| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| In a bacterial cell, the DNA is in the: | Nucleiod |
| In eukaryotes, the nucleus is enclosed by a double membrane called the: | Nuclear envelope |
| What group of single-celled micro-organisms has many members found growing in extreme environments? | Archaea |
| The bacterium E. coli requires simple organic molecules for growth and energy. It is therefore what kind of "troph"? | Chemoheterotroph |
| Put the following cellular components in order of increasing size: protein, amino acid, ribosome, mitochondrion | Amino acid < protein < ribosome < mitochondrion |
| The 3-D structure of macromolecules is formed and maintained primarily through noncolvent interactions. What is not a covalent interaction? | Carbon-carbon bonds |
| The four covalent bonds in methane (CH4) are arranged around carbon to give which type of geometry? | Tetrahedral |
| The macromolecules that serve in the storage and transmission of genetic info are: | Nucleic acids |
| Stereoisomers that are non superimposable mirror images of each other are called: | Enantiomers |
| The enzyme fumarase catalyzes the reversible hydration of fumaric acid to I-malate, but it will not catalyze the hydration of maleic acid, the cis isomer of fumaric acid. This is an example of: | Stereospecificity |
| Humans maintain a nearly constant level of hemoglobin by continually synthesizing and degrading it. This is an example of a(n): | Dynamic steady state |
