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.

IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody made in response to an infection. IgE antibody levels are often high in people with allergies. IgD antibodies are found in tissues lining the abdomen and chest.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Coca-Cola originally used coca leaves and caffeine from the African kola nut. It was advertised as a therapeutic agent and "pickerupper." Eventually, its formulation was changed, and the coca leaves were removed because of the effects of regulation on cocaine-related products.
