Phosphofructokinase is an allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, an early step of glycolysis. In the presence of oxygen, an increase in the amount ATP in a cell would be expected to
A) inhibit the enzyme and thus slow the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
B) activate the enzyme and thus slow the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
C) inhibit the enzyme and thus increase the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
D) activate the enzyme and increase the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
E) inhibit the enzyme and thus increase the rate of glycolysis and the concentration of citrate.
Ans: A) inhibit the enzyme and thus slow the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.

Some flowering plants cannot self-pollinate. This increases their tendency to mate with phenotypically different mates, a process called disassortative mating. What effect would this have on a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
A. An increase in heterozygotes would be observed. B. An increase in homozygotes would be observed. C. No change homozygotes or heterozygotes would be observed. D. A decrease in heterozygotes would be observed. E. The population would remain in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
