Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
A rapidly dividing cell will have a greater abundance of which nucleotide?
Responda
  • Guanine and Adenine because purine synthesis is more important for a developing cell
  • Cytosine and Thiamine because pyrimidine synthesis is less taxing and therefore proceed more quickly
  • The concentration of pyrimidines and purines will be equal regardless of the conditions
  • Purines are critical for DNA replication, so purine concentration will be higher

Questão 2

Questão
Which of the following is a nucleotide?

Questão 3

Questão
For the previous question why was the correct answer the only nucleotide?
Responda
  • It was the only answer that consisted of a nucleoside bound to a phosphate group
  • All of the other answers were sugars
  • All of the other answers were bases
  • None of the other answers were biologically important molecules

Questão 4

Questão
Which of the following is not a biological function of Nucleotides?
Responda
  • They are precursors to glycogen and other phosphoglycerides
  • Nucleotides exclusively compromise the universal energy currency
  • They serve as metabolic regulators and mediate the action of many hormones
  • Nucleotides entirely make up three major co-enzymes: NADH, FAD, and CoA

Questão 5

Questão
cAMP is a nucleotide that mediates hormones
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 6

Questão
Purine biosynthesis involves which of the following precursors?
Responda
  • Glycine
  • Glutamine
  • Aspartate
  • carbon dioxide
  • Formyltetrahydrofolate
  • All of the above are required atom contributors

Questão 7

Questão
PRPP (Phosphoribosylpyrophosphate) is the source of the ribose sugar in...
Responda
  • purine de novo synthesis and purine salvage pathways
  • purine de novo synthesis
  • purine salvage
  • purine and pyrimidine de novo synthesis

Questão 8

Questão
Which describes the committed step for purine de novo synthesis?
Responda
  • Glutamine-PRPP amido-transferase is the active enzyme
  • PRPP feeds into the committed step
  • Glutamine feeds into the step and becomes glutamate
  • All of the above

Questão 9

Questão
THF is an enzyme that performs which of the following actions?
Responda
  • Eliminates an amide group
  • Transfers one carbon from N10-Formyl THF to the growing purine precursor
  • Allosterically activates HGRPT
  • Facilitates a Glutamine dependent nitrogen tranfer
  • Facilitates ring closure of the growing purine

Questão 10

Questão
The base hypoxanthine is described by which of the following statements?
Responda
  • Inosinic Acid (IMP) is the nucleoside form of hypoxanthine
  • Hypoxanthine is critical only to the conversion of IMP to GMP not IMP to AMP
  • Hypoxanthine is reduced to xanthine during the purine synthesis pathway
  • The oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine is blocked by allpurinol

Questão 11

Questão
PRPP impacts which of the following?
Responda
  • De novo synthesis of purines
  • Direct production of IMP through PRPP's reaction with Hypoxanthine
  • Direct production of GMP through PRPP's reaction with Guanine
  • All of the above are catalyzed by HGPRT and all are true in healthy cells

Questão 12

Questão
Which of the following is deficient in Gout?
Responda
  • HGPRT
  • ADA (adenosine deaminase)
  • PNP (purine nucleoside phosphorylase)
  • You have to be more specific, gout could be the result of numerous enzyme deficiencies
  • XO (xanthine oxidase)

Questão 13

Questão
Lesch Nyhan Syndrome is caused by a deficiency in which of the following?
Responda
  • PRPP
  • XO (xanthine oxidase)
  • ADA (adenosine deaminase)
  • HGPRT
  • You have to provide more information, Lesch Nyhan Syndrome could be caused by the deficiency of a number of different enzymes

Questão 14

Questão
Which is the committed step of Pyrimidine synthesis?
Responda
  • Aspartate Transcarbamoylase ATCase
  • Dihydroorotase
  • OPRT
  • CTP synthetase

Questão 15

Questão
Familial Orotic Aciduria can be treated using which of the following methods?
Responda
  • There is no curative treatment, simply a management of symptoms
  • Delivery of large doses of orally administered uridine to simply bypass the early steps of pyrimidine synthesis
  • Delivery of large doses of the missing/deficient orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT)
  • Delivery of fully synthesized pyrimidines for uptake into the cell

Questão 16

Questão
Which of the following are made by a two enzyme complex (Thymidylate Synthetase and Dihydrofolate reductase) after ribonucleotide reductase acts on freshly minted purines and pyrimidines?
Responda
  • dADP
  • dGDP
  • dCDP
  • dUDP
  • dTTP

Questão 17

Questão
dATP is the master negative regulator of Ribonucleotide Reductase.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 18

Questão
Which of the following enzymes should I know really well?
Responda
  • Ribosomyl Reductase
  • PRPP Synthetase
  • Xanthine Oxidase
  • Dihydrofolate Reductase
  • HGPRT
  • Amidophosphoryl Transferase ATase = glutamine PRPP amidotransferase
  • I should probably know all of these

Questão 19

Questão
Why do we use "De Novo" instead of saying from scratch?
Responda
  • Because Carl Sagan's famous Apple Pie from scratch comment makes it too awesome to use in any setting other than musing about the universe
  • Because De Novo is more descriptive
  • To confuse those who are sadly lacking in medical jargon
  • Because fancy language is awesome
