The affinity of adult hemoglobin and fetal hemoglobin differ with respect to oxygen and 2, 3-BPG. Which of the following correctly describes fetal and adult hemoglobin?
Fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for O2 than adult hemoglobin at the same partial pressure of O2.
Which of the following sets of amino acids, read 1, 2, 3 from left to right contains amino acids that are classified as: 1) basic; 2) aromatic; and 3) aliphatic, branched
Lysine; Tryptophan; Leucine
In methemoglobin, the central iron of the heme ring is in the 3+ oxidation state and there is CO2 bound to it
False
One reason that mutations in DNA sequence might not lead to a difference in amino acid sequence, is that some amino acids can be coded by more than one codon, and so a change in codon sequence may not result in a change of amino acid sequence
True
Select the true statement regarding occurrences in capillaries surrounding metabolically active tissues (red blood cells = RBCs):
Cl- will be transported into RBCs.
Some carbohydrates are macromolecules that can act as a fuel source, and others can provide structure to an organism.
True
Covalent bond energy is equal to amount of energy released when a covalent bond is broken.
False
Select the correct statement, considering eukaryotic processes.
The genetic information in DNA is converted into RNA by transcription.
Which of the following is not a weak intermolecular interaction found in biological systems:
Disulfide bond
Which of the following is the major driving force in protein folding?
The entropic effect of water
Change in O2 affinity in hemoglobin is due to cooperativity, and results from allosteric changes in a monomer upon O2 binding that affects the tetramer as a whole.
True
The presence of thymine in DNA rather than cytosine is one reason that DNA is more stable over time than RNA. True False
False
Choose the true statement:
Denaturing a protein disrupts its native conformation.
Choose the true statement:
Amyloid can form when proteins misfold resulting in abnormal beta-sheet formation that encourages fibrillar organization.
Choose the true statement:
Arginine is a conservative substitution for glutamine.
You are walking to class - which of these reactions would predominate in RBCs in the capillaries in your muscles?

Please select the true statement:
Hemoglobin in the tense state has a lower affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin in the relaxed state.
Proline does not have chiral stereochemistry at the alpha carbon, because it is an imino acid.
False
Please identify the TRUE statement regarding water:
Water is permanent dipole with partial charges at the oxygen and each of the hydrogen atoms
Select the TRUE answer regarding peptides.

tRNA is an adapter RNA that covalently binds to amino acids and hydrogen bonds with codons in the RNA template
True
If the molar concentration of a product increases relative to molar concentration of the starting reactants, this will have what effect on the free energy of the reaction?

True
Catabolic pathways are largely divergent, oxidizing and exergonic overall.
True
