How does RNA polymerase II bind to the DNA?
a. It binds directly to the eukaryotic promoter sequence.
b. It binds directly to the TATA box.
c. It binds to transcription factors in the nucleus, and the complex then binds to the promoter.
d. Transcription factors first bind to the promoter, then recruit RNA polymerase II.
e. Some transcription factors bind to the promoter while others bind to RNA polymerase II, then the two groups
of proteins bind to each other.

Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)
1. Fermentation is a more efficient form of energy production than aerobic respiration. 2. Substrate phosphorylation occurs when protons pass through ATP synthase and combine with oxygen to make water. 3. In cellular respiration, an H+ electrochemical gradient is formed so that the H+ concentration is lower in the intermembrane space than inside the matrix. 4. If oxygen is present, pyruvate will be converted to acetyl CoA in the mitochondrial matrix.
You isolate a cellular structure and determine that it is composed of ?-tubulin and ?-tubulin. Based on
this evidence, you correctly identify this structure as: a. a structural MAP. b. a microfilament. c. a microtubule. d. an actin filament. e. a myosin filament.
When blood supplies oxygen and food to a cell surface and these molecules diffuse across, we might expect some "resting time." However, if we inspected most cell membranes in a living human body, we would find a nearly continuous flow of substances back-and-forth across the plasma membrane. Which of the following is NOT a reason why?
A) Cell metabolism is constantly using up oxygen and raw materials; this lowers their concentration so more will diffuse into the cell. B) Cell metabolism is constantly producing waste molecules; this increases their concentration so more will diffuse out of the cell. C) Cells produce useful secretions; this increases their concentration and more will diffuse out of the cell. D) Cell metabolism constantly produces carbon dioxide in respiration; this increases its concentration so more will diffuse out of the cell. E) Cells are living entities and in order to live can never "rest".
