Succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of succinate to fumarate. The reaction is inhibited by malonic acid, which resembles succinate but cannot be acted upon by succinate dehydrogenase. Increasing the ratio of succinate to malonic acid reduces the inhibitory effect of malonic acid. What is the purpose of using malonic acid in this experiment?

A food scientist is developing a new and improved cereal bar. She consults with you to ask in what order the ingredients should be listed on the food label. The ingredients are: Sugar: 30 g, Puffed wheat: 38 g, Dry milk powder: 5 g, Red food coloring: 10 mg, Salt: 2 g. What is the appropriate order in which to list these ingredients on the food label?

Propranolol (Kd= 0.005 µM) is an epinephrine (β-adrenergic) receptor antagonist. Which statement best describes epinephrine (Kd= 5 µM) signaling in the presence of propranolol? A) Propranolol will bind the receptor with higher affinity and mimic epinephrine B) Propranolol will bind the receptor with higher affinity and block epinephrine C) Epinephrine will bind the receptor with higher affinity and signaling will continue as normal D) Propranolol and epinephrine will bind at different sites on the receptor and signaling will be blocked
