A) It is destroyed
B) It is used to drive exergonic reactions
C) It is donated to molecules in the cellular respiration process to reduce them
D) It is lost as heat

E) B) and C)

Kinases are enzymes that can phosphorylate (transfer phosphate groups onto) macromolecules such as proteins.A particular kinase,Kinase 1 is known to promote cell division.It promotes cell division by phosphorylating Protein X.Phosphorylation of Protein X activates Protein X.Once activated,Protein X stimulates the production of other proteins such as Protein Y and Z that directly promote cell division.In order to function,Kinase 1 requires the presence of Metal A.However,in the presence of Protein A,Kinase 1 is nonfunctional.From the description,what is considered a cofactor of Kinase 1?


A) Protein X
B) Protein Y
C) Protein Z
D) Metal A
E) Protein A

Does ADP contain the capacity to provide energy for the cell?


A) No.ADP does not contain any bonds that can be broken to provide energy for the cell.
B) Yes.ADP has the same capacity to provide energy for the cell as ATP.
C) Yes.Cleaving the bond between the ribose sugar and the two phosphate groups can provide energy for the cell.
D) Yes.Cleaving the bond between the terminal phosphate and the phosphate attached to the ribose sugar can provide energy for the cell.

Tacrolimus (FK-506) is a drug that inhibits an enzyme called calcineurin.Calcineurin is a protein phosphatase.This is an enzyme that dephosphorylates (removes phosphate groups) from proteins.When added to cells,tacrolimus can inhibit the dephosphorylation of a protein called NFAT,but it cannot prevent the dephosphorylation of a protein called CDK1.What is the most likely explanation for this finding?


A) Calcineurin requires an additional cofactor to dephosphorylate NFAT
B) NFAT is a substrate of calcineurin,but CDK1 is not
C) Tacrolimus is a competitive inhibitor of calcineurin for NFAT and CDK11
D) Tacrolimus changes the optimum pH for calcineurin

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an enzyme that is activated by high levels of AMP in cells.If levels of AMP are high in cells,that means that levels of ATP are low.Once active,AMPK activates catabolic pathways and inhibits anabolic pathways in the cell.Why do you think that is the case? Choose the answer that best explains the role of AMPK.


A) High levels of AMP indicate that there is a high amount of energy stored in the cell,thus activating catabolic pathways and inhibiting anabolic pathways are mechanisms to use stored energy.
B) By inhibiting anabolic pathways,AMPK provides a mechanism to generate heat for the cell,which is important if AMP levels are high in the cell.
C) By activating catabolic pathways,AMPK provides a mechanism to activate exergonic pathways,which is important if AMP levels are high in the cell.
D) Activating catabolic pathways and inhibiting anabolic pathways will ultimately lead to higher consumption of ATP,which is important if AMP levels are high in the cell.
