solution.
True or False: Water is the universal solvent in biological systems.
True
True or False: Water bathes organs in fluid, which provides protection and support.
True
True or False: The high specific heat of water means that we only lose a small amount of heat when the sweat on our skin evaporates.
False
True or False: Water plays a major role in our bodies’ chemical reactions.
True
True or False: Catabolism consists of energy-releasing decomposition reactions. Such reactions break covalent bonds, produce smaller molecules from larger ones, and release energy that can be used for other physiological work.
True
True or False: If a molecule has the suffix –ase, it is likely an enzyme.
True
In the stable form of protein, what is generally oriented to the interior of the protein molecule?
Hydrophobic portions
The helix that forms in a protein chain as a result of hydrogen bonds and other weak forces is an example of
secondary structure of protein.
What type of bonds link individual amino acids together?
peptide bonds
When an egg is fried, what happens to the protein in the egg?
The protein is denatured.
In DNA, which nitrogenous base pairs with adenine?
Thymine
True or False: Cytosine and guanine form three hydrogen bonds with each other.
True
Enzymes are
proteins.
Which of the following binds to the active site of an enzyme?
a) Substrate
b) Water
c) None of these choices are correct.
d) Product
e) Any other enzyme
Substrate
Which of the following correctly represents the mechanism of enzyme function?
E = enzyme
S = substrate
P = product
a) E + P -> E-P -> E-S -> E + S
b) S + P -> E-P -> E + P
c) E + S -> E-P -> E-S -> E + S
d) E + P -> E-S -> E-P -> E + P
e) E + S -> E-S -> E-P -> E + P
e) E + S -> E-S -> E-P -> E + P
True or False: An enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction in the cell, but can only be used once.
False
True or False: An enzyme can only bind one reactant at a time.
False
Parathyroid hormone is released from the _________ glands.
parathyroid
The largest of the three coxal bones is the _________.
ilium
Based on their shape, bones that have a length about equal to their width are classified as _________ bones.
short
The type of cartilage growth in which stem cells at the internal edge of the perichondrium divide, differentiate into chondrocytes, and create new cartilage at the periphery is called _________ growth.
appositional
The xiphoid process is part of the _________.
sternum
Symphyses are slightly mobile joints where the articulating bones contain a pad of _________ between them.
fibrocartilage
A place where a bone contacts another bone is called a joint or a(n) _________.
articulation
During the healing of a bone fracture, the procallus forms dense regular connective tissue and becomes a _________ callus, which lasts for at least three weeks.
