2. An open system is one
(a) that exchanges neither matter nor energy with its surroundings plasma
membrane
(b) that exchanges energy but not matter with its surroundings.
(c) that exchanges both matter and energy with its surroundings.
(d) that exchanges matter but not energy with its surroundings.

3. Which of the following is true about carbon bonding?
(a) Carbon-carbon double bonds have freedom of rotation.
(b) Carbon atoms can form covalent bonds with up to four other
atoms.
(c) Carbon can form double bonds with hydrogen.
(d) Carbon-carbon single bonds cannot rotate.


4.

Which of the following is true about the two molecules shown above?
(a) They are the isomers formed due to freedom of rotation about C=C
double bond.
(b) The carbon double bonds in each are chiral centers.
(c) They are the isomers formed due to rigidity of C=C double bond.
(d) They can be interconverted without breaking any covalent bonds.

5. . Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells possess which of the following?
(a) Chloroplast
(b) a nuclear envelope
(c) mitochondria
(d) a plasma membrane

,6. If the free energy change DG for a reaction is -46.11 kJ/mol, the reaction
is:
(a) at equilibrium.
(b) endergonic.
(c) endothermic.
(d) exergonic.
(e) exothermic.

7. Exergonic and endergonic reactions differ in that
(a) exergonic reactions have a positive free energy change (D G is
positive) and endergonic reactions have a negative free energy
change (D G is negative).
(b) exergonic reactions require an input of energy and endergonic
reactions release free energy.
(c) exergonic reactions have a negative free energy change (D G is
negative) and endergonic reactions have a positive free energy
change (D G is positive).
(d) exergonic reactions consume more free energy than is released and
endergonic reactions release more free energy than is consumed.

8. Which of the following is true about stereoisomers?
(a) They have different configurations.
(b) They are indistinguishable by enzymes.
(c) The have different chemical bonds.
(d) They exist in equal amounts in living organisms.

9. Under what conditions is a carbon atom a chiral center?
(a) if it has no stereoisomers
(b) if it has only two different substituent groups
(c) if it is symmetric
(d) if it has four different substituent groups

10. Which of the following is true about hydrogen bonds?
(a) Hydrogen bonds are longer and stronger than covalent bonds.
(b) The geometry of a water molecule results in the equal sharing of
electrons between the hydrogen and oxygen.
(c) Hydrogen bonds must involve at least one water molecule.
(d) Polar molecules are soluble in water because they can form
hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

,11. What is the concentration of H+ in a pH 0 solution of acid?
(a) 0 M
(b) 1 M
(c) 1 X 10-7 M

13. A buffer system consists of
(a) a weak acid and its conjugate base.

(c) Tendency of hydrophobic groups to avoid water
(d) None of the above

18. Which of the following is true about pK:
(a) pK is the pH at which an acid or base is half dissociated
(b) pK is the pH at which a conjugate acid-base pair system exhibits
maximum buffering capacity
(c) All of the above
(d) None of the above

19. The relationship between pK and strength of an acid is:
(a) Higher the pK, stronger the acid
(b) Higher the pK, weaker the acid
(c) Lower the pK, weaker the acid
(d) pK is not correlated to strength of an acid
