 8: The reverse of a condensation reaction is called?
Answer:
hydrolysis Question 9: Why is it that thousands of weak bonds (hydrogen bonds) make such stable and specific structural arrangements? Identify a statement that is NOT TRUE.
Answer:
Hydrogen bonds are weak individually and do not contribute to an overall equilibrium Question 10: if a signal sequence is removed by genetic engineering from an ER protein:
Answer:
the protein is retained in the cytosol Question 11: Phospholipids make a fluid liquid, meaning that molecules move within the membrane structure without the input of energy. Which of the following phospholipid movements require the input of energy?
Answer:
phospholipid flipping (movement from one layer to another).
Question 12: Which of the following generates the largest amount of ATP?
Answer:
oxidative phosphorylation.
Question 13: Which of the following are true energy carriers in cells?
Answer:
ATP/GTP and NADH and NADPH and FADH2.
Question 14: What happens to the membrane of a vesicle after exocytosis?
Answer:
It fuses with and becomes part of the plasma membrane.
Question 15: Phospholipids form lipid bilayers spontaneously because?
Answer:
They are amphipathic (polar and non-polar) Question 16: Even though peroxisomes, chloroplasts and mitochondria import proteins via a translocon complex they do it differently. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about protein import into specialized organelles?
Answer:
peroxisome importer proteins (POC/PIC) denature cargo proteins while importing proteins across a double layer membrane structure
Question 17: Which group is NOT present on ALL amino acids?
Answer:
Hydroxyl group Question 18: Photosynthesis enables plants to capture energy from sunlight to produce:
Answer:
sugars Question 19: Even though peroxisomes, chloroplasts and mitochondria import proteins via a translocon complex they do it differently. Which of the following is TRUE about protein import into specialized organelles?
Answer:
mitochondria if a protein has 1 or more transmembrane domains it is not released in the mitochondrial matrix space but rather diverted to the mitochondrial inner membrane
chloroplast targeted proteins sometimes have 2 signal peptides 1 to deposit the p Question 20: Which characteristic of a phospholipid contributes to the fluidity of the membrane?
Answer:
double bonds in the fatty acid tail Question 21: Protein kinases phosphorylate target enzymes and as a result enzymes become activated or inactivated. Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?
Answer:
the presence of a phosphate group tags the enzyme allowing interactions with other enzymes.
Question 22: Which of the statements are TRUE about oxidative phosphorylation?
Answer:
Electrons start at very low redox potentials that increases at each transfer step.
Electrons start out at very high free energy and lose energy at each transfer step.Question 23: Sugars (glucose) ingested from food are broken down by:
Answer:
glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
Question 24: What type of bond is formed when atoms share electrons?
Answer:
covalent bond Question 25: Translation of proteins that initiate in the cytosol but are destined for other
organelles must first associate with the:
Answer:
endoplasmic reticulum Question 26: Which organelle accepts proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies them, and redistributes them to other destinations of the cell?
Answer:
golgi apparatus
