14.) A bond in which electrons are completely lost or gained by the atoms involved
My Answer: B.) Hydrogen Bond
Correct Answer: D.) Ionic Bond PG.32
Ionic Bonds and the extreme differences in electronegativity confused me, and I was
thinking about how Hydrogen only has one electron and how it’s shared with oxygen in H2O
molecules.

16.) A type of bond important in tying different parts of the same molecule together into a three-
dimensional structure.
My Answer: D.) Ionic Bond
Correct Answer: B.) Hydrogen Bond PG.33
since I answered hydrogen on 14, I answered Ionic on this one.

17.) Organisms use carbohydrates in all of the following ways EXCEPT

My Answer: A.) as a component of cell walls.
Correct Answer:D.) to keep membranes flexible at low temperatures PG. 42-43
It confused me with the organisms and the cell walls.

My Answer: D.) It is an alternative to fermentation
Correct Answer: C.) It uses water to split larger molecules into smaller units. PG.132
I dont have an explanation for this one either, fermentation isn’t even close to
fermentation.

33.) Pyruvic acid is a product of

My Answer: A.) the Krebs cycle
Correct Answer: C.) glycolysis only PG. 132
It says it simply on the diagram. Why I put the Krebs cycle? I got confused on all of the
other acids produced in the Krebs cycle, it just doesn’t produce pyruvic acid

35.)How many ATP molecules can theoretically be produced from the NADH generated by the
catabolism of a molecule of glucose during aerobic respiration?
My Answer: D.)36
Correct Answer: C.)38 PG. 138
I just thought it was 36 instead of 38.

39.) Food microbiology applies to

My Answer: E.) using microbes to improve livestock and to solve agricultural problems
Correct Answer: B.) the control of microbial activity to prevent food borne illness. PG.769
when I read this question I was thinking about cowpox, and not food microbiology.

42.) Which of the following pairs is MISMATCHED?

My Answer: D.) Beer; malt
Correct Answer: B.) white wine; must PG. 770
