A 65.0 mL solution of 0.118 M potassium alaninate (H2NC2H5CO2K) is titrated with 0.118 M HCl. The pKa values for the amino acid alanine are 2.344 (pKa1) and 9.868 (pKa2), which correspond to the carboxylic acid and amino groups, respectively.
a) Calculate the pH at the first equivalence point.
b) Calculate the pH at the second equivalence point.

A protein with a wild-type allele (Pwt) and protein with a mutant allele (Pm) are one amino acid in the position 12 of the protein chain. The mutant allele's sequence is 5'CTT whereras the wild-type allele's sequence is 5'CAT.
Using an amino acid chart, find :
Pwt in position #12
Pm in position #12

Multiple choice: All of the following describe the properties of water except:
A) it is cohesive and therefore, pours easily.
B) it has a high specific heat and so it takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of water.
C) when water is heated, the heat spreads easily throughout the body of water.
D) it vaporizes at a low temperature, meaning that it only requires a minimal amount of energy to cause a lot of water to evaporate.
Choose the FALSE statement:
A) Carbon, oxygen and nitrogen are common elements in the molecules making up your body because of their ability to form multiple covalent bonds.
B) On the pH scale of 0-14, a pH less than 7 is considered basic and a pH greater than 7 is acidic.
C) If a phospholipid bilayer were placed in a non-polar environment the orientation of the molecules making up this membrane would be the reverse of the water-borne arrangement.
Choose the FALSE statement:
A) Protein molecules are always composed of a single strand or chain of amino acids folded into a random shape.
B) When ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP, the energy released is used to perform work; the products of this hydrolysis will be recycled back to ATP through the digestion of foodstuffs.
C) In the absence of enzymes, the reactions of the cell occur
too slowly to support the needs of the cell.
