Explain how ATP is derived from triglyceride breakdown.

What is the relationship of NAD and lactate in the glycolytic pathway?

Suppose you have changed your malloc implementation to use an explicit free list instead of an implicit free list.  Which metric should this most significantly improve?

1. Name and honor code. Write down your full name. Write down your wisc email address. Honor code: I affirm that I will not give or receive any unauthorized help on this assessment, and that all work shown will be my own. Write down “I affirm.”

3. Neon (Ne) vs. fluorine (F2) (11pts) The melting point of neon (Ne) is 24 K and its boiling point is 27 K. In a box, draw an atomic/molecular level picture of neon at 30 K. (Use an appropriate number of particles to help you clearly convey the phase you intend to draw.) What bonds and/or interactions are present in your drawing in part (a)? If no bonds and/or interactions are present, write “none”. The melting point of fluorine (F2) is 53 K and its boiling point is 85 K. What phase (solid, liquid or gas) is fluorine in at 30 K?  What bonds and/or interactions are present in a sample of fluorine at 30 K? If no bonds and/or interactions are present, write “none”. Why does fluorine have a higher boiling point than neon? Be sure to include force and energy in your explanation.

Stomata are _________. 

During the light reaction, energy from the electron transport chain pumps hydrogen ions into the thylakoid space.  The hydrogen ions diffuse from the thylakoid space back to the stroma.  As they move, they go through an enzyme called ___________ which spins and produces ATP.  

The enzyme in the Calvin cycle responsible for carbon fixation is called ___________. 

Which of the following is NOT a predicted consequence of continued global warming? 

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels cause all plants to grow bigger at the same rate.
