8) Prokaryotes are valuable tools for biochemists because
A) E. coli is well-studied and typical of prokaryotes.
B) they contain as many genes as eukaryotic cells.
C) many of their chromosomes are sequenced.
D) they are not very diverse organisms.
E) All of the above

Answer: C
Page Ref: Section 6

9) Which cellular component carries out oxidation reactions, some of which produce hydrogen
peroxide?

A) peroxisomes
B) mitochondria
C) chloroplasts
D) lysosomes
E) vacuoles

Answer: A
Page Ref: Section 8

10) Why is it important that the enzymes in lysosomes are more active at acidic pH than at neutral
pH?
A) Since lysosomes are primarily found in the stomach acid of mammals, their pH
dependence allows for maximum efficiency for the digestion of foodstuffs.
B) It prevents their diffusion out of the lysosomes.
C) It maximizes the interaction with their substrates which are always bases.
D) It prevents them from accidentally degrading the macromolecules in the cytosol.
E) It allows for regulation of their uptake by the mitochondria.

Answer: D
Page Ref: Section 8

11) Molecules from living cells cannot be synthesized outside of living cells.

Answer: FALSE
Page Ref: Section 1

12) Fermentation in the absence of cells demonstrated that metabolic processes were chemical in
nature.

Answer: TRUE
