[8.30] Which of the following is true of enzymes?

Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering activation energy barriers.

Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reaction by providing activation energy to the substrate.

Enzyme function is increased if the 3- D structure or conformation of an enzyme is altered.

Enzyme function is independent of physical and chemical environmental factors such as pH and temperature.

[8.44] In the figure, why does the reaction rate plateau at higher reactant concentrations?

Most enzyme molecules are occupied by substrate at high reactant concentrations.

The rate of the reverse reaction increases with reactant concentration.

The reaction nears equilibrium at high reactant concentrations.

Feedback inhibition by product occurs at high reactant concentrations.

[8.62] In a biological reaction, succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of succinate to fumarate. The reaction is inhibited by malonic acid, a substance that resembles succinate but cannot be acted upon by succinate dehydrogenase. Increasing the amount of succinate molecules to those of malonic acid reduces the inhibitory effect if malonic acid. Select the correct identification of the molecules described in the reaction.

Succinate is the substrate, and fumarate is the product in the reaction.

Succinate dehydrogenase is the enzyme, and fumarate is the substrate in the reaction.

Fumarate is the product, and malonic acid is a noncompetitive inhibitor in the reaction.

Succinate dehydrogenase is the enzyme, and malonic acid is the substrate in the reaction.

[10.5] If photosynthesizing green algae are provided with CO 2 containing heavy oxygen ( 18 O), later analysis will show that all of the following molecules produced by the algae contain 18 O EXCEPT _____.

glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P)

[10.20] As electrons are passed through the system of electron carriers associated with photosystem II, they lose energy. What happens to this energy?

It is used to establish and maintain a proton gradient.

It excites electrons of the reaction center of photosystem I.

It is used to phosphorylate NAD + to NADPH, the molecule that accepts electrons from photosystem I.

Carbon dioxide is split to form oxygen gas and carbon compounds _____.

during photosynthesis and respiration

in neither photosynthesis nor respiration

[10.61] Students conducted an experiment to determine the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis. They punched 40 leaf disks from spinach leaves and used a syringe partially filled with water to pull the gases from the leaf disks so that all leaf disks sunk to the bottom of the syringe. Ten (10) leaf disks from the syringe were placed in each of four cups and covered with 50 ml of the solutions as indicated below. All leaf disks were resting on the bottom of the cups when the experiment began. The volume of liquid in each cup and the temperature of the solutions were held constant. All cups were placed 0.5 meters from the designated light source. A large beaker of water was placed between the light and the cups to act as a heat sink to prevent a change in temperature. At the end of 10 minutes, the number of disks floating in each cup was recorded.

Cup 4 had the slowest rate of photosynthesis because it had the least baking soda.

Cup 3 had the same rate of photosynthesis as Cup 1 because they had the same ratio of disks floating to wattage of light.

Cup 1 had a low rate of photosynthesis because 0.5 grams of baking soda did not provide a sufficient amount of CO 2 .

Cup 2 had the highest rate of photosynthesis because 5 disks were floating at the end of 10 minutes using a 50 watt light bulb.

[9.8] The oxygen consumed during cellular respiration is involved directly in which process or event?

accepting electrons at the end of the electron transport chain

the oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA

If pyruvate oxidation is blocked, what will happen to the levels of oxaloacetate and citric acid in the citric acid cycle shown in the accompanying figure?

Oxaloacetate will accumulate and citric acid will decrease.

Oxaloacetate will decrease and citric acid will accumulate.

Both oxaloacetate and citric acid will accumulate.

Both oxaloacetate and citric acid will decrease.

[9.30] During aerobic respiration, electrons travel downhill in which sequence?

glucose → NADH → electron transport chain → oxygen

glucose → ATP → electron transport chain → NADH

food → glycolysis → citric acid cycle → NADH → ATP

glucose → pyruvate → ATP → oxygen

When hydrogen ions are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix across the inner membrane and into the intermembrane space, the result is the _____.

lowering of pH in the mitochondrial matrix

Even though plants cells photosynthesize, they still use their mitochondria for oxidation of pyruvate. This will occur in _____.

cells that are storing glucose only

photosynthesizing cells in the light and in other tissues in the dark

photosynthetic cells in the light, while photosynthesis occurs concurrently

New biosensors, applied like a temporary tattoo to the skin, can alert serious athletes that they are about to "hit the wall" and find it difficult to continue exercising. These biosensors monitor lactate, a form of lactic acid, released in sweat during strenuous exercise. Which of the statements below is the best explanation of why athletes would need to monitor lactate levels?

During fermentation lactate levels increase, which indicates insufficient oxygen is reaching the muscles causing athletic performance to suffer.

During fermentation muscle cells receive too little pyruvate, thus athletes experience cramping and fatigue.

During aerobic respiration, muscle cells cannot produce enough lactate to fuel muscle cell contractions and muscles begin to cramp, thus athletic performance suffers.

During aerobic respiration, muscles cells produce too much lactate which causes a rise in the pH of the muscle cells, thus athletes must consume increased amounts of sports drinks, high in electrolytes, to buffer the pH.

The oxidation of glucose in the presence of oxygen involves glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle). Some energy is captured in glycolysis when glucose is converted to pyruvate (pyruvic acid). In the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), more energy is captured in the form of reduced electron carriers, NADH and FADH 2 . Select the best explanation for why the eventual reoxidation of NADH and FADH 2 is crucial for the continuation of the citric acid (Krebs) cycle.

In order for the cycle to continue, oxidized electron carriers must be available.

Without oxidized electron carriers, oxygen will not accept the electrons at the end of the electron transport chain.

Phosphate cannot attach to ADP to form ATP without oxidized electron carriers.

The presence of reduced forms of the electron carriers prevents the formation of ATP.
