a dehydration rxn is what process?

water molecules are produced as a polymer is formed from monomers
what is NOT a polymer

glucose
polysach, triacylglycerides and proteins are similar cuz

they are synthesized from subunits by dehydration reactions
large organic molecules are assembled by polymerization of simple subunits. what's an exception?


a steroid



a molecule w/ the chemical formula C6H12O6 is

carb and monosaccharide only
palm oil and coconut oil are more like animal fats than are other plant oils. because they ___ than other plant oils, they may contribute to cardiovascular disease.


contain fewer double bonds



a molecule with the formula C18H36O2 is probs a

fatty acid
the label on a container of margarine lists "hydrogenated vegetable oil" as the major ingredient. what is the result of adding hydrogens to vegetable oil?

the hydrogenated vegetable oil stays solid at room temp.
what type of covalent bond between amino acid side chains functions in maintaining a polypeptide's specific three-dimensional shape?

disulfide bond
at which level of protein structure are interactions between the side chains most important?
tertiary
how will brief heating affect macromolecular structures in aqueous solution?
DNA duplexes will unwind and separate, and proteins will unfold
if cells are grown in a medium containing radioactive 35S which of these molecules will be labeled?

proteins
the difference between the sugar in DNA and sugar in RNA

contains one less oxygen atom
difference between DNA and RNA


DNA nucleotides contain a different sugar than RNA nucleotides



complementary strand of 5ATTGCA3

5TGCAAT3
C6H12O6. what would be the molecular formula for a polymer made by linking ten glucose molecules together by dehydration?

C60H102O51
unsaturated fats is true?

they are more common in plants than in animals
which class of biological polymer has the greatest functional variety?

proteins
all are in a prokaryotic cell EXCEPT

endoplasmic reticulum
which of the following statements concerning cells of bacteria and archaea is correct?

DNA is present in both archaea and bacteria
nuclear envelope of a eukaryotic cell?

nuclear envelope is continuous w/ the endoplasmic reticulum
if the lamina were to fall into disarray, what would happen?

a change in the shape of the nucleus
which structure is the site of the synthesis of proteins that may be exported from the cell
rough ER
what about the endomembrane system is correct?

proteins that will be secreted from the cell are likely to be found in closed spaces bounded by membranes of the endomembrane system
what eukarykotic organelle has evolved?

nuclear envelope
which of the following contains hydrolytic enzymes?

lysosomes
common traits of chloroplasts and mitochondria
DNA in both
enzymes, dna, ribosomes, plasma membrane, mitochondria

nearly any eukaryotic organism
why isn't the mitochondrion part of the endomembrane system?

its structure is not derived from the ER or Golgi
how does the cell multiply its peroxisomes

they split in two after they become sufficiently large
9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules, 9 doublets surrounding a pair of single microtubules?

both flagella and motile cilia
a cell treated with cytochalasin D will still be able to

move vesicles around the cell
cells require which of the following to form cilia or flagella

tubulin
what do the cell walls of plants and the extracellular matrix of animal cells have in common?

they have functional connections with the cytoskeleton inside the cell
characteristic common to all these features?

they are constructed of polymers that are synthesized in the cytoplasm and then transported out of the cell
extracellular matrix is thought to participate in communicating info from outside to the inside of the cell

integrins
plasmodesmata in plant cells are most similar in function to which of the following structures in animal cells?


gap junctions



which of the following is present in a prokaryotic cell?
ribosome
an animal cell lacking oligosaccharides on the external surface of its plasma membrane would likely be impaired in which function?

cell-cell recognition
which is least likely to be important in holding the components of a biological membrane together

covalent interactions between the phospholipid and protein components of the membrane
a typical plasma membrane is

two sides of the plasma membrane have different lipid and protein composition
move thorugh lipid bilayer quickest

CO2
Red blood cell with ion concentration 0.9% if in beaker of water?

the cell would swell cuz the water in the beaker is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the red blood cell
true of osmosis?

water moves across a membrane from areas of lower solute concentration to areas of higher solute concentration
which process includes all others

passive transport
phosphate transport is an example of

cotransport
how could the cell increase the concentration of phosphate in the cytosol?

active transport
the difference between pinocytosis and receptor mediated endocytosis

pino is nonselective in the molecules it brings into the cell, whereas receptor mediated endocytosis offers more selectivity
correctly describes some aspect of exocytosis or endocytosis

exocytosis and endo change the surface area of the plasma membrane
true about equilibrium of chemical rxns is correct?

a rxn that is at equilibrium is not capable of doing any work
which is most similar to structure to ATP

an RNA nucleotide
true concerning catabolic pathways

supply energy, primarily in the form of ATP, cell's work.
when chemical work is done, what happens to heat generated?

it is lost to the environment
