How does the archaeal RNA polymerase differ from that in Bacteria? How does the initiation of transcription in the two domains differ? Why do eukaryotic mRNAs have to be "processed" whereas most prokaryotic RNAs do not?

Why does the Schroendinger equation contain a first time derivative?

How does RNA polymerase know where to begin transcription? How does it know where to end?

What is the replisome and what does it contain? Why can replication occur faster on circular DNA than on linear DNA? What is proofreading and why is it important?

What is meant by the term semiconservative replication? What are the functions of DNA Pol I and III, helicase, and primase? How does a leading strand differ from a lagging strand?

Use Gauss-Jordan reduction to transform the augmented matrix of each system to RREF. Use it to discuss the solutions of the system (i.e., no solutions, a unique solution, or infinitely many solutions).

$$\begin{aligned} x \quad \quad +z=2 \\ 2 x-3 y+5 z &=4 \\ 3 x+2 y-z &=4 \end{aligned}$$

Use the definite integral to find the area between the x-axis and f(x) over the indicated interval. Check first to see if the graph crosses the x-axis in the given interval. $f(x)=e^{x}-1$, [-1, 2]

How are chromosomes and plasmids similar, and how do they differ? What are R plasmids and why are they of medical concern?

Find the derivative of the function. f(x)=5

Determine whether the function is a linear transformation. $T: P_{2} \rightarrow P_{2}, T\left(a_{0}+a_{1} x+a_{2} x^{2}\right)=a_{1}+2 a_{2} x$

Evaluate each definite integral. $\int_{1}^{8} \frac{3-y^{1 / 3}}{y^{2 / 3}} d y$

Describe in a single sentence the structure of a unit membrane. Describe the major structural differences between membranes of Bacteria and Archaea. How do solutes enter a cell through the membrane?

a) Show that the smallest possible uncertainty in the position of an electron whose speed is given by $\beta=v / c$ is $\Delta x_{\min }=\frac{h}{4 \pi m_{0} c}\left(1-\beta^{2}\right)^{1 / 2}=\frac{\lambda_{C}}{4 \pi} \sqrt{1-\beta^{2}}$ where $\lambda_{C}$ is the Compton wavelength $h / m_{0} c$. b) What is the meaning of this equation for $\beta=0$? For $\beta=1$?

Evaluate each definite integral. $\int_{-2}^{2}(4 z+3) d z$
