A new experimental pesticide is being tested by a large agricultural chemical company. An unfortunate side effect in plants treated with this new product is a decrease in NADPH production in the chloroplasts

(Interestingly, reduction of NAD+ to NADH in the mitochondria is unaffected.) Given this observation, which of the following would you expect to observe in
the chloroplasts of these plants?
A. an increase in 3-phosphoglycerate levels
and a decrease in RuBP production
B. a decrease in 3-phosphoglycerate levels
and an increase in RuBP
C. an increase in glyceraldehyde-3-
phosphate production
D. an increase in 3-phosphoglycerate
production and an increase in RuBP

L-lysine is an essential amino acid and must be supplied in the diet. By comparison, the stereoisomer D-lysine is not biologically active. Why can your body only utilize one form?

A. Since the L form and D form are enantiomers, they will bind together and inhibit utilization of the D form. B. Since the L form and D form are chiral molecules, they will bind together and inhibit utilization of the D form. C. Antibodies recognize the D form and destroy it before your body can use it for nutritional purposes. D. Enzymes can only recognize a single, specific stereoisomer.
