48. Which of the following statements explains why allopurinol is able to prevent gout?
(A) It binds to uric acid thus preventing the formation of uric acid crystals.
(B) It acts as a diuretic to increase the elimination of uric acid.
(C) It inhibits the production of uric acid and allows for the more highly soluble xanthine and hypoxanthine to be excreted from the body.
(D) It stimulates the purine salvage pathway, thus eliminating the need for production of uric acid.
(E) None of the above.

44. Bacteria and other prokaryotic cells have the capacity to get more ATP/glucose oxidized than eukaryotic cells because _____, so they are more efficient. (A) they have a simpler ATP synthase (B) they don't have to use shuttles to reoxidize reduced nucleotides (C) they do not have to translocate ATP-ADP across the mitochondrial membranes (D) they use an electron transport chain that translocates more protons (E) their glucose oxidation pathways are different from the pathways in eukaryotes

45. Which of the following statements about the reactions involved in the synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides is   false  ? (A) Deoxyribonucleotides are derived from the corresponding ribonucleotides by direct reduction at the 2'-carbon atom of the D-ribose to form the 2'-deoxy derivative. (B) Formation of deoxyribonucleotides is catalyzed by ribonucleotide reductase, in which its substrates are ribonucleoside diphosphates. (C) Glutathione serves as a reducing agent for glutaredoxin in deoxyribonucleotide synthesis. (D) Ribonucleotide reductase is notable in that its reaction involves free radicals in biochemical transformations. (E) The immediate precursor of thymidylate (dTMP) is dUMP. The conversion of dUMP to dTMP is a reaction of deamination.
