Therefore this tube must be from the nucleus, it could not be from the cytosol. 90) The nucleotide triplet in tRNA that base-pairs with a complementary triplet in mRNA is called the codon. 91) There are twenty different aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. 92) Once protein synthesis is completed, the protein that was synthesized may undergo further changes prior to its secretion or use within the cell. 93) Transcription factors activate or repress the transcription of specific genes by binding to regions of DNA that interact with the promoter region of a gene. 94) All proteins exist in the cell for the same length of time before being destroyed. 95) Proteins destined to become integral membrane proteins have a signal sequence. 96) The consequences of mutations are invariably harmful. 97) The deletion of a single base in a gene would alter the structure of the gene's protein more than the substitution of one base for another. 98) In general, the larger the number of different ligands that can bind to a particular binding site on a protein, the less the specificity of that binding site.


99) The shape of a ligand and the shape of its binding site influence both the specificity and the affinity of binding. 100) Any given protein contains binding sites for only one kind of ligand. 101) The greater the ligand concentration needed to achieve 50% saturation of a particular binding site, the higher the affinity of the binding site for that ligand. 102) Allosteric modulation of a protein involves noncovalent binding of a ligand to a regulatory binding site. 103) The only role of modulator molecules is to enhance the binding affinity of the functional site of an allosteric protein. 104) Proteins that mediate or catalyze reactions in which the covalent bonding of the reactant molecules changes are called substrates. 105) Coenzymes are organic cofactors. 106) An important function of coenzymes is to act as carriers to transport hydrogen atoms. 107) The active site of an enzyme is a functional binding site. 108) The enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the catabolism of H2CO3 to H2O and CO2. 109) In the lab you are re-creating the metabolic pathway that produces the hormone testosterone. Unfortunately, you've run out of the enzyme that catalyzes the third reaction. It's no problem, though, because you can substitute any of the other enzymes as all enzymes in a metabolic pathway are interchangeable. 110) The rate-limiting reaction in a metabolic pathway is one that occurs at a faster rate than the other steps in the pathway. 111) Allosteric inhibition of rate-limiting enzymes is a common means of regulating anabolic pathways. 112) During oxidative phosphorylation, hydrogen atoms are passed serially from a coenzyme down a chain of molecules called cytochromes. 113) In the absence of oxygen, cells can derive energy to form ATP from the metabolism of fatty acids. 114) The first step in glycogen synthesis is the phosphorylation of glucose. 115) Glucose cannot be synthesized from fatty acids because the reaction converting pyruvic acid to acetyl coenzyme A is not reversible.


116) Substrate-level phosphorylation takes place in the ribosomes of cells, whereas oxidative phosphorylation takes place in mitochondria. 117) During anaerobic glycolysis, a net of two molecules of ATP are generated for each molecule of glucose broken down. 118) NAD+ is a byproduct of cellular respiration that diffuses out of the cell and is eliminated from the body in urine. 119) In the Krebs cycle, an acetyl fragment is broken down to CO2 and H+ ions. 120) The major waste product of metabolism is H2O. 121) Most of the energy stored in the body is in the form of glycogen. 122) All water in the human body comes from dietary sources. 123) Proteins are broken down to amino acids by enzymes called transaminases. 124) Removal of the amino group from an amino acid is necessary before the amino acid can be metabolized for energy. 125) Human beings can synthesize all twenty amino acids the body must have. 126) An essential nutrient is one necessary for good health that is not synthesized by the body. 127) Glucose is not considered an essential nutrient because it is not essential for good health. 128) A clinical disease that results in an inability to absorb fats will not result in malnutrition. 129) Tom tries a new diet that involves no food intake. Instead of eating, he takes plenty of multivitamin pills. This is OK because vitamins are a significant source of energy. 130) You are observing the rate of an enzymatic reaction.

