Which of the following binds to the active site of an enzyme?
water
ATP
substrate
another enzyme

In oxidative phosphorylation, what is the most direct source of energy that is used to convert ADP + Pi to ATP?
energy released as electrons flow through the electron transport system.
energy released from substrate-level phosphorylation.
energy released from ATP synthase pumping hydrogen ions against their concentration gradient.
energy released from the movement of protons (H+) through ATP synthase.
No external source of energy is required because the reaction is exergonic.

red and yellow
blue and violet
green and yellow
blue, green, violet and red
Which of the following statements is true concerning the figure?
It represents cell processes to minimize photorespiration
It represents an adaptation to cellular respiraiton
It is an aerobic pathway that mimics photosynthesis
It represents the type of cell structures found in CAM plants
CAM plants keep stomata closed in daytime, thus reducing loss of water. They can do this because they
fix CO2 into organic acids during the night.
fix CO2 into organic acids in bundle-sheath cells.
fix CO2 into pyruvate in the mesophyll cells.
use photosystems at night
In which compartment of the plant cell do the light- independent reactions of photosynthesis take place?
thylakoid
stroma
outer membrane
mesophyll
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria. They accomplish photosynthesis is nearly the same way as algae and plants but without
chloroplasts
chlorophyll
water
CO2
The enzyme creatine phosphokinase is known to directly participate in the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. High levels of ADP would most likely
increase the activity of the enzyme
decrease the activity of the enzyme
over stimulate the enzyme's active site causing denaturation
act as an allosteric inhibitor
What do the electrons added to NAD+ do?
They become part of a fermentation pathway.
They go to another pathway for ATP production.
They energize the entry of the acetyl group into
the citric acid cycle.
They are converted to NADP.
An allosteric inhibitor does which of the following?
Binds to an enzyme away from the active site and changes the conformation of the active site, increasing its affinity for substrate binding
Binds to the active site and blocks it from binding substrate
Binds to an enzyme away from the active site and changes the conformation of the active site, decreasing its affinity for the substrate
Binds directly to the active site and mimics the substrate
