If a fossil is encased in a stratum of sedimentary rock without any strata of igneous rock (e.g., lava, volcanic ash) nearby, then it should be

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. easy to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because the radioisotopes in the sediments will not have been ʺresetʺ by the heat of the igneous rocks.

  2. easy to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because the igneous rocks will not have physically obstructed the deposition of sediment of a single age next to the fossil.

  3. difficult to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because the ʺmarker fossilsʺ common to igneous rock will be absent.

  4. difficult to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because radiometric dating of sedimentary rock is less accurate than that of igneous rock.

The following statements are related to pentose phosphate pathway.

a) The first and third steps are oxidations with large, negative standard free-energy changes and are essentially irreversible in the cell

b) NADPH rises and inhibits the first enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. As a result, more glucose 6-phosphate is available for glycolysis

c) All the enzymes of the reversible reaction of the pentose phosphate pathway are located in the cytosol

d) The NADPH is used for biosynthetic reactions such as lipid synthesis and nitrogen assimilation in the cytosol

 If all the ATP are radiolabelled in the cytosol, then predict about radioactivity of each compound.

 a) All enzyme  of glycolysis will be radiolabelled except 2-phophoglycerate and phosphenol pyruvate

 b) 2-phophoglycerate and phosphenol pyruvate are radiolabelled only the next cycle of glycolysis after cytosolic ATP radiolabelling

 c) 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate will be radiolabelled at 1 and 3 both position

 d) 2-phosphoglycerate are not radiolabelled because its enzyme phosphoglycerate mutase active site contain histidine residue exchange phosphate group from 3-phosphoglycerate

 which prediction about radiolabelling is incorrect?
