Q

You decide to try your at canning pickles. You immerse freshly picked cucumbers in a solution that has a solute concentration twice that found in the cucumber cells. You allow your preparation to cure for several months in a sealed jar.When you later open the jar, you find that the fluid surrounding the pickles is more dilute than when you started. This change in concentration is due to?
Is the substance hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic?

A

pickles in a hypertonic solution losing water through osmosis

Q

Imagine that you synthesize a molecule that resembles the substrate of a particular enzyme but has a different chemical composition. You discover that this “substrate imposter” can bind to the enzyme’s active site. What effect will the “substrate imposter” have on the reaction that is normally catalyzed by the enzyme?

Study These Flashcards
A

It will inhibit the reaction, it WILL NOT accelerate anything

25
Which of the following conditions represent stored( potential energy) 1) table sugar ready to be ingested 2) a diver about to dive off the platform 3) a gerbil running on its wheel
1 and 2
26
The induced fit model of enzyme catalysis states that the active site of the enzyme changes shape **before or after** substrate binds to it
AFTER
27
Is seawater hypertonic or hypotonic?
hypertonic
28
It is not a good idea to drink salt water because?
The cell's will lose water through osmosis, making you more thirsty
29
Which of the following features explains why plant cells do not explode as a result of osmosis? A) Plant cells have a central vacuole that holds water B) Plant cells are more likely than animal cells to explode because of osmosis C) Plant cells have a cell wall that prevents the cell from absorbing too much water
C
30
What binds to an enzyme which causes it to alter the active site so a substrate can no longer bind
Enzyme Inhibitors
31
Which of the following is a true statement about ATP and cellular work? A) ATP is destroyed during phosphate transfer B) ATP consists of adenosine and three phosphate groups C) During phosphate transfer, a phosphate group is added to ATP
B) ATP consists of adenosine and three phosphate groups
32
The region on an enzyme where a substrate binds is called the?
active site
33
How are combustion and cellular respiration similar?
At the end of both chemical reactions, carbon dioxide and water are produced
34
For what purpose might a cell transport materials across its plasma membrane?
To import nutrients, to get rid of wastes, or to secrete proteins
35
The enzyme lactase participates in what reaction?
The breakdown of lactose
36
Which type of passive diffusion is involved in ion transport across cell membranes?
Facilitated Diffusion
37
An animal cell placed in a hypertonic solution will *lose or gain* water by osmosis and *shrivel or lyse*
lose and shrivel
38
The sum total of all the chemicals reactions that occur in organisms is called___.
metabolism
39
The concentration of calcium in a cell is 0.3%. The concentration of calcium in the surrounding fluid is 0.1%. How could the cell obtain more calcium?
Active Transport
40
Which component of the following reaction is the enzyme? sucrose+ sucrase+ water-- sucrase+ glucose + fructose

41
A vesicle inside the cell fuses with the plasma membrane and releases its contents outside the cell is known as?
Exocytosis
42
A form of passive transport. Molecules move across the plasma membrane using a transport protein.
Facilitated Diffusion
43
The plasma membrane forms a pocket that pinches inward, forming a vesicle that contains material from outside the cell.
Endocytosis
44
A form of passive transport. Molecules move across the plasma membrane by crossing the lipid bilayer.
Diffusion
45
Requires energy from the cell. Molecules move against their concentration gradient.
Active Transport
46