89) The myocardial cells receive their blood supply from the coronary arteries that branch off from the aorta. 90) An obstruction in one of the coronary arteries would compromise the ability of the myocardial cells to undergo cellular respiration. 91) A major difference between cardiac muscle cells and the cells in the cardiac conducting system is that the contractile cells do not undergo spontaneous depolarization. 92) The sinoatrial node is normally the heart's pacemaker because it has the fastest spontaneous rate of diastolic depolarization. 93) The wave of ventricular contraction starts at the apex of the heart and travels up toward the base. 94) An ectopic pacemaker is an area of the myocardial conducting system, other than the atrioventricular node, that initiates cardiac depolarization. 95) The QRS wave of the ECG corresponds to depolarization of the atria. 96) An electrocardiogram would be definitive for diagnosing diseases involving the valves of the heart. 97) Your doctor has determined that you have a leaky right atrioventricular valve. This defect will be detected by an ECG. 98) Cardiac muscle cannot undergo tetanus because its absolute refractory period lasts almost as long as the muscle twitch. 99) Sympathetic stimulation of cardiac muscle cells produces stronger and faster contractions because proteins that pump Ca2+ out of the cell are inhibited, which reduces Ca2+ concentration in the sarcoplasm. 100) Parasympathetic neurons release acetylcholine onto cells in the atria of the heart, but not onto cells of the ventricles. 101) A beta-adrenergic receptor blocker will work to both lower the heart rate and the force of ventricular contraction. 102) The determinant of whether heart valves are open or closed is the pressure difference across them. 103) The left ventricle has to pump more blood than the right ventricle because the left ventricle has to pump blood through the systemic circulation, which is much larger than the pulmonary circulation.

104) The left ventricle has a thicker wall than the right ventricle because the left ventricle has to pump blood against a higher pressure. 105) The only time during the cardiac cycle that the AV valves are open is systole. 106) During most of systole, left ventricular pressure exceeds aortic pressure, causing blood ejection. 107) Long-term studies show that the risk for heart attack and stroke doubles for every 20 mm increase in diastolic pressure and 10 mmHg in systolic pressure. 108) Normal heart sounds are produced by vibrations caused by the closing of the AV valves at the end of diastole and the closing of the aortic and pulmonary valves at the end of systole. 109) The inherent pacemaker discharge rate of the sinoatrial node is 72 beats per minute. 110) Stimulation of parasympathetic nerves releases epinephrine into the blood plasma. 111) Sympathetic stimulation of the heart increases action potential conduction velocity through the AV node. 112) The Frank-Starling mechanism of the heart states that an increased venous return will normally result in a higher heart rate. 113) The stroke volume of the heart can be increased by recruiting more cardiac muscle fibers into activity. 114) The Frank-Starling curve for heart muscle is analogous to a length-tension curve in skeletal muscle. 115) Ventricular contractility is the strength of ventricular contraction at any given end-diastolic volume. 116) Systolic pressure is the peak pressure in systemic arteries and occurs at the beginning of systole. 117) Mean arterial pressure is most accurately calculated by determining the average of the systolic and diastolic pressures. 118) The flow rate of blood through an organ is in part determined by the relative dilation or constriction of arterioles in that organ. 119) The smooth muscle in arteriole walls can be stimulated either to contract or to relax, thereby either decreasing or increasing the amount of blood flowing through arteriolar beds.

