Cell Biology Weekly Quiz 4

Which of the following features are found in a molecule of ADP?

Proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix trap water to form a gelatinous matrix.

Whit is it NOT feasible for silicon to be the fundamental atom in large biological molecules?

Which of the following pairs shares a similar function? (Pick best similarity)

Which of the following can be a component of the extracellular matrix?

Every protein in the cell is fully activated as soon as it has reached its tertiary, or sometimes quaternary, structure.

You would expect that a newly discovered caspase (called Caspase-99) would be an integral membrane protein.

Proteins involved in apoptotic paths in C. elegans are called "ced" proteins.

In which situation does apoptosis occur?

Glycogen is hydrolyzed to form glucose monomers via endergonic reactions. These reactions have a positive delta G

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide becomes reduced when it...

ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) contains ribose sugar, two phosphate groups, and adenine.
Cholesterol is a lipid that maintains membrane fluidity but is not present in ADP.

Proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix trap water, creating a gelatinous matrix that provides structural support.
Components of the extracellular matrix may include collagen, elastin, and fibronectin.

Silicon is not feasible as a fundamental atom in large biological molecules due to its limited ability to form complex, stable structures compared to carbon.

Proteins achieve full activation typically upon reaching tertiary or quaternary structure, although not all proteins may require this for functionality.
Newly discovered proteins, such as Caspase-99, are expected to have specific functions and structural characteristics.

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, occurs in various conditions such as when cells are damaged, diseased, or no longer needed.
In C. elegans, proteins involved in apoptosis are designated as "ced" proteins.

Glycogen hydrolysis converts glycogen into glucose monomers, a process generally associated with exergonic reactions, not endergonic, due to the release of energy.
