Timed Practice Examples for BSC2010C Test 2 Spring 06 Directions: First dont panic, I have made these question

very difficult. Not all the test questions will be this difficult. You should take this timed practice in 7 minutes ; NO books, notes or outside help! 1. In Chemiosmosis: a. ATP production is linked to the proton gradient established by ATP synthase. b. The difference in pH between the intermembrane space and the cytosol drives the formation of ATP c. The flow of H+ through ATP synthase from the matrix to the intermembrane space drives the phosphorylation of ADP. d. The energy released by the reduction and subsequent oxidation of components of the electron transport chain is transferred as a phosphate to ADP. e. The production of water by the reduction of oxygen leads to a net flow of water out of the mitochondria.

2. The oxidation of the molecule FADH2 yields less ATP than a molecule of NADH yields
because FADH2 : a. carries fewer electrons b. is formed in the cytosol and energy is lost when it shuttles its electrons across the mitochondrial membrane. c. Passes its electrons to a transport molecule later in the chain at a lower energy level. d. Is the last molecule produced by the Krebs Cycle, and so cant capture as much energy from that cycle. e. Carries less energy than NADH.

3. You have observed that the transport a specific molecule across a membrane continues to
increase as the concentration difference of the molecule across the membrane decreases. Why??? a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. facilitated diffusion requires the use of ATP as the concentration difference increases the molecules interfere with one another a protein transporter must be involved Active transport must be involved An amphipathic protein must be involved Simple diffusion is involved More than one answer is correct None of the answers is correct

4. The solute concentration of a cell is 35%. The solvent concentration of the surrounding area is 95%. The cell is ________ its surrounding area. a. hypertonic b. hypotonic c. isotonic

5. Occludin is to Connexin as:

a. b. c. d. e. gap junctions are to tight junctions tight junctions are to gap junctions anchoring junctions are to gap junctions gap junctions are to anchoring junctions none of the choices is correct where is the prokaryotic electron transport chain located? in their ribosomes in their mitochondria they dont do that cycle in their cytoplasm in their plasma membrane

6. Prokaryotes lack most membrane organelles that are found in eukaryotes. Given this fact,
a. b. c. d. e. 7. a. b. c.

Animal viruses that integrate their DNA into the host chromosome: are RNA viruses are prophages are proviruses d. copy their genome into DNA using reverse transcriptase e. more than one is correct 8. The transfer of genes by uptake of DNA from the surrounding medium characterizes which type of gene transfer in bacteria? a. conjugation b. transduction c. transformation d. binary fission 9. a. b. c. d. A short tandem repeat is: a DNA fragment that has been cut by a restriction enzyme a DNA product that has been amplified a mobile element in the DNA a 2-5 base nucleotide sequence that is multiply repeated

10. DNA technology has many medical uses. Which of the following is not a current use of the technology? a. b. c. d. e. production of hormones, such as insulin prenatal screening of genetic diseases genetic testing for adult carriers of harmful genes introduction of genetically engineered genes into human gametes production of viral subunits for vaccines
