Read each question carefully. Write your response in the space provided for each part of each question. Answers must be written out in paragraph form. Outlines, bulleted lists, or diagrams alone are not acceptable and will not be scored.

Enolase is an enzyme that catalyzes one reaction in glycolysis in all organisms that carry out this process. The amino acid sequence of enolase is similar but not identical in the organisms. Researchers purified enolase from  Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a single-celled eukaryotic yeast that grows best at  37°C, and from  Chloroflexus  aurantiacus, a bacterium that grows best at the much higher temperature of  55°C. The researchers compared the activity of purified enolase from the two organisms by measuring the rate of the reaction in the presence of varying concentrations of substrate and a constant amount of each enzyme at both  37°C and  55°C.

(a) Depending on the organism, the optimal  pH for enolase to catalyze its reaction is between  6.5 and  8.0.  Describe how a  pH below or above this range is likely to affect enolase and its catalytic ability.

(b)  Identify the appropriate negative control the researchers most likely used when measuring the reaction rate in the presence of each organism’s enolase.

(c) The researchers predict that for any particular concentration of substrate, the  C. aurantiacus enolase-catalyzed reaction is more rapid at  55°C than at  37°C. Provide reasoning to  justify the researchers’ prediction.

Give and explain one example of each of the following types of evidence supporting evolution:
Molecular (biochemical) evidence

Anatomical evidence

Embryological evidence

Biogeographical evidence

Fossil evidence

Explain the physiological mechanism of diffusion of oxygen, how could you measure the diffusing capacity of the patient, how it might be affected by the disease, and which conditions from the vital signs may be affecting even more the already impaired mechanism of diffusion  

Haemoglobin is an amazing molecule, as it allows vertebrates to transport gases from the environment to the tissues. To boot, blood changes its oxygen-binding characteristics in response to the animal’s external AND internal environment. How does this happen? What are the advantages of this “shape-shifting” ability? How does O2 affinity of Hb compare between mammals adapted to hypoxia and those in normoxia? How does it compare between sedentary and athletic species? Explain why. Some Antarctic fish lack haemoglobin completely. Their blood is composed of plasma and a few white blood cells. How are these fishes able to survive and succeed in their environment? Explain.

A) The formation of DNA from individual nucleotides is best described as:

1. a process that will have a net yield of energy.

2. a process that will have no effect on disorder in the universe.

3. an anabolic reaction.

4. a catabolic reaction.

5. a spontaneous reaction

B)In a C4 plant where does the Calvin cycle predominantly take place?

1. in the vascular tissue.

2. in every cell in the plant.

3. in the bundle sheath cells of leaves.

4. in the mesophyll cells or leaves.

5 in the roots.

C)The formation of a polysaccharide from monosaccharides is best described as:

1. a process that will have a net yield of energy.

2. a process that will not increase disorder in the universe.

D) Chloroplast ATP synthase is present in which membrane?

1. the thylakoid membrane.

2. the mitochondrial inner membrane.

3. the chloroplast outer membrane.

4. the mitochondrial outer membrane.

5. the cristae

3. an anabolic reaction.

4. a catabolic reaction.

5. a spontaneous reaction.

In class we reviewed that effective selection of resources has implications BEYOND an individual organism’s immediate survival. What does this mean?

Describe the historical pattern of growth of the worldwide human population since our origin. Include in this historic overview the changes that have happened technologically, medically, culturally and nutritionally to result in major population changes over time. Relate the growth of the human population to our ecological footprint and explain the idea of limits to population growth known as the carrying capacity. Relative to carrying capacity, what may result from unbridled continued growth of our population? How does the size of the human population contribute to environmental degradation? Why must we take the human population size into account when we attempt to develop environmental restoration projects?

Explain the different types of secondary metabolites, listing the major chemical group types and some examples of their roles

Explain, using examples, why secondary compounds are important to plant long-term survival even if they are not involved in primary metabolic processes.

Discuss, using detailed examples, whether plants are really ‘helpless sessile organisms’... or not?

Explain the detailed steps and components of the process of plant responses to a viral, bacterial or fungal pathogen involving the hypersensitive response and that leads to SAR

discuss the consequences of the failure of a former clot to dissolve

Question 1a:

How many sigma factors have been identified to be active in the sporulation of B. subtilis? What is each function?

Question 1b:

What is the Lytic Cycle and the Lysogenic cycle? Is it possible to enter the lytic cycle once a phage is in the lysogenic cycle?

Question 1c:

Explain the competition between the Cro repressor and the lambda repressor?

1. True/False: Individuals with mutations in the genes encoding the IL-12p40 subunit (shared by IL-12 and IL-23) are susceptible to not only pathogens such as M. tuberculosis that require a Th1 response, but type 3 (Th17) responses are also affected.
