Before filling in your name and PeopleSoft-ID, please check that the color of your scantron sheet matches thecolor of your test. In column J of the scantron sheet blacken the circle corresponding to the color of yourexam: white = 1; blue = 2; pink = 3; yellow = 4. Proceed with the exam, choosing the best answer for eachof the following questions and blackening the proper circle on the answer sheet with a Number 2 pencil.Read each question carefully before marking the best answer on your scantron sheet.Work thoughtfully.Make educated guesses if necessary. Even wild guessing throughout should net you 20% of the total points,on the average.

In a folded protein in a cell, where would you expect to find lysine?Hypotonic; the bag will shrink and shrivel because the water will flow from the bag into the surrounding NaCl solution. Hypertonic; the bag will shrink and shrivel because water will flow from the bag into the surrounding NaCl solution.Hypotonic; the bag will swell and possibly burst because the water will flow into the bag from the NaCl solution.Hypertonic; the bag will swell and possibly burst because the water will flow into the bag from the NaCl solution.There is no way to tell because the system contains two different solutions (glucose and NaCl).a.b.c.d.e.11--XA cellulose bag (which is permeable to only water molecules) contains a 300 M glucose solution. This bag is placed in a 500 mL beaker containing a 150 M solution of NaCl.
