Question 1: How does the body react to rapid weight loss?

Hunger decreases and the metabolic rate goes up.

Hunger increases and the metabolic rate goes up.

Hunger increases and the metabolic rate goes down.

Question 2: Which of the graphs in the figure best illustrates the activity of an enzyme as substrate concentration increases from 0 to the saturation point of the enzyme?

graph of substrate-enzyme activity

Question 3: What is the connection between a person's genes and his or her metabolism?

DNA regulates metabolic pathways directly

enzymes encoded by genes regulate metabolic pathways

structural proteins encoded by genes regulate metabolic pathways

Question 4: Energy is stored in different forms in the body. ATP is very unstable and is put to use very quickly in cells. Other storage molecules last longer. Which gives the major energy stores of the body in the correct order?

Short term: fat. Medium term: glycogen. Long term: glucose.

Short term: glycogen. Medium term: glucose. Long term: fat.

Short term: glucose. Medium term: glycogen. Long term: fat.

Question 5: Which of the following are characteristics of metabolic pathways?

Contain many intermediates.

Are regulated.

Each pathway has a key enzyme that catalyzes most of the reactions

Are specific for each organism

Are often reversible

Question 6: What would be a typical regulatory system in a metabolic pathway?

The pathway's product slows it down, so that the product is maintained at a constant level in the cell or organism.

The pathway's product makes it go faster, so that more and more of the product builds up in the cell or body.

Question 7: In a metabolic pathway, a typical control mechanism is to have: ________

a lack of reactant stimulate the pathway.

the final product inhibit the enzyme responsible for its own production.

a reactant inhibit a late step.

the final product inhibit an early step.

Question 8: Which best describes body weight regulation in a normal human who is living in a modern society?

Our normal responses of appetite and metabolism tend to cause weight gain in modern societies, and they also tend to make weight loss difficult.

Our normal responses of appetite and metabolism ensure that adults remain at a given normal body weight. Any change from this normal weight sets in motion responses that return the body to its normal weight.

Question 9: Which of the following regulatory mechanisms is described incorrectly?

All are correct

competitive inhibitor: binds to the active site of the enzyme

substrate availability: more substrate increases enzyme activity (until it reaches saturation)

enzyme modification: enzyme gains or loses a functional group

feedback inhibition: product inhibits its own production

Question 10: The fundamental difference between competitive and non-competitive inhibition is: _________________________

the size of the active site of the enzyme.

the manner of binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme.

the manner of binding of the substrate to the enzyme.

a germ cell

Question 17: If a germ cell has 46 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will you find in the daughter cells, after meiosis?

Question 18: During the S phase of the cell cycle, DNA is replicated. What form would you expect the DNA to be in?

It would be in a loose pile.

It would be tightly wound around histone proteins as chromosomes.

It would be made of separate nucleotides just floating in the nucleus.

Question 19: During which stage of the cell cycle is the DNA replicated?

S

Cytokinesis
