300
This is the correct sequence of locations during the transport of proteins out of a cell.
What is the RER --> Golgi ---> vesicles ----> plasma membrane.
300
This is a step of cellular respiration that breaks down AcetylCoA to 2 carbon dioxide, 1 ATP, 3NADH, and 1 FADH2 molecules in mitochondrial matrix.
What is the Krebs Cycle?
300
A common second messenger which is a derivative of ATP and used for intracellular signal transduction in many different organisms
What is cAMP?

This is what happens when a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution.
It becomes turgid
400
This is a high energy electron carrier after reduction in photosynthesis (after they pick up electrons from ETC)
What is NADPH?
400
A protein kinase that is only active when attached to a particular cyclin that helps regulate the cell cycle
What is cyclin-dependent kinase?
400
This enzyme is used to catalyze the formation of DNA from RNA in HIV infections.
What is reverse transcriptase?
500
This type of inhibition occurs when a substrate binds to a site other than the active site to prevent enzyme catalysis.
What is allosteric inhibition?
500
This measurement has a maximum value of 0; it decreases as the concentration of a solute increases. (Be specific!)
What is solute potential?
500
This is the site of high concentration of protons built up during a step of cellular respiration.
What is the intermembrane space of the mitochondria?
500
An enzyme that removes phosphate groups from proteins, often functioning to reverse the effect of a protein kinase.
