1. A newly synthesized protein destined for secretion from a eukaryotic cell will generally follow which of the pathways listed below?
(A) rough ER → Golgi → transport vesicle → nucleus
(B) Golgi → rough ER → lysosome → transport vesicle → plasma membrane
(C) rough ER → Golgi → transport vesicle → plasma membrane
(D) rough ER → lysosome → transport vesicle → plasma membrane

37. Which of the following best explains how proteasomal and lysosomal degradation differ in substrate specificity and regulation? (A) Both systems rely on molecular chaperones, but only lysosomes degrade non-protein cellular components such as lipids. (B) Lysosomes selectively degrade misfolded proteins through autophagy, while proteasomes degrade native proteins marked for turnover. (C) Proteasomes degrade extracellular and cytosolic proteins, while lysosomes are restricted to extracellular material. (D) Proteasomal activity is regulated by lysosomal enzymes, ensuring coordinated protein turnover. (E) Proteasomal degradation requires substrate ubiquitination and ATP hydrolysis, while lysosomal degradation is ubiquitin-independent and primarily pH-dependent.

38. Control of gene expression by Ca2+ can occur through which of the following mechanism? (1) Changes in the transactivating properties of transcription factors following the activation of -dependent kinases.  (2) Changes in the transactivating properties of transcription factors following the activation of -dependent phosphatases.  (3) Translocation of the C-terminal fragment of an L-type channel to the nucleus where it binds to a nuclear transcription factor. (A) (1) (B) (2) (C) (3) (D) All of above are correct (E) None of above is correct

39. The term "synapse" has been used to describe the contact points between: (1) neuronal cells. (2) immune cells. (3) epithelial cells. (A) (1) (B) (2) (C) (3) (D) None of above (E) All of the above

40. Which of the following statement about myelination is incorrect? (A) Myelination is required in both the CNS (central nervous system) and PNS (peripheral nervous system). (B) Myelination involves the ensheathment and insulation of axons by radial glial cell membranes. (C) Myelinating Schwann cells extend their processes to wrap up axons at a 1:1 relationship. (D) Myelinating Oligodendrocytes extend multiple processes that will contact and myelinate several axons. (E) None of above is incorrect.

2. Which of the following structures form cytoplasmic channels that connect adjacent plant cells through the cell walls? (A) desmosomes (B) gap junctions (C) plasmodesmata (D) tight junctions

3. Which of the following statements best describes how unsaturated fatty acids increase membrane fluidity at lower temperatures? (A) The double bonds form kinks in the fatty acid tails, preventing adjacent lipids from packing tightly. (B) Unsaturated fatty acids have a higher cholesterol content, which prevents adjacent lipids from packing tightly. (C) Unsaturated fatty acids are more nonpolar than saturated fatty acids. (D) The double bonds block interaction among the hydrophilic head groups of the lipids.

複選題4. Which of the following responses is stimulated by cell signaling the formation of biofilms? (A) formation of mating complexes (B) aggregation of bacteria (C) secretion of substances that inhibit the growth of foreign bacteria (D) inhibition of quorum sensing

5. Upon completion of the citric acid cycle, most of the energy originally stored in each glucose molecule catabolized by cellular respiration is stored in which of the following molecules? (A) acetyl-CoA (B) ATP (C) CO2 (D) NADH

6. On a spaceship designed to support a multiyear voyage to the outer planets of the solar system, plants will be grown to provide oxygen and to recycle carbon dioxide. Because the spaceship will be so far from the sun, an artificial light source will be needed to support photosynthesis. Which of the following wavelengths of light should be used to maximize plant growth? (A) a mixture of yellow and orange light (B) green light (C) a mixture of blue and red light (D) ultraviolet light

7. Which of the following statements describes a characteristic feature of metaphase? (A) alignment of chromosomes on the equator of the cell (B) separation of the centromeres (C) cytokinesis (D) separation of sister chromatids
