A mutation in the gene coding for a single-polypeptide enzyme results in the substitution of amino acid serine, which has a polar R group, by the amino acid phenylalanine, which has a non polar R group. When researchers test the catalysis of the normal enzyme and the mutated enzyme, they find that the mutated enzyme has much lower activity than the normal enzyme does.

Which of the following most likely explains how the amino acid substitution has resulted in decreased catalytic activist by the mutated enzyme?

The substitution altered the secondary and tertiary structure of the enzyme so that the mutated enzyme folds into a different shape than the normal enzyme does

Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants that grow in areas where the soil contains low levels of key nutrient such as nitrogen. To obtain these nutrients, most pitcher plants capture prey using traps containing a digestive fluid. The captured prey are then broken down and digested, and the pitcher plant absorbs the nutrients.

The traps of one species of pitcher plant, Nepenthes hemsleyana, do not contain digestive fluid. Instead the provide a suitable place for wooly bats (Kerivoula hardwicki) to sleep. The feces from the bat are released into the trap where nutrients in the feces are absorbed and provide the plant with the nitrogen it needs.

Which of the following best describes the relationship between the pitcher plant and the wooly bat?

The relationship is mutualistic because both the plant and the bat benefit

A particular genetic disorder is associated with a single gene with two alleles. Individuals with two recessive alleles are affected. The prevalence of the disorder is 1 in 6,600.

Blood vessels are surrounded by called smooth muscle cells. Nitric oxide triggers a signaling cascade in smooth muscle cells that causes the cells to relax.

Which of the following is represented by the gradual increase in thickness of the arrows from the top to the bottom of Figure 1?

The number of signaling molecules that are produced or activated increases with each step in the pathway

A student peeled the skins from grapes, exposing cells with membranes that are only permeable to water and small diffusible solutes. The student measured the mass of the peeled grapes. The student then placed each peeled grape into one of the solutions. After 24 hours, the student removed the peeled grapes from the solutions, measured their final mass, and calculated the percent change in mass (Table 1)

In a second experiment (Table 2), the student placed a peeled grape into a solution containing both small diffusible solutes and solutes in which the membrane is impermeable (nondiffusible solutes)

Based on Table 1, which of the following best explains the difference in water potential between certain solutions and the grapes?

Grape soda and NaCl have a lower water potential because these two solutions caused the grape to lose water

A student peeled the skins from grapes, exposing cells with membranes that are only permeable to water and small diffusible solutes. The student measured the mass of the peeled grapes.

After 24 hours, the student removed the peeled grapes from the solutions, measured their final mass, and calculated the percent change in mass (Table 1)

In a second experiment (Table 2), the student placed a peeled grape into a solution containing both small diffusible solutes and solutes in which the membrane is impermeable (nondiffusible solutes)

Based on Table 1, which of the following percentages is closest to the solute concentration of the grape?

5.5%

A student peeled the skins from grapes, exposing cells with membranes that are only permeable to water and small diffusible solutes. The student measured the mass of the peeled grapes. The student then placed each peeled grape into one of the solutions. After 24 hours, the student removed the peeled grapes from the solutions, measured their final mass, and calculated the percent change in mass (Table 1)

In a second experiment (Table 2), the student placed a peeled grape into a solution containing both small diffusible solutes and solutes in which the membrane is impermeable (nondiffusible solutes)

Based on the data in Table 1, which of the following best evaluates the student's hypothesis?

The hypothesis is not supported because the mass of the grape increased in the grape juice

A student peeled the skins from grapes, exposing cells with membranes that are only permeable to water and small diffusible solutes. The student measured the mass of the peeled grapes. The student then placed each peeled grape into one of the solutions. After 24 hours, the student removed the peeled grapes from the solutions, measured their final mass, and calculated the percent change in mass (Table 1)

In a second experiment (Table 2), the student placed a peeled grape into a solution containing both small diffusible solutes and solutes in which the membrane is impermeable (nondiffusible solutes)

Assuming a negligible pressure potential, which of the following best predicts the net movement of the small diffusible solutes and water in the second experiment (Table 2)?

Small diffusible solutes will diffuse into the grape soda, followed by water

Mercurial sulfhydryl is an inhibitor or aquaporins. Which of the following is the most likely effect of adding mercurial sulfhydryl to the distilled water molecule?

The grape cells will gain water more slowly because of a lack of facilitated diffusion

Which of the following best explains why larger grapes have a different rate of water absorption per gram of mass than smaller grapes do?

The rate is slower because smaller grapes have a larger surface-area-to-volume ratio than the larger grapes do

Which of the following best explains the mechanism by which alanine inhibits pyruvate kinase activity?

Alanine binds to an allosteric site of the enzyme, changing the shape of the enzyme's active site

Different species of bumblebee compete for flower nectar in their ecosystem. While the flowers vary in the length of their petals, bumblebees vary in the length of a mouth part called a proboscis. Bumblebees demonstrate a preference for flowers that correspond to the length of the proboscis. Species with proboscises of similar length tend to occupy different areas. Species that live in the same area tend to have proboscises of different lengths.

which of the following best explains the relationship between the different bumblebee species living in the same area?

The bumblebees have undergone niche partitioning due to competition

Researchers investigated whether time of day affects the rate at which certain mRNAs produced by plants are broken down. At either 1 hour after the start of the light period (morning) or 8 hours after the start of the light period (afternoon), the researchers treated identical plant seedlings with a compound that blocks transcription (time = 0 min).

Hormones are chemical signals that are released by cells in one part of the body that travel through the bloodstream to signal cells in another part of the body. Insulin is a hormone that is released by the pancreas that induces the uptake of glucose molecules from the bloodstream into cells. In this way, insulin lowers the overall blood glucose levels of the body. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are two types of bone cells that play a role in regulating blood glucose levels (Figure 1).

Binding of insulin to the insulin receptor on osteoblasts activates a signaling pathway that results in osteoblasts releasing a molecule, OPG, that binds to the neighboring osteoclasts. In response, the osteoclasts release protons (H+) and create an area of lower pH outside the cell. This low pH activates osteocalcin, a protein secreted in an inactive form by osteoblasts.

The Esp gene encodes a protein that alters the structure of the insulin receptor on osteoblasts and interferes with the binding of insulin to the receptor. A researcher created a group of osteoblasts with an Esp mutation that prevented the production of a functional Esp product (mutant). The researcher then exposed the mutant strain and a normal strain that expresses Esp to glucose and compared the levels of insulin in the blood near the osteoblasts (Figure 2)

Based on the information provided, which of the following best justifies the claim that osteocalcin is a hormone?

The osteoblasts in the bone secrete osteocalcin in the pancreas to change their activity
