Question 1

Question
A cell has enough available ATP to meet its needs for about 30 seconds. What is likely to happen when an athlete exhausts his or her ATP supply?
Answer
  • ATP is transported into the cell from the circulatory system.
  • Other cells take over, and the muscle cells that have used up their ATP cease to function.
  • Catabolic processes are activated that generate more ATP.
  • He or she has to sit down and rest.

Question 2

Question
A number of systems for pumping ions across membranes are powered by ATP. Such ATP-powered pumps are often called ATPases, although they do not often hydrolize ATP unless they are simultaneously transporting ions. Because small increases in calcium ions in the cytosol can trigger a number of different intracellular reactions, cells keep the cytosolic calcium concentration quite low under normal conditions, using ATP-powered calcium pumps. For example, muscle cells transport calcium from the cytosol into the membranous system called the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). If resting muscle cell's cytosol has a free calcium ion concentration of 10^(-7) while the concentration in the SR is 10^(-2), then how is the ATPase acting?
Answer
  • ATPase activity must be opening a channel for the calcium ions to diffuse back into the SR along the concentration gradient.
  • ATPase activity must be pumping calcium from the cytosol to the SR against the concentration gradient.
  • ATPase activity must be powering an inflow of calcium from the outside of the cell into the SR.
  • ATPase activity must be transferring Ⓟi to the SR to enable this to occur.

Question 3

Question
Cell membranes are asymmetrical. Which of the following statements is the most likely explanation for the membrane's asymmetrical nature?
Answer
  • The two sides of a cell membrane face different environments and carry out different functions.
  • Since the cell membrane forms a border between one cell and another in tightly packed tissues such as epithelium, the membrane must be asymmetrical.
  • Since cell membranes communicate signals from one organism to another, the cell membranes must be asymmetrical.
  • Proteins only function on the cytoplasmic side of the cell membrane, which results in the membrane's asymmetrical nature.

Question 4

Question

  • directly enter the electron transport chain.
  • are directly decarboxylated by pyruvate dehydrogenase.

Question 6

Question

Answer

  • Hydrolysis increases entropy and is exergonic.
  • Hydrolysis decreases entropy and is exergonic.

Question 7

Question
Living organisms increase in complexity as they grow, resulting in a decrease in the entropy of an organism. How does this relate to the second law of thermodynamics?
Answer
  • As a consequence of growing, organisms cause a greater increase in entropy in their environment than the decrease in entropy associated with their growth.
  • Living organisms are able to transform energy into entropy.
  • Life obeys the second law of thermodynamics because the decrease in entropy as the organism grows is exactly balanced by an increase in the entropy of the universe.
  • Living organisms do not obey the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy must increase with time.

Question 8

Question
Proton pumps are used in various ways by members of every domain of organisms: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. What does this probably mean?

  • Cells of each domain evolved proton pumps independently when oceans became more acidic.
  • Proton gradients across a membrane were used by cells that were the common ancestor of all three domains of life.
  • The high concentration of protons in the ancient atmosphere must have necessitated a pump mechanism.
