  1. Your friend purified human pepsin (a digestive enzyme active in the stomach) in the lab. In a test tube with distilled water he placed the substrate (a protein that should be broken down by pepsin) and left it at room temperature for several hours. The substrate was not broken down by the enzyme. Remembering your BIO311 lecture, you suggest to him to do what with his solution? A) Increase the temperature and the pH B) Decrease the temperature and the pH C) Decrease the pH and increase the temperature D) Increase the pH and decrease the temperature E) None of the above
  2. As discovered by Calvin, when algal cells are exposed to radioactive carbon dioxide in the light for only 1 second, the FIRST STABLE compound that is most quickly and most extensively labeled with radioactive C is: A) A 6 carbon compound B) Fructose 6 phosphate C) 3 Phosphoglycerate D) Plastocyanin E) RUBISCO
  3. Phosphofructokinase is an allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fructose- 6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, an early step of glycolysis. In the presence of oxygen, an increase in the amount ATP in a cell would be expected to A) inhibit the enzyme and thus slow the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. B) activate the enzyme and thus slow the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. C) inhibit the enzyme and thus increase the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. D) activate the enzyme and increase the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. E) inhibit the enzyme and thus increase the rate of glycolysis and the concentration of citrate.
