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 = A; blue = B; pink = C; yellow = D. 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.

A genetic mutation in this enzyme causes a condition known as Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Disease, typified by general weakness and acidosis among other problems. Why does this disease cause acidosis?The G2 nucleus has double the amount of DNA as the G1 nucleus.DNA synthesis occurs only in the G1 phase.Inactive cells are arrested only in the G2 phase.During G2, the cell prepares for S phase.All of the abovea.b.c.d.e.8--XHow does a nucleus in G2 differ from a nucleus in G1?one turntwo turnsthree turnsfour turnssix turnsa.b.c.d.e.9--XA single glucose molecule can drive the Krebs cycleNADPHH20ATPO2CO2a.b.c.d.e.10--XWhat is the final electron acceptor in non-cyclic photosynthesis?Page 3BLUEGlucose, a six-carbon sugar, enters the cell by passive transport and is primed and converted into glucose three-phosphate, which requires two ATP molecules.
