A converging glass lens forms a real image of a red object at a distance equal to twice its focal length. If a blue object is placed adjacent to the red object, will its image form closer to the lens or farther from the lens than the image of the red object?
Answer: Closer, because blue light is refracted more due to its shorter wavelength
Why?? - CORRECT ANSWER Blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light which means it has a larger frequency. The refractive index of a medium increases with increasing frequency thus the refractive index for blue light will be larger. Thus because it would bend more, it would bend closer.
The lens is converging because diverging lenses cannot form real images.

The concentration of ketone bodies in the blood is expected to be increased the most in:
a. a person with untreated type 1 diabetes
b. a runner who is eating extra carbohydrates for a few days before a race.
c.a person with untreated epilepsy.
d.an individual who has started a low fat diet in an attempt to lose weight. - CORRECT ANSWER A. A person with untreated Type 1 diabetes. Ketogenesis occurs when the glucose levels are low and require fats to produce ketone bodies. Thus A is the right answer.
What type of lenses correct for nearsightedness? (myopia?) - CORRECT ANSWER Concave and DIVERGING lens

Of the following, which is the strongest oxidizing agent, based on Table 1?
a.Ag(s)
b.Zn2+(aq)
c.Cu2+(aq)
d.Ni(s) - CORRECT ANSWER Cu is the answer. Neutral metals tend to be oxidized (eliminating a and d) . The strongest OA is the one to be more easily reduced (which would have the most positive E value)
What is a low retention time in Gas Chroma associated with? - CORRECT ANSWER A low BP/ volatile compound, while a high Rf in chromate is associated with a non polar compound.
Under what conditions can the Hardy-Wienberg equation be used? - CORRECT ANSWER When trying to determine the frequency of autosomal recessive or dominant traits
What is the function of the cerebellum ? - CORRECT ANSWER Helps maintain balance

What do Prokaryotes use to supercoil their DNA? What do Eukaryotes use? - CORRECT ANSWER Prokaryotes use DNA gyrase. Eukaryotes use histones/ topoisomerase.
What is the recombination frequency? - CORRECT ANSWER #of recombinants/ total number of offsprings
What is the unlinked phenotype of two parents with a double heterozygote genotype (Ex: TtCc) - CORRECT ANSWER 9:3:3:1
What type of Amino Acid is glutamine ? - CORRECT ANSWER hydrophillic and polar
Can Tumors use cap independent translation? - CORRECT ANSWER yes tumors use it when growth conditions are less than ideal (which is often because they are constantly proliferating)
Is G6Phosphotase or Fructose6Phosphotase used in the pentose phosphate pathway? - CORRECT ANSWER G6P
How does fructose 2,6-Biphosphate work? - CORRECT ANSWER It exhibits reciprocal control on glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. It stimulates PFK-1 in glycolysis and inhibits fructose-1,6-bisphosphotase (gluconeogenesis)
