Section I : Knowledge Retrieval (5 pts)

I. Define the following notions: - Alcohol fermentation. - Oxidative phosphorylation. (1 pt)

set. Copy down these pairs (1; ..), (2; ..), (3; ..), (4; ..), and match each number with its corresponding

letter. (2 pts)

1- The transformation of a glucose molecule into

tow molecules of pyruvic acid at the level of

hyaloplasm is accompanied by a/an:

a. reduction of 2 NADH,H+ and production of 4 ATP.

b. oxidation of 2 NADH,H+ and production of 4 ATP.

c. oxidation of 2 NAD and production of 2 ATP.

d. reduction of 2 NAD and production of 2 ATP.

2. The activity of the respiratory chain leads

to a/an:

a. increase in proton concentration in the matrix.

b. decrease in proton concentration in the matrix.

c. increase in proton concentration in the

intermembrane space.

d. decrease in proton concentration in the

intermembrane space.

3- The steps of muscle contraction are :

1- the fixation of ATP on the myosin heads;

2- hydrolysis of ATP ;

3- rotation of myosin heads ;

4- release of Ca2+ ;

5- formation of actomyosin complex ;

6- sliding of actin filaments towards the centre of the

sarcomere.

The correct chronological sequence is:

a. 3 → 6 → 4 → 1 → 2→ 5

b. 6 → 4 → 1 → 5→ 2 → 3

c. 4 → 5 → 2→ 3 → 6 →1

d. 1→ 2 → 3 → 6 → 4 → 5.

4- During phosphorylation of ADP, the

proton gradient created by the respiratory

chain is used by :

a. the proton channels of the mitochondrial

inner membrane.

b. the ATP synthase of the mitochondrial inner

membrane.

c. the electron carriers of the mitochondrial

inner membrane.

d. the coenzymes of the mitochondrial inner

membrane.

III. Copy down on your exam sheet the number corresponding to each proposition and write whether

the statement is “true” or “false”. (1 pt)

1. In the muscle cell, the renewal of ATP from phosphocreatine is due to the intervention of ATP synthase.

2. In the matrix, the oxidation of NADH,H+ is due to the intervention of the dehydrogenases.

3. In the hyaloplasm, alcohol fermentation produces an organic residue and releases CO2.

4. In the mitochondria, pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl CoA.

IV. Match each recorded myogram (Group 1) to the corresponding state of stimulations applied on the

muscles (Group 2). Copy down these pairs (1; ..), (2; ..), (3; ..), (4; ..), and match each number to its

corresponding letter. (1 pt)

Mody-2 diabetes (Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young) affects some people before the age of 20.

People with this disease suffer from permanent hyperglycemia.

In order to highlight the genetic origin of this disease, we suggest the following data:

 The glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen (glycogenesis) by the intervention of a set of enzymes.

Glucokinase is one of such enzymes. Document 1 shows the level of intervention of glucokinase in the

chain of reactions of glycogenesis.

 The measurement of glucokinase activity in the liver

in a healthy individual and in another individual affected

by Mody-2 has given the results presented in document 2.

1. Based on documents 1and 2:

a- Describe the glucokinase activity variations in the

healthy individual and in the individual affected by

Mody-2. (0.5 pt)

b- Explain the permanent hyperglycemia in the

individual affected by Mody-2. (0.5 pt)

Section II : Scientific reasoning and communication in graphic and written modes (15 pts)

Exercise 1 (2.5 pts)

Group 1: Recorded myogram. Group 2 : Application of 2 effective stimulations on

the muscle.

1- Complete fusion of two muscle

twitches.

a- The second stimulation is applied after completion of the

first muscle twitch.

2- Incomplete fusion of two muscle

twitches.

b- The second stimulation is applied during the latent period

of the first muscle twitch.

3- Two isolated muscle twitches. c- The second stimulation is applied during the contraction

period of the first muscle twitch.

4- One isolated muscle twitch.

d- The second stimulation is applied during the relaxation

period of the first muscle twitch.

 To know the origin of this disease, we suggest documents 3 and 4.

Document 3 presents part of a transcribed strand of the gene coding for glucokinase in a healthy individual

and in another individual affected by Mody-2, and document 4 gives an extract of the genetic code.

2 . Based on documents 3 and 4, determine the amino acid sequence corresponding to each part of the

gene coding for glucokinase in a healthy individual and in an individual affected by Mody-2. (0,5 pt)

3. Based on your previous answers, explain the genetic origin of Mody-2 disease. (1 pt)

In order to study the mode of transmission of the two hereditary characteristics (traits) in rabbits,

we suggest the exploitation of the results of the two following crosses:

- First cross between two pure lineages of rabbits: one lineage has long hair (angora) and a uniform

colour, and the other has short hair and variegated white colour.

The first generation obtained (F1) is composed of individuals with short hair and variegated white colour.

- Second cross between females of F1 and males with long hair (angora) and uniform colour.

This cross has given a generation F’2 composed of:

- 338 rabbits with short hair and variegated white colour;

- 341 rabbits with long hair and uniform colour;

- 12 rabbits with long hair and variegated white colour;

- 9 rabbits with short hair and uniform colour.

1 . Based on the results of the two crosses, determine the mode of transmission of the two hereditary

traits studied. (0.75 pt)

2. Interpret and use Punnett square to explain the results obtained in the second cross. (0.75 pt)

NB. Use the symbols L and l for ‘hair length’ trait and the symbols P and p for ‘hair colour’ trait.

3. Determine the phenomenon responsible for the appearance of rabbits with long hair and variegated

white colour and rabbits with short hair and uniform colour in generation F’2. Explain this phenomenon

by drawing a scheme. (1 pt)
