Question

A sequence of nucleotides that codes for a single protein is known as a __________.

Chromosome

Gene

Codon

Genome
Question 2 (1 point)Save Question 2Save
Which is INCORRECT regarding ligand:protein binding reactions?

Allosteric modulation of the protein's functional binding site occurs directly at the functional binding site itself

Allosteric modulation can alter the affinity of the protein for the ligand

Phosphorylation of the protein is an example of covalent modulation.

If two ligands can each bind to the binding site of the protein (not at the same time), competition for the binding site will occur

Which of the following is NOT characteristic of intracellular receptors?

They are located on the extracellular surface of the cell membrane.

They interact with lipid-soluble messengers.

They typically alter gene transcription.

All of the above are characteristic of intracellular receptors.

Receptor X responds to messenger A. Extended exposure of X to very high concentrations of A can lead to a decrease in the # of X, thus reducing the sensitivity to A. This is an example of _________?

Cooperativity

Competitive Antagonism

Down-regulation

Up-regulation

Which of the following is NOT true regarding glycolysis?

It occurs in the mitochondria.

It does not require oxygen.

Glycolytic breakdown of 1 molecule of glucose to 2 molecules of pyruvate results in a net yield of 2 ATP

Pyruvate, the product of glycolysis, will enter the Kreb's cycle of oxygen is present, or will be converted to lactate in the absence of oxygen.

State of the ion channel (opened or closed).

Degree of saturation of the binding site between the channels and the ions.
