Plot on the same energy diagram having the vacuum as zero:
(A) the absolute electrochemical potentials, under standard conditions, of the following reactions: (i) H+/H2, (ii) O2/H2O (pH = 1). What is the spontaneous direction of reactions (i) and (ii) if reaction (i) occurs by electron exchange with the conduction band while reaction (ii) occurs by electron exchange with the valence band? Under such conditions, which of the two semiconductors can achieve water splitting (2H2O ® 2H2 + O2)?
(B) The position of the band gaps of the compound semiconductors SrTiO3 and Fe2O3
SrTiO3: band gap is 3.2 eV, conduction band edge = -3.8 eV,
valence band edge = -
6.9 eV. Fe2O3: band gap is 2.2 eV, conduction band edge = -4.8 eV,
valence band edge =
-6.9.

Diets that severely restrict carbohydrate intake often result in ketosis for the dieter.
Explain why this occurs by selecting the correct answer.
A. When carbohydrates are restricted, the body metabolizes fats for energy, resulting in a quantity of acetyl-CoA that can't be metabolized in the citric acid cycle due to the reduced quantity of acetate, which is used in gluconeogenesis, The body, instead, uses ketosis for energy, and ketogenesis results. |
B. When carbohydrates are restricted, the body metabolizes fats for energy, resulting in a quantity of acetyl- CoA that can't be metabolized in the citric acid cycle due to the reduced quantity of oxaloacetate, which is used in gluconeogenesis, The body, instead, uses ketogenesis for energy, and ketosis results. |
C. When carbohydrates are restricted, the body metabolizes proteins for energy, resulting in a quantity of acetyl-SCoA that can't be metabolized in the citric acid cycle due to the reduced quantity of oxaloacetate, which is used in gluconeogenesis, The body, instead, uses ketogenesis for energy, and ketosis results. |

When he received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in
1960, Willard Libby gave a lecture about radioactive dating to the
king of Sweden and assembled guests in Stockholm.
a) It was suspected that cosmic rays from space hit the
Earth. What evidence confirmed this hypothesis?
b) What did Libby have to assume to reach the
conclusion that the expected specific radioactivity of living
matter would be 2.0/8.5 disintegrations per second per gram of C?
What evidence was there to confirm his conclusion?
c) Libby concluded that we humans are in steady
state with respect to our own concentrations of carbon-14 while
alive but not after death. How did he justify this
conclusion?
d) On what basis did Libby conclude that humans are
radioactive? What evidence did he collect to test his
conclusion?

Why does the primary structure impact all levels of protein structure? What is unique about the peptide bond that directly impacts protein structure? What intermolecular forces stabilize protein structure? Consider protein denaturation, what environmental forces can cause a protein to lose its structure? What types of interactions are they disrupting? Many proteins require chaperones to properly fold. How do chaperones help proteins fold? What potential problems might arise from a misfolded protein?
