 Among the diverse components of plant defense arsenals are proteins that interfere with herbivore digestion, Given some defense compound of plants in column I with its given action in column II

Column I

column II

I)  α-amylase inhibitors

a) Antidigestive proteins, block the action of herbivore proteolytic enzymes. After entering the herbivore’s digestive tract, they hinder protein digestion by binding tightly and specifically to the active site of protein-hydrolyzing enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin

II) Lectins

b) block the action of the starch-digesting enzyme

III) proteinase inhibitors

c) A defensive proteins that bind to carbohydrates or carbohydrate-containing proteins. After being ingested by an herbivore, bind to the epithelial cells lining the digestive tract and interfere with nutrient absorption

Correctly match the defence compound withits action on herbivore;

Hamsters love to run on exercise wheels. Prolonged running at a high rate of speed requires ATP. Could a hamster with a defective gene for the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase meet the extra ATP demand for prolonged, fast wheel-running by maintaining a high rate of glycolysis? Why or why not?

The overall △G for glycolysis is -72 kJ/mol in erythrocytes. Which statement below is true?

A) The value of △G0ʹ is also -72 kJ/mol since the cytosol pH is close to 7.

B) The free energy of glycolysis is found as the sum of the standard free energy changes for

the individual pathway reactions.

C) The negative sign of △G shows that this pathway will proceed toward product (pyruvate) under normal cellular conditions.
