Questions and Answers
1. All of the carbon backbones from amino acids end up as intermediates in
the . ANS citric acid cycle
2. When 2-butene reacts completely with bromine, the product is ANS 2,3-
dibro-mobutane.
3. Amino acids that can be synthesized in the body are called amino
acids. ANS nonessential
4. Which conversion is accomplished during glycolysis? ANS glucose to
pyruvate
,5. Every turn of the citric acid cycle directly produces molecule(s)
of ATP. ANS one
6. The process of converting ADP to ATP in the mitochondrion takes place by
a process known as ANS oxidative phosphorylation.
7. Which family of organic molecules is a hydrocarbon? ANS aromatic
8. All of the following can be classified as biomolecules except ANS all of
them arebiomolecules
9. A genetic map is a(an) ANS list of locations of markers that relate to
inheritabletraits.
10. Which type of amine will react with mineral acids to form soluble ammoni-
um salts? ANS A,B, and C
, 11. Which amino acid is classified as neutral and non-polar? ANS
phenylanaine
12. In an individual who is starving or fasting, the body meets its need
for glucose first by the process of , and then by the process of
. ANS glycogenolysis; gluconeogenesis
13. The pathway followed by glucose when energy is needed is ANS glycolysis.
14. The alcohol functional group has ANS a carbon-oxygen-hydrogen group.
15. The commonly accepted mechanism for explaining alkene reactions in-
volves formation of ANS carbocations
16. Lemon juice can be used to remove the odor of fish on a person's hands
after cleaning fish. The chemical explanation for this is that the ANS acid in
the lemon juice reacts with the odor-causing amines to form an odorless salt.
