QUESTION NO. 1L-Carnitine is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in the kidneys and then transported to other tissues. It is most concentrated in tissues that use fatty acids as their primary fuel, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle. In this regard, L-carnitine plays an important role in energy production by conjugating to fatty acids for transport from the cytosol into the mitochondria. L-carnitine shuttle is an example of A. ion driven active transport B. facilitated diffusion C. simple diffusion D. ATP driven active transportE. symport F. antiportQUESTION NO.2 Statements: (1) Glucose is both a hexose and a aldose. (2) There can never be more than three enantiomers for a molecule. (3) All common disaccharides have beta-one-four linkages. Which statements are true?
QUESTION 29 Which of the following is NOT a primary method used to regulate the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks)? A. Binding to cyclins B. Binding to a CDK inhibitor C. Dephosphorylation of a specific amino acid D. Degradation by a proteasome E. Phosphorylation on a specific amino acid
QUESTION 14 Which of the following statements is FALSE? A Microtubules will rapidly disassemble in response to a drop in the ATP concentration. B G-actin monomers and alpha-tubulin/beta-tubulin dimers assemble into filaments in their ATP-bound and GTP-bound forms, respectively. C Microtubules are stabilized by microtubule-binding proteins, such as Tau. D Actin-binding proteins allow F-actin to assemble in cells in many different ways. E Hydrolysis of ATP and GTP changes the conformation of the monomers once they are incorporated into actin filaments and microtubules, respectively.
QUESTION 21 You are in charge of generating a scaffold for use in tissue engineering applications that behaves similarly to the natural ECM proteins. What proteins might you want to include in your scaffold? A Fibronectin only B Collagen, fibronectin, and proteoglycans C Proteoglycans only D None of the above are proteins in the ECM E Collagens only
QUESTION 32 All living organisms, including both bacteria and Eukaryotes have: (Select all that apply) the ability to extract energy from the environment to do work Ribosomes double stranded DNA L-amino acids Peptidoglycan Nuclei D-monosaccharides Plasma membranes made of phospholipids Robust cytoskeleton, including actin and microtubules
Question 11. // Hint: Isoelectric focusing separates proteins based on their pI values, and can separate proteins that only differ by a net charge of ±1.±1. Recall that an amino acid residue with a negatively charged R group has a relatively low isoelectric point (pI) where it has zero net charge. Likewise, an amino acid residue with a positively charged R group has a relatively high isoelectric point (pI) where it has zero net charge. Order from Low pH to High pH
Question 1. The salt marsh plant pickleweed or Salicornia bigelovii is, not surprisingly, very salt tolerant. It can also regulate its response to the changing salt concentrations found in the marsh... The plant has ways to adapt to these different conditions. For example, under high salt conditions, the plant might want its membrane potential more similar to what it is in low salt conditions. Which things could be varied by the plant cell?
Question:- The enzyme aromatase is found in the cytoplasm of some cells and converts testosterone to estrogen. You decide to test aromatase from a particular cell, and oops, your lab partner admits he drastically increased the pH in all the test tubes. Which of the following is a likely result? a. The enzyme will be denatured and the substrate will not bind to the active site. b. The enzyme will convert testosterone to estrogen at a faster rate. c. The mistake will have no effect on the experiment, because enzymes are not sensitive to pH. d. The free energy will be lowered and the reaction will not proceed spontaneously.
QUESTION NO.1which of the following are chemical characteristics of monosaccharides? A. They contain multiple hydroxyl groupsB. they contain an aldehyde or ketone group C. They contain a branching carbon backbone D. They contain a carbon-carbon double bond E. Every carbon in a monosaccharide is fully reduced F. Every carbon in a monosaccharide is a chiral centerQUESTION NO.2 glucose absorption is hindered by _________ deficiency A. Retinol B. Thiamine C. Potassium D. Sodium E. Ascorbic acid F.

QUESTION NO. 1Targeting a protein to be degraded within proteasomes usually requires ubiquitin. In the function of ubiquitin all of the following are true except: A. ATP is required for activation of ubiquicin. B. a peptide bond forms between the carboxyl terminal of ubiquitin and an ε-amino group of a lysine . C. linkage of a protein to ubiquitin does not always mark it for degradation. D. the N-terminal amino acid is one determinant of selection for degradation. E. ATP is required by the enzyme that transfers the ubiquitin to the protein to be degraded QUESTION NO. 2Much of procollagen formation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus which requires signal peptide. All of the following statements about targeting a protein for the ER are true except. A. signal peptide usually has a positively charged N-terminus and a stretch of hydrophobic amino acids. B. signal peptide emerging from a free ribosome binds signal recognition…

B Microtubules will lengthen by adding tubulin subunits to their + ends. C The GTP-bound tubulin subunits will move into the nucleus. D Microtubules will undergo catastrophe and shorten. E Microtubules will lengthen by adding tubulin subunits to their - ends.
