What is the cause of secondary structure in a protein?
 
  A) short range interactions between neighboring amino acids
  B) covalent bonding between different protein molecules
  C) noncovalent interaction of groups of protein molecules
  D) long distance conformation changes due to a large number of weak interactions
  E) none of the above

Question 2

In one type of fuel cell, the following oxidation-reduction reactions are taking place:
 
  2 H2 + O2  2 H2O
 
  What is the oxidant?
  A) H2
  B) O2
  C) H2O
  D) all of the above
  E) none of the above

Question 3

Light nuclei can be split. For example, a deuteron, which is a proton-neutron combination, can split into a separate proton and separate neutron. Does such a process yield energy or cost energy? Why?
 
  A) Yields energy. Splitting nuclei of any sort is a basic example of a nuclear reaction releasing massive amounts of energy.
  B) Neither. The amount of energy required to split the light nuclei is exactly the same as that released. This is the basis of the Law of Conservation of Energy.
  C) Costs energy. This fact is consistent with the sum of the masses of the separated proton and neutron being greater than the mass of the original deuteron.
  D) Yields energy. This fact is consistent with the sum of the masses of the separated proton and neutron being less than the mass of the original deuteron.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
