Saturated fats have cis double bonds
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Saturated fats do not have cis double bonds. Saturated fats are composed of single bonds only, which means that all carbon atoms are bonded to hydrogen atoms and there are no double bonds present. The absence of double bonds makes saturated fats solid at room temperature and they are typically found in animal products such as meat and dairy.Rate this question:

One of these is an example of a disaccharides:
- A.
Starch
- B.
Amylose
- C.
Galactose
- D.
Lactose
Correct Answer
D. LactoseExplanation
Lactose is an example of a disaccharide because it is composed of two monosaccharides, glucose and galactose, joined together by a glycosidic bond. Disaccharides are carbohydrates made up of two sugar molecules and are formed through a condensation reaction where a molecule of water is released. Starch and amylose are polysaccharides, which are made up of many monosaccharide units bonded together, while galactose is a monosaccharide, a single sugar molecule. Therefore, lactose is the only option that fits the definition of a disaccharide.Rate this question:

- A.
Hydrogen
- B.
Sulfur
- C.
Nitrogen
- D.
Oxygen
- E.
Two of the above
Correct Answer
B. SulfurExplanation
Sulfur is not a frequent bonding partner of carbon because it has a larger atomic radius and a lower electronegativity compared to carbon. Carbon typically forms covalent bonds with elements that have similar electronegativities, such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. However, sulfur's larger size and lower electronegativity make it less likely to form strong covalent bonds with carbon. Therefore, sulfur is not a frequent bonding partner of carbon.Rate this question:

The structural level of a protein least affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding is the
- A.
Primary level
- B.
Secondary level
- C.
Tertiary level
- D.
Quaternary level
Correct Answer
A. Primary levelExplanation
The primary level of protein structure is least affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding because hydrogen bonds primarily contribute to the stability and folding of secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures. The primary structure refers to the linear sequence of amino acids in a protein, which is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene that codes for the protein. Hydrogen bonding plays a minimal role in maintaining the primary structure, as it is primarily stabilized by covalent peptide bonds between amino acids.Rate this question:

It is a saturated fatty acid.
- B.
A diet rich in this molecule may contribute to atherosclerosis
- C.
Molecules of this type are usually liquid at room temperature
- D.
A and B
- E.
A,B,and C
Correct Answer
D. A and BExplanation
The molecule illustrated in the figure is a saturated fatty acid, which means that it contains only single bonds between carbon atoms. A diet rich in this molecule may contribute to atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in the arteries. This is because saturated fats can increase levels of LDL cholesterol, which is associated with the development of atherosclerosis. However, the statement about the molecule being usually liquid at room temperature is not necessarily true for all saturated fatty acids, as some can be solid at room temperature.Rate this question:

- C.
5'UAACGU3'
- D.
3'UAACGU5'
Correct Answer
B. 3'TAACGT5'Explanation
The correct answer is 3'TAACGT5'. In DNA, the two strands are complementary to each other, meaning that the sequence of bases on one strand determines the sequence on the other strand. Adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). Therefore, the complementary strand to 5'ATTGCA3' would be 3'TAACGT5', as it follows the base pairing rules.Rate this question:

- A.
740 monomers
- B.
740 water molecules
- C.
741 water molecules
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
D. None of the aboveExplanation
The correct answer is None of the above. When a polymer with 741 monomers is broken by hydrolysis, it will result in the formation of 741 monomers and 740 water molecules. Hydrolysis breaks the polymer into its individual monomer units by breaking the covalent bonds between them and adding a water molecule to each bond. Therefore, the number of monomers formed will be the same as the number of monomers in the original polymer, and one less water molecule will be produced.Rate this question:

- A.
Antiparallel
- B.
Bilayer
- C.
α-helix
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. BilayerExplanation
When phospholipids are added to water, they have a unique property that allows them to self-assemble into a double-layered structure. This structure is called a bilayer. The hydrophilic heads of the phospholipids are attracted to the water molecules, while the hydrophobic tails are repelled by water and orient themselves towards each other, forming the inner layer of the bilayer. This arrangement creates a stable structure that is commonly found in cell membranes. Therefore, the correct answer is bilayer.Rate this question:

