Biomolecules - week one - post class study

?
Which two elements show similarities in the pattern of chemical bonding?
lithium and Sodium
1 of 9
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Light → C6H12O6 + O2 is an example of a chemical reaction. What is occurring during this reaction?
Substances are changed into other substances by the making or breaking of chemical bonds.
2 of 9
A dehydration reaction
is used to form polymers.
3 of 9
Carbohydrate assembly occurs by
a dehydration reaction between monosaccharides that form polysaccharides and disaccharides.
4 of 9
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by an accumulation of proteins such as beta-amyloid protein in the cells. Beta-amyloid mRNA levels do not increase in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Explain how beta-amyloid protein levels increase in these patie
The beta-amyloid proteins are not broken down and recycled.
5 of 9
Patients with Parkinson's Disease have been shown to have a block in the movement of autophagosomes toward lysosomes. What would you predict as a result?
an accumulation of old or damaged mitochondria
6 of 9
Your body needs amino acids to build new proteins encoded by your genes. Many of these amino acids come from your diet through the ____ of proteins you eat.
catabolism
7 of 9
Aquaporin allows water molecules to move very rapidly across a plasma membrane. What would be the best definition of this process?
facilitated diffusion using a channel
8 of 9
When CO2 levels are low and O2 levels are high, rubisco adds an O2 molecule to RuBP. What are the consequences of this reaction?
Less RuBP will be available to fix CO2.
