1. Several different classes of enzymes are needed for the catabolism of carbohydrates. Which of the following descriptions best matches the function of a kinase? (a) An enzyme that catalyzes the rearrangement of bonds within a single molecule. (b) An enzyme that catalyzes a change in the position of a specific chemical group within a single molecule. (c) An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of a molecule by removing a hydride ion. (d) An enzyme that catalyzes the addition of phosphate groups to other molecules. 2. On a diet consisting of nothing but protein, which of the following is the most likely outcome? (a) loss of weight because amino acids cannot be used for the synthesis of fat (b) muscle gain because the amino acids will go directly into building muscle (c) tiredness because amino acids cannot be used to generate energy (d) excretion of more nitrogenous (ammonia-derived) wastes than with a more balanced diet 3. Which of the following processes do not take place in the mitochondria? (a) citric acid cycle (b) conversion of pyruvate to activated acetyl groups (c) oxidation of fatty acids to acetyl CoA (d) glycogen breakdown 4. What purpose does the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase serve as the first step in glycolysis? (a) It helps drive the uptake of glucose from outside the cell. (b) It generates a high-energy phosphate bond. (c) It converts ATP to a more useful form. (d) It enables the glucose 6-phosphate to be recognized by phosphofructokinase, the next enzyme in the glycolytic pathway. 5. Which of the following cells rely exclusively on glycolysis to supply them with ATP? (a) anaerobically growing yeast (b) aerobic bacteria (c) skeletal muscle cells (d) plant cells

1. Name one enzyme in glycolysis that is regulated by either a product of glycolysis or the citric acid cycle/oxidative phosphorylation. Include in your answer (i) the name of the enzyme, (ii) an example of molecule(s) that positively (activates) or negatively (inhibits) that enzyme, and (iii) why this regulation would be important. (4.5pts) 2. Choose a phospholipid (name it!) that we have discussed in class and distinguish between the molecules that make up that phospholipid. Describe how the chemical properties of these individual components contribute to the function of a phospholipid in the cell. What is the word that scientists use to describe a molecule with these properties? (5pts) 3. A rat's liver is respiring actively, and you supply the liver with glucose labeled with 14C, a radioactive isotope of carbon. Which of the following will rapidly become radioactively labeled: water, carbon dioxide, or NADH? Briefly explain your answer. (3pts) 4. In photosynthetic light reactions, how is ATP generated? What is the source of "energy" used to power ATP synthesis in these reactions? Explain your answer thoroughly. (6pts) 5. What is the 1st molecule that "enters" the citric acid cycle? How does the cell produce this molecule? A full credit answer requires two or more examples of how this molecule is produced. (3pts) 6. The "chromophore" of green fluorescent protein (GFP) is essential to its function. Describe the structure of the GFP protein: (i) describe the overall structure, (ii) give examples of where you would find different types of secondary structures. (iii) How do secondary and tertiary structures relate to the "functionality" of GFP? (4pts)
