1.

What type of transmembrane receptor is being shown?

a)

G-protein coupled receptor

b)

tyrosine kinase receptor

c)

gated ion channel

2.

When glucose levels in the blood rise, your brain sends a signal to your pancreas. The pancreas releases insulin, which opens channels in cell membranes to allow glucose to enter the cell, lowering blood sugar levels. 

a)

Positive Feedback Response

b)

Negative Feedback Loop 

3.

What role do NADH and FADH2 (produced during Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle) play in cellular respiration?

a)

they carry high energy electrons that eventually produce massive amounts of ATP

b)

They carry high energy H+ ions for chemiosmosis

c)

They are waste products and are pushed out of the cell

d)

They don't play any role in cellular respiration and are used in photosynthesis only

4.

The process of glycolysis results in which of the following molecules?

a)

NADH

b)

Pyruvate

c)

Glucose

d)

ATP

5.

If the proton (H+) pump in the thylakoid was not working which molecule could not be made during the light reaction?

6.

What is one function of the other pigments  besides chlorophyll, in the chloroplast?

a)

to block damaging wavelengths of light
