Exam I_1-10

Description

Here are the first ten questions from exam I, scrambled and a little reformatted(in some I switched the question and the answer, and I made a few checkboxes instead of just having one right answer).

Question 1

Question
Which of the following is the largest?
Answer
  • a hydrogen ion
  • starch
  • a mitochondrion
  • a cell

Question 2

Question
Compared to when a solution is basic, when a solution is acidic it has...
Answer
  • the same pH
  • more free hydrogen ions
  • fewer total hydrogen ions, both in free and in large molecules
  • higher pH

Question 3

Question
The membranes that surround cells are made of many ...
Answer
  • triglycerides
  • nucleic acids
  • starches
  • micelles
  • phospholipids

Question 4

Question
The polarity of water...
Answer
  • means that protons are more often found by oxygen, not hydrogen
  • makes water magnetic
  • arises from the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen
  • allows water to make covalent bonds
  • allows water to make hydrogen bonds

Question 5

Question
The polysaccharide most likely to be a structural part of a plant is
Answer
  • glycogen
  • cellulose
  • ATP
  • chitin

Question 6

Question
The fatty acid tails of phospholipids are...
Answer
  • hydrophilic
  • made of steroids
  • hydrophobic
  • facing inside the cell
  • made of glycerol
  • joined to the head by glycerol
  • facing outside the cell

Question 7

Question
Insulin receptors are proteins in the membranes of cells. When insulin binds to the receptor it changes the shape of the receptor. The shape change activates a response in the cell. You are studying a new protein that no one has studied before. You find out your protein has the same shape as the insulin receptor. Based on this information, you would predict that your new protein has...
Answer
  • a similar function to proteins with different shapes
  • no function-- the protein is denatured
  • a similar function to the known insulin receptors
  • a similar protein to the hydrophilic proteins inside the cells

Question 8

Question
Pasteur studied germ hypothesis when the spontaneous generation hypothesis was still popular. He sterilized broth in a swan neck flask, and then waited to see if living organisms grew. With the swan neck intact, he observed that when he waited he saw...
Answer
  • no bacterial growth
  • bacterial growth
  • data supporting the germ hypothesis
  • data contradicting the germ hypothesis
  • data supporting the spontaneous generation hypothesis

Question 9

Question
Which type of bond holds two different water molecules to each other, or the two halves of a DNA double helix together?
Answer
  • non-polar covalent bonds
  • ionic bonds
  • hydrogen bonds
  • double covalent bonds
  • polar covalent bonds

Question 10

Question
Which two are made of monomers and held together with covalent bonds?
Answer
  • nucleic acids
  • all acids
  • water
  • proteins
  • starches
