Question 3

Which equation correctly represents the relationship between pH and hydrogen ion concentration $$[H^+] in a $$solution?

Accepted Answer

$$pH = -\log_{10}[H^+]$$

Question 4

Which of the following is an example of a synthesis reaction in the human body?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

A solution has a pH of 8.5. Which statement best describes this solution?

Accepted Answer

It is basic and has a higher concentration of $$OH^-$$ ions than $$H^+$$ ions.

Question 6

Which of the following best explains why water is an effective solvent for ionic compounds?

Accepted Answer

Water molecules form hydrogen bonds with ions, separating them from each other.

Question 7

During strenuous exercise, muscle cells rely on ATP for energy. Which reaction occurs to release energy from ATP?

Accepted Answer

ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and phosphate, releasing energy.

Question 8

Which of the following is a function of enzymes in biochemical reactions?

Accepted Answer

Enzymes lower the activation energy, speeding up chemical reactions.

Question 9

A patient has a deficiency in buffer systems in their blood. What is the most likely consequence?

Accepted Answer

Their blood pH will fluctuate more easily in response to acids and bases.

Question 10

Which of the following best describes a triglyceride?

Accepted Answer

A molecule composed of a glycerol backbone and three fatty acids

Question 11

Which process is responsible for breaking down polysaccharides into monosaccharides in the digestive system?

Accepted Answer

Hydrolysis

Question 12

Which of the following statements about organic compounds is correct?

Accepted Answer

Organic compounds always contain carbon and hydrogen, and usually oxygen.

Question 13

A scientist is studying the effect of temperature on enzyme activity. Which of the following is most likely to occur if the temperature is increased beyond the enzyme's optimal range?

Accepted Answer

Enzyme activity will decrease due to denaturation.

Question 14

Which of the following best describes the function of phospholipids in the human body?

Accepted Answer

They form the main component of cell membranes.

Question 15

Which of the following is a property of water that allows it to help maintain body temperature during fever?

Accepted Answer

High heat capacity

Question 16

Which type of chemical reaction is described by the following equation: $$AB + CD \rightarrow AD + CB$$?

Accepted Answer

Exchange reaction

Question 17

Which of the following best explains why vegetable oil does not dissolve in water?

Accepted Answer

Vegetable oil is hydrophobic and cannot form hydrogen bonds with water.

Question 18

Which of the following is a function of proteins in the human body?

Accepted Answer

Proteins provide structure, regulate processes, and act as enzymes.

Question 19

Which of the following statements about ATP is correct?

Accepted Answer

ATP stores energy in its phosphate bonds and releases it when converted to ADP and phosphate.

Question 20

A buffer solution is added to a solution with a pH of 6. What is the expected effect?

Accepted Answer

The buffer will stabilize the pH, preventing large changes.
