QUESTION 1 Your body can synthesize all of the biomolecules below except: (Check all that apply) ATP 9 of the amino acids Omega 3 fatty acids glycogen QUESTION 2 A patient comes to the clinic with a long history of infections. Currently, they are suffering from a infection that has gone on for several days. A test reveals that there are no antibodies circulating in the patient's system. What could explain this? (Check all possible explanations) The patient is in the early stages of a measles infection. Bacterial cells have overwhelmed the patient's macrophages. The patient has a genetic disorder in which neutrophils do not form. The patient has a genetic disorder in which B cells do not form. QUESTION 3 What are the two ways bacteria become immune to antibiotics mentioned in this module? (Check two) By producing "interceptor" molecules that bind to and change the antibiotic, rendering it harmless. By producing more cell pumps that help keep the antibiotic out of the cell. By reproducing so rapidly that no amount of antibiotic can inhibit growth. By finding pockets within hosts to which antibiotics do not have access.

Question 1 A) What happens to an organism that is exposed to a genotoxic insult but has mutation in any of the genes that code for proteins that participate in apoptosis or cell cycle checkpoint work? (2 points) B) In addition to the major proteins that initiate the signal that DNA damage has occurred, there are signal transducer proteins that coordinate the cellular response, and mediators of the cell-cycle checkpoints that appear to be independent of the major initiator proteins. What evidence is there that these mediators can act independently of the initiators? (2 points) What happens if a cell is missing these mediators? (2 points) C) Describe how the cell cycle checkpoint complexes affect each part of interphase (I am looking for the major action, no need to describe the molecular specifics). (3 points)

Homework: The Function of Biomolecules Answer the following questions about the biomolecules. 1. Both complex carbohydrates and lipids can provide energy to your body as they are broken down. However, only carbohydrates are broken down into which of the following subunits? 2. Amino acids and sugars are both required by animals to maintain their health. Without a diet containing both of these, animals cannot survive. Amino acids are obtained by animals when they digest – 3. If a complex molecule can be digested to produce monosaccharides and disaccharides, then the original molecules should be classified as which type of biomolecule? 4. Triglycerides are compounds created by combining a molecule of glycerol with three fatty acids. Triglycerides are used to store large amounts of energy and are classified as a form of which biomolecule? 5. Every living cell, DNA and RNA serve as the molecules that store and transmit genetic information throughout the cell. These molecules are both forms of which biomolecule? Answer the questions below by selecting one of the following answer choices. 1. Which diagram accurately depicts a nucleic acid? 2. Which diagram accurately depicts a carbohydrate? 3. Which of the diagrams accurately depicts a protein? 4. Which of the diagrams accurately depicts a lipid? 5. Which diagram can also be called a fat? 6. Which diagram does NOT represent a polymer? 7. Which diagram shows part of a cell's genetic material?

2. You are designing a vaccine to protect against infection by an invasive encapsulated bacterial species that establishes infection by living and replicating outside of the body's cells. Encapsulated means that the bacterium has a thick polysaccharide coating around the cell, making it resistant to phagocyte engulfment as well as complement-mediated lysis via the alternative pathway of complement activation. From previous research, you have learned that the most protective immune response to this type of bacteria is the production of antibodies that are specific to (and bind to) the polysaccharide molecules that form the bacterial capsule. a. What are the immune response mechanisms triggered by these protective antibodies and how do they result in clearance of the bacterial infection? b. You first decide to try vaccinating with the polysaccharide antigen along with an adjuvant, to evoke specific antibody production. This evoked a short-term immune response in adults, but did not lead to memory B cell formation. Describe the characteristics of the immune response that was elicited in this case. c. Your next strategy is to conjugate the polysaccharide molecule to a protein component, then inject with the chemically linked compound and an adjuvant. This resulted in high levels of high affinity IgG specific for the bacterial capsule polysaccharide and generated long-term memory B cells. Why was this strategy effective? Describe the key elements of the adaptive immune response that occurred upon this vaccination strategy that gave rise to immunological protection.