- A.
Hydrogen bonds
- B.
Hydrophobic interactions
- C.
Nonpolar covalent bonds
- D.
Ionic bonds
Correct Answer
A. Hydrogen bondsExplanation
Hydrogen bonds are responsible for stabilizing the alpha helix and beta pleated sheet structures of proteins. These bonds form between the hydrogen atom of one amino acid and the oxygen or nitrogen atom of another amino acid. The hydrogen bond creates a strong electrostatic attraction, which helps to hold the secondary structures of proteins in place. This allows the protein to maintain its three-dimensional shape and function properly. Hydrophobic interactions, nonpolar covalent bonds, and ionic bonds do not play a significant role in stabilizing these structures.Rate this question:

The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6. What would be the molecular formula for a polymer made by linking ten glucose molecules together by dehydration reactions?
- A.
C60H111O51
- B.
C60H120O60
- C.
C60H100O50
- D.
C60H102O51
Correct Answer
D. C60H102O51Explanation
When ten glucose molecules are linked together by dehydration reactions, a water molecule is eliminated for each linkage. Since there are 10 linkages, 10 water molecules are eliminated. The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6, so for 10 glucose molecules, the total number of carbon atoms would be 6 x 10 = 60, the total number of hydrogen atoms would be 12 x 10 = 120, and the total number of oxygen atoms would be 6 x 10 = 60. However, since 10 water molecules are eliminated, the total number of oxygen atoms would be reduced by 10, resulting in C60H102O51.Rate this question:

- C.
Tetrahedral shape with 105.9 bond angles
- D.
Two of the above
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Tetrahedral shape with 109.5 bond anglesExplanation
When a carbon forms 4 single bonds, it adopts a tetrahedral shape with bond angles of 109.5 degrees. This is because the carbon atom has 4 valence electrons and it wants to minimize repulsion between these electrons. The tetrahedral shape allows the bonds to be as far apart as possible, resulting in the optimal bond angle of 109.5 degrees. This arrangement is commonly observed in molecules such as methane (CH4) where the carbon atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms.Rate this question:

- E.
secretory vesicle
Correct Answer
A. CentrosomesExplanation
Centrosomes are required for the formation of cilia and flagella in cells. Cilia and flagella are hair-like structures that extend from the surface of cells and are involved in various cellular processes such as movement and sensory perception. Centrosomes play a crucial role in organizing the microtubules that make up the structure of cilia and flagella. They serve as a microtubule organizing center and help in the assembly and positioning of microtubules, which are essential for the formation and function of cilia and flagella.Rate this question:

microtubules
- B.
Microfilaments
- C.
Intermediate filaments
- D.
All of the Above
- E.
B+C
Correct Answer
B. MicrofilamentsExplanation
Microfilaments are built from actin. Actin is a protein that forms long, thin fibers, which are known as microfilaments. These microfilaments play a crucial role in cell structure and movement. They are involved in various cellular processes such as cell division, cell signaling, and cell migration. Microtubules, on the other hand, are built from tubulin protein, while intermediate filaments are built from various types of proteins depending on the cell type. Therefore, the correct answer is Microfilaments.Rate this question:

What do the cell walls of plants and the extracellular matrix of animal cells have in common?
- A.
They are largely composed of phospholipids and glycoproteins
- B.
Their proteins are made by free cytoplasmic reticulum
- C.
They form rigid structure that provide structural support for cells but limit their expansion
- D.
They limit the passage of small molecule
- E.
They have functional connections with Cytoskeleton inside the cell.
Correct Answer
E. They have functional connections with Cytoskeleton inside the cell.Explanation
The cell walls of plants and the extracellular matrix of animal cells have functional connections with the cytoskeleton inside the cell. This means that both structures interact with the cytoskeleton, which provides support and stability to the cell. The cytoskeleton helps maintain the shape of the cell and allows for cellular movement and communication. This functional connection is important for the overall structure and function of both plant cell walls and animal extracellular matrix.Rate this question:
