Bio G 1440 Sample Questions for Exam 1

The enzyme Rubisco has a substrate binding site for CO2


which also binds oxygen. If oxygen binds, no net Carbon fixation
occurs. There are also regulatory binding sites for CO2 and Carboxy
arabinotol Phosphate (CA1P).
1. In terms of Carbon fixation, Oxygen is an example of a noncompetitive inhibitor. (true or false)
2. CO2 must be bound to the enzyme at the regulatory site to have any
enzyme activity. Therefore, CO2 is an example of an allosteric
regulator. (true or false)
3. If CA1P binds to its regulatory site, The substrate CO2 is unable to
bind to the active form of the enzyme, and no reaction occurs.
Therefore, CA1P is an example of an allosteric regulator. (true or false)
Indicate whether the following statements concerning membrane
structure are true or false:
4. The structure of the lipid portion of a cell membrane is dictated by
the polarity of the lipid molecules.
5. No molecules are able to pass through the lipid portion of a cell
membrane.
6. Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding free energy change
( G)?
A. A net positive G releases energy, and occurs spontaneously.
B. A net positive G requires energy, and occurs spontaneously.
C. Any net change in G requires a net input of energy.
D. A net negative G releases energy, and occurs spontaneously.
E. A net negative G requires energy, and does not occur
spontaneously.
You are studying a certain type of bacteria, and want to observe their
behavior in different osmotic environments. You change the solution so that
is hypotonic
relative to the cells. Indicate whether each statement below is true or false:

7. Water will leave the cells.


8. An animal cell under the same conditions would likely burst.
9. The bacterial cell will never equilibrate with the solution.