120) The hydrostatic pressure difference between the plasma inside the capillary beds and the interstitial fluid surrounding the cells favors filtration of fluid. 121) The protein osmotic pressure difference between the plasma inside the capillary beds and the interstitial fluid surrounding the cells favors filtration of fluid. 122) The amount of nutrients and waste products moved across the capillary wall by bulk flow is greater than the amount that diffuses across under normal conditions. 123) Strong vasoconstriction of arterioles will probably result in greater filtration of fluid from the plasma of capillary beds downstream. 124) Valves are important for promoting one-way flow of blood through the heart and some large veins. 125) The main homeostatically regulated variable of the cardiovascular system is the mean systemic arterial blood pressure. 126) Total peripheral resistance in the circulatory system is primarily determined by the degree of vasoconstriction in the veins. 127) Increasing the mean arterial pressure or the pulse pressure in the carotid artery will cause decreased firing of action potentials in the afferent neurons associated with the baroreceptors. 128) The medullary cardiovascular center is the only part of the brain involved with the regulation of blood pressure. 129) The condition of shock is an example of failure of homeostatic mechanisms to compensate when one or more parts of the reflex control system are damaged. 130) An athlete who is nearing the end of a 2-kilometer run would be expected to have both an increased mean arterial blood pressure and an increased total peripheral resistance. 131) During exercise, sympathetic stimulation of the heart and arteriolar smooth muscle is enhanced because of reflexes triggered by elevated mean arterial pressure and elevated pulse pressure. 132) Hypertension is often treated with drugs that increase total peripheral resistance. 133) In a failing heart, stroke volume does not increase as steeply when end-diastolic volume increases. 134) In a patient with heart failure, doctors are likely to observe a lower ejection fraction. 135) Sarah was in a bike accident and is bleeding severely. In order to maintain blood pressure and compensate for the blood loss, her heart rate will increase. 20 Copyright 2019 © McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved.

63) Infants born prematurely frequently develop respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn because they have too few alveoli to exchange O2 and CO2 efficiently. 64) In an individual experiencing an asthma attack, arterial blood levels of PO2 will decrease and arterial blood levels of PCO2 will increase. 65) The diameter of the airways in normal lungs is generally great enough that little resistance is offered to airflow. 66) A disease that causes obstruction in the bronchioles is likely to result in lowered systemic arterial pH. 67) Emphysema is a disease characterized by low lung compliance, obstructed airways, and ventilation-perfusion inequality. 68) An individual with emphysema will have a lower tidal volume than an individual of the same size without emphysema. 69) A clinical sign of obstructive lung disease would be a reduced FEV1/FVC ratio, where "FVC" is "forced" VC. 70) The total dead space in the lungs includes anatomic dead space and any portion of the alveoli that has little or no blood supply. 71) Doubling the frequency of breathing will cause a greater increase in alveolar ventilation than will doubling the depth of inspiration. 72) At sea level, atmospheric PO2 is about 760 mmHg. 73) An individual in Boston (sea level) will have a lower tidal volume than an individual in Denver (5,280 feet above sea level). 74) In the systemic circulation, the PO2 of arterial blood exceeds the PO2 of venous blood, while the reverse is true for the pulmonary circulation. 75) Decreased alveolar PO2 causes reflex vasodilation of the pulmonary arterioles. 76) Most of the O2 carried in the blood is dissolved in plasma. 77) When blood flows into the systemic capillaries, the PO2 of the erythrocytes is greater than the PO2 of the interstitial fluid, causing a shift from oxyhemoglobin to deoxyhemoglobin. 78) If lung disease results in an arterial PO2 of 80 mmHg, the total amount of oxygen carried by the blood is 20% below normal. 12 Copyright 2019 © McGraw-Hill Education.

