6 Base your answers to questions 46 and 47 on the information below and on your knowledge of biology. Where is the Beef? Out Being Irradiated E. coli bacteria in food cause an estimated 73,000 cases of infection leading to some deaths in the United States each year. Until recently, the only way to guarantee meat free of E. coli was to heat it to 160 F, which kills E. coli. The rare hamburgers preferred by many people are not heated to this temperature, and just a few E. coli may cause severe illness. Recently, ground beef has been decontaminated by irradiation using electron beam technology. The packaged ground beef is scanned by an electron beam that disrupts the genetic structure of the pathogens. This kills them or leaves them unable to reproduce. This process is considered safe and has been endorsed by various governmental groups in this country as well as the World Health Organization. Irradiation is effective in preserving only certain foods, such as herbs, wheat flour, fresh fruits, vegetables, and some meats. Although some methods of irradiation can change the taste of some foods, this is not an effect of electron beam technology on ground beef. Opponents of irradiating food are concerned that the process may result in the formation of chemicals that may be harmful or result in a loss of vitamins. Supporters claim that irradiation is safe and should be considered as just another technique for preservation of food. 46. Explain how irradiation could interfere with the process of reproduction in bacteria that survive the irradiation. 47. Identify the specific group of molecules in bacteria whose function would be interfered with by heating them to 160 F. 48. Base your answer to the following question on the information below and on your knowledge of biology. The graph below shows the effect of substrate concentration on the action of enzyme X. This enzyme is functioning at its optimal temperature, 36 C, and at its optimal ph, 5.5. State what would most likely happen to the rate of enzyme action if the temperature were reduced by 10 degrees. Support your answer. Base your answers to questions 49 and 50 on the diagram below and on your knowledge of biology. 49. If the sequence of building blocks were changed, what effect could it most likely have on the protein?

7 50. Identify the type of building block represented by the letters A, B, and C.
