b. False
3. Polysomes function to transcribe mRNA into proteins. o o o o o o
a. True
b. False
4. If two enzymes (e.g., pyruvate dehydrogenase and pyruvate carboxylase) compete for the same substrate (pyruvate), the one
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
with the higher Km has less affinity and will be more active when pyruvate concentrations are high.
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
a. True
b. False
7. The lipid bilayer determines the function of the plasma membrane, while the proteins are primarily responsible for the
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
structure of the membrane.
o o o o
a. True
b. False
8. When discussing enzyme kinetics, Km refers to the substrate concentration at which the enzyme is saturated and
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
functioning at maximal velocity.
o o o o
a. True
b. False
9. Peripheral proteins are involved in cell-cell recognition, whereas integral proteins function primarily as
o o o o o o o o o o o o
receptors/transporters.
o
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
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
by the cytoskeleton.
o o o
a. True
b. False

11. Different cells express different proteins because they contain different sequences of DNA in the nucleus.
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
activity.
o

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
reverse reaction.
o o
