Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
l. Most of the metabolic energy produced in cells is made in the mitochondria.
a. True
b. False
2. An increase in the concentration of a substrate will increase the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
a. True
b. False
3. Polysomes function to transcribe mRNA into proteins.
a. True
b. False
4. If two enzymes (e.g., pyruvate dehydrogenase and pyruvate carboxylase) compete for the same substrate (pyruvate), the
one with the higher Km has less affinity and will be more active when pyruvate concentrations are high.
a. True
b. False
5. Transcription of DNA cannot be altered.
a. True
b. False
6. The nuclear envelope is a single membrane structure that helps to isolate the nucleus from the rest of the cell.
a. True
b. False
7. The lipid bilayer determines the function of the plasma membrane, while the proteins are primarily responsible for the
structure of the membrane.
a. True
b. False
8. When discussing enzyme kinetics, Km refers to the substrate concentration at which the enzyme is saturated and
functioning at maximal velocity.
a. True
b. False
9. Peripheral proteins are involved in cell-cell recognition, whereas integral proteins function primarily as
receptors/transporters.
a. True
b. False
,10. The various components within a cell ( e.g., mitochondria) are not "free-floating" in the cytosol, but rather, are held in
place by the cytoskeleton.
a. True
b. False

l l. Different cells express different proteins because they contain different sequences of DNA in the nucleus.
a. True
b. False
12. Oncosis results from cell injury and is associated with cellular swelling and swelling of the mitochondrial nucleus.
a. True
b. False
13. Allosteric regulation of enzymes is carried out by modulators, other proteins that bind to the enzyme to inhibit its
activity.
a. True
b. False
14. Most cellular reactions are irreversible because the same enzyme that catalyzes the conversion cannot catalyze the
reverse reaction.
a. True
b. False
15. The plasma membrane is a sheet-like structure composed solely of lipids.
a. True
b. False
Indicate the answer choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
