Ap Bio Unit 3 MCQ study guide

Which of the following statements best helps explain how the lead ion causes inhibition of ALAD?

It changes the 3-D structure of the active site so that ALAD is no longer compatible with substrate.

Which of the following statements correctly explains the observed effect of the acetylcholine concentration on the rate of the enzyme catalyzed reaction?

The active site of AChE is specific for acetylcholine, and only one substrate molecule can occupy the active site at a time.

Based on the model, which of the following statements best explains an enzymes specificity for a particular substrate molecule?

A molecule with negative charges interacts with positively charged side chains in the enzymes active site.

Which of the following best describes the contents expected to be contained in one of the five control test tubes?

PH 4 buffer solution and hydrogen peroxide only.

Which test tubes are controls in the experiment?

Test tubes 1,3,5,7

Which of the following statements best helps justify the inclusion of group 2 as one of the controls in the experiment?

It will show whether the changes observed in group one depend on the metabolic activity of soil bacteria.

Which of the following statements best helps justify the inclusion of test tube 5 in the experiment?

It will act as a control for test tube 6 by showing the effect of the presence or absence of the enzyme.

Based on the results of the experiment, which of the following statements best predicts the effect of urea on the enzymes function?

Function will be disrupted by adding the urea and regained by removing the urea.

Which of the following best predicts the immediate result of adding more substrate to the reaction mixture at the point indicated by the arrow in figure 1?

The amount of product will increase until the reaction reaches equilibrium point or until the substrate is used up by the reaction.

Based on the data scientist claim that the reproductive behavior of European flycatchers is influenced by the availability of energy sources. Which of the following statements best justifies this claim?

Young European flycatchers hatch from eggs when caterpillar biomass is available for the young birds to consume and convert into energy for growth.

A researcher claims that the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic molecules during photosynthesis does not violate the second law of thermodynamics. Which of the following statements best helps justify the researchers claim?

The total system that includes photosynthetic organisms and the sun becomes less ordered overtime.

Which of the following statements provides reasoning that supports the claim that brown fatty tissue keeps an animal warm?

The uncoupling protein in this tissue reduces the proton gradient across the membrane in this produces heat to warm the animal without ATP production.

A researcher claims that spinach leaves capture the most energy from light waves in the range of 500 nm to 600 nm. Which of the following graphs best represents data from the experiment that will support the researchers claim?

B) upside down U with peaks at 500-600

A researcher claims that the initial rise of oxygen in earths early atmosphere resulted from the metabolic activity of prokaryotic organisms. Which of the following types of evidence will best support the researchers claim?

Evidence that the Cyanobacteria produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

A researcher claims that a certain herbicide suppresses plant growth by inhibiting chloroplast function. Which of the following statements best clarifies how the data supports the researchers claim?

ATP synthase activity depends on a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane.

Bacteria that contain plasmids are resistant to a wider range of antibiotics and are bacteria that contain no plasmids. Which of the following statements best establishes a connection between the observation and the researchers claim?

Some plasmids contain antibiotic resistant genes.

A researcher claims that the phycobiliprotein Pigments in cyanobacteria allow the cyanobacteria to survive in certain aquatic niches better than green algae can. Which of the following statements best justifies the researchers claim?

The additional pigments absorb light at wavelengths that green algae cannot absorb; this may allow cyanobacteria to capture more light energy for photosynthesis than green algae can in certain areas.

A researcher claims that budding used are able to survive in different environments because they produce enzymes that allow them to use different molecules as sources of matter and energy. Which of the following statements best helps justify the researchers claim by providing a relevant example?

Yeast cells produce INVERTASE, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of the disaccharide sucrose into glucose and fructose.

Based on figure 1, which of the following statements best predicts the effect that a change from a moderately acidic environment, PH near 6, to a basic environment will have on peroxidase activity?

Peroxidase activity will decrease.

Which of the following actions will provide a negative control for the investigation?

Repeating the experiment using heat-denatured peroxidase.

One of the researchers proposes using oxygen gas production to measure reaction rates. Which of the following statements best justifies the use of the proposed modification as a way of creating an appropriate control for the investigation?

The experiment can be repeated with guaiacol, which will reveal the effect of guaiacol on the reaction rates.
