5. Enzymes:
(1) are specific
(2) lower the activation energy needed for the reaction
(3) usually require a specific set of cofactors if the reaction

8. Tetracycline is an antibiotic that fluoresces or glows when exposed to
ultraviolet rays. An investigator added tetracycline to a dish
containing a culture of growing cells. He later found that the
tetracycline was concentrated in a part of the cell called mitochondria.
This would provide evidence that:
(A) tetracycline might be used to identify mitochondria in living cells
(B) tetracycline might be used to stain nuclei of living cells
(C) all fluorescent materials are absorbed by mitochondria
(D) all antibiotics are absorbed by mitochondria
(E) mitochondria are in some way related to disease prevention
next
a

2
Correct.
next
wrong answer explanation
2
(A) The mitochondria absorb the tetracycline and thus are specific for it.
