Exam 2 Practice Questions Cell Biology Fall 2000 Lantz Note: answers will not be posted. You should be able to answer all of these questions by studying your notes and/or text. Please see me if you have trouble with a question(s). Multiple choice. Circle the letter next to the best answer. 1. If you isolate mitochondria and place them in buffer with a low pH they begin to manufacture ATP. Why? A. Low pH increases the OH- concentration in the matrix resulting in ATP production by ATP synthase. B. Low pH increases the acid concentration in the mitochondrial matrix, a condition that normally causes ATP production by ATP synthase. C. The high external acid concentration causes an increase in H+ in the inner membrane space leading to increased ATP production by ATP synthase. D. Low pH increases the concentration of base causing mitochondria to pump out H+ to the inner membrane space leading to ATP production by ATP synthase. 2. Most of the energy harvested by the citric acid cycle is conserved as: A. B. C. D. E. NADH FAD GTP carbon dioxide acetyl Coenzyme A 3. Within photosystem II, in what order do the following events occur? w. chlorophyll molecules located within the antenna complex absorb a photon of light x. excited chlorophyll molecules funnel their energy to the reaction center y. a chlorophyll molecule loses a high-energy electron z. electrons are transferred to plastoquinone A. B. C. D. E. w, x, y, z w, y, z, x w, z, y, x w, x, z, y w, y, x, z 4. In cellular respiration, CO2 is released: A. B. C. D. during glycolysis. during the citric acid cycle. during oxidative phosphorylation. as electrons are transferred through the respiratory enzyme complexes. 5. Decreasing the length of the hydrocarbon tails in cell membrane phospholipids would: A. B. C. D. increase the fluidity of the membrane. decrease the fluidity of the membrane. increase the rate of passive transport. decrease the rate of passive transport. 6. Which of the following statements regarding chromosomes is false? A. Each eucaryotic chromosome consists of a single, long linear DNA molecule plus associated proteins B. Mitotic chromosomes are more compact than interphase chromosomes. C. Negatively charged histone proteins located in nucleosomes are among the most highly conserved of all known proteins. D. The sum of the DNA in the chromosomes of an organism is called its genome. 7. What would be the consequences if eucaryotic chromosomes lacked centromeres? A. B. C. D. The chromosomes would not attach to the mitotic spindle. The DNA would not be transcribed. The DNA would not become condensed. DNA replication could not be initiated efficiently. 8. The direction of transfer of uncharged solutes across a biological membrane is determined by the: A. B. C. D. membrane potential electrochemical gradient voltage across the membrane concentration gradient 9. An antiport is: A. an ion channel that can simultaneously transport two ions of like charge across a membrane in the opposite direction B. a carrier protein that transports a single solute molecule symmetrically in either direction across a membrane, depending on the direction of the electrochemical gradient of the solute. C. a simple ion channel which can transport either positive or negative ions. D. a carrier protein that couples the transport of two solute molecules in the opposite direction across a membrane. 10. At the end of glycolysis, there is a net gain of ___________ for each glucose molecule broken down. A. one molecule of pyruvate, one molecule of ATP, and one molecule of NADH B. one molecule of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, one molecule of pyruvate, and four molecules of ATP. C. two molecules of pyruvate, four molecules of ATP, and two molecules of NADH D. two molecules of pyruvate, two molecules of ATP, and two molecules of NADH 11. For a voltage-gated ion channel, the probability of being in an open configuration is controlled by the: A. B. C. D. E. membrane potential fluidity of the membrane specific binding of an extracellular ligand to the gate rate of ATP hydrolysis none of the above 12.

Ion channels: A. B. C. D. are single pass transmembrane proteins. transfer solutes more slowly than carrier proteins. discriminate between ions according to their charge and size. can actively transport ions across membranes. 14. Which of the following statements about mitochondria is false? A. B. C. D. protons are pumped from the inner membrane space into the matrix. The inner membrane is folded into cristae. The outer membrane is permeable to protons. The respiratory enzymes complexes are located in its inner membrane. 15. __________________ acts as the final electron acceptor in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. A. B. C. D. CO2 O2 Cytochrome oxidase complex H2O 16. What is the primary advantage that cells capable of using oxygen in cellular respiration have over cell that can only conduct fermentation? 17. What is the role of flippases in lipid bilayer (membrane) synthesis? 18.
