Bio 311C Final QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A+ GRADED A suspension of algae is incubated in a flask in the presence of both light and CO2. When it is transferred to the dark, the reduction of 3-phosphoglycerate (3PG) to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) is blocked, and the concentration of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) declines. Why does the RuBP concentration decline? A) RuBP is synthesized from G3P. B) G3P is converted to glucose. C) RuBP is used to fix CO2. D) Both a and b E) Both a an...

BIO 311C ICAS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A+ GRADED 1) Which of the following in an anabolic process that is endergonic and endothermic? A) ATP + H 2 O à ADP + Pi B) C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 à 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O C) CO 2 + H 2 O à CH 2 O + O 2 D) FADH 2 à FAD + H 2 E) CH 4 + 2O 2 à CO 2 + 2H 2 O C) CO₂ + H₂O → CH₂O + O₂ This is an anabolic process (building complex molecules from simpler ones) that is also endergonic (requires an input of energy) and endothermic (absorbs heat). ...

Bio 311C QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A+ GRADED Model Systems Also known as model organisms, these include the small group of species that are the subject of extensive research. They are organisms that adapt well to laboratory situations and findings from experiments on them can apply across a broad range of species. Classic examples include white rats and the fruit fly Drosophila. Holism a study that considers the whole person Reductionism the reduction of complex systems to simpler componen...
