Amutation that results in a single amino acid substitution in the active site of an enzyme a) may alter the ability of a noncompetitive inhibitor to bind to the enzyme. b) may alter the ability of an allosteric regulator to alter enzyme activity. c) may change the substrate specificity of the enzyme. d) may alter the ∆g for the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme.

Which of the following will not cause mass extinction? a. drastic change is weather b. geological change c. both a and b d. none of the above

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i. e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
