False - ANS-Histone proteins have a large number of negatively charged amino acids in their
sequence
True - ANS-The nucleolus is where many of the genes for rRNA are located
False - ANS-Decreasing the percentage of unsaturated fatty acids in a biological membrane will
increase its fluidity
False - ANS-Mutations in the DNA of an organism are kept to a small rate of occurrence by the
5' to 3' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase
True - ANS-Both the concentration gradient and the membrane potential affect the passive
transport of charged solutes

False - ANS-Glycolysis cannot occur in the absence of oxygen
False - ANS-The set of metabolic reactions in cells that help synthesize all the cellular
components are called catabolism
False - ANS-In prokaryotes the electron transport chain involves the mitochondrial membrane

, True - ANS-During glycolysis there is a net production of 2 ATPs
False - ANS-All proteins embedded int he cell membrane are free to diffuse within the plane of
the plasma membrane

conformation
False - ANS-The trans face of the Golgi apparatus is closest to the nucleus
True - ANS-Endocrine signaling molecules travel in the blood stream to their target organs
False - ANS-When activated by binding of a signal molecule to a GPCR, the associated
G-protein exchanges the bound GTP for GDP
False - ANS-Phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylate inactivates it
False - ANS-The Calvin cycle creates ATP and NADPH for use by the cell
True - ANS-Steroid hormones bind to receptors in the cytosol or nucleus of target cells

True - ANS-During photosynthetic electron transport the pH in the thylakoid lumen decreases
True - ANS-The enzyme responsible for all the biomass on Earth is ribulose bis-phosphate
carboxylase (rubisco)
True - ANS-Most enzyme-linked receptors have turned out to be tryosine kinases
False - ANS-Green plants have only chlorophyll as the photosynthetic pigment in their leaves
False - ANS-Actin filaments are made of various kinds of proteins
Golgi Apparatus - ANS-The organelle where carbohydrates and lipids are added to proteins
before they are secreted is the
nucleus - ANS-By definition, prokaryotic cells do not possess