79) Mixed venous blood in a resting individual still contains more than double the amount of oxygen extracted by the tissues as the blood passed through them. 80) The affinity of hemoglobin for O2 is decreased in rapidly metabolizing tissues. 81) Of the CO2 returning from the tissues in venous blood, more is dissolved in plasma as CO2 than is bound to hemoglobin. 82) Deoxyhemoglobin binds bicarbonate ion better than oxyhemoglobin does. 83) Normally, all the H+ ions generated from CO2 in tissue capillaries recombine with bicarbonate in pulmonary capillaries and are removed from the body as CO2. 84) The majority of hydrogen ions generated in the formation of carbonic acid in the tissues are carried as freely dissolved H+ in the venous blood. 85) When a person hyperventilates, there are lower than normal levels of PCO2 and hydrogen ion in arterial blood, a condition called respiratory alkalosis. 86) The rhythmic contractions and relaxations of the inspiratory muscles are dependent upon spontaneous depolarizations of the diaphragm. 87) The neurons responsible for the cyclic nature of respiratory muscle function are located in the brainstem. 88) The medullary inspiratory neurons receive inhibitory neural input from the pons and also from pulmonary stretch receptors. 89) A decrease in arterial PO2 stimulates increased ventilation by causing increased firing of action potentials in the afferent neurons from the carotid and aortic body chemoreceptors. 90) A slight rise in arterial PCO2 from normal resting values at sea level is a much stronger stimulus for increasing ventilation than a comparable fall in arterial PO2 under the same conditions. 91) The most important signal for regulating normal ventilation is hydrogen ions in the blood generated by lactic acid production. 92) Increased plasma concentration of lactic acid stimulates increased ventilation primarily by means of central chemoreceptors. 93) During moderate exercise, arterial PCO2 and H+ concentration increase and arterial PO2 decreases, and these are the main stimuli causing increased ventilation.

94) One cause of hypoxic hypoxia in disease is diffusion impairment of O2 resulting from decreased alveolar surface area. 95) Exposure to high altitude is a form of ischemic hypoxia. 96) A small amount of carbon monoxide in the air would not significantly alter the PO2 of inspired air nor the PO2 of the arterial blood. 97) The key difference between fetal hemoglobin and adult hemoglobin is that fetal hemoglobin has a lower affinity for oxygen because the levels of oxygen in placental blood is 2 to 3 times higher than other systemic arteries. 98) The control of respiration by centers in the brainstem can be over-ridden by higher brain centers when speaking, breath-holding, undergoing emotional reactions, and experiencing pain. 99) Non-respiratory functions of the lungs include acting as "filters" for removing certain chemicals and blood clots. 100) CO2 can be transported in the blood in which of the following forms? A) Dissolved in plasma B) Dissolved in the cytosol of erythrocytes C) Bound to hemoglobin D) Dissolved in the cytosol of leukocytes E) Converted to chloride 101) An individual with emphysema might experience which of the following?

75) The total solute concentration in the extracellular fluid is mainly dependent upon the concentration of Na+ in the extracellular fluid. 76) Water absorption from the proximal tubule is mainly driven by the active reabsorption of Na+. 77) A consequence of lack of vasopressin is excretion of sugar in the urine, which occurs in the condition diabetes mellitus. 78) A person lacking vasopressin would have to drink 180 L of water per day to make up for the water lost in the urine. 79) The countercurrent mechanism of the kidney enables the formation of hypertonic urine. 80) The walls of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle are freely permeable to water. 81) The fluid entering the distal convoluted tubule is hypoosmotic with respect to plasma. 82) At the bend of the loop of Henle, the osmolarity of the tubular fluid is more than four times greater than that of the glomerular filtrate when a person is in an antidiuretic state. 83) The main force responsible for water reabsorption from the collecting ducts is the low hydrostatic pressure in the surrounding interstitial space. 84) Unlike the renal cortical interstitial fluid, the interstitial fluid of the medulla is hyperosmotic. 85) In the absence of vasopressin, urine is isoosmotic with plasma. 86) Increasing the GFR tends to increase the excretion rate of sodium. 87) Atrial distension is a stimulus for the secretion of atrial natriuretic factor, which stimulates the reabsorption of sodium by the kidneys. 88) Following hemorrhage, vasopressin secretion increases because of increased firing of hypothalamic osmoreceptors. 89) Because fluid loss as sweat is isoosmotic, the baroreceptor reflexes are more important than osmoreceptor activity in restoring extracellular fluid volume after sweating. 90) An increase in the osmolarity of the blood supplying the hypothalamus is a powerful stimulus for thirst. 91) A patient receives an IV (intravenous) infusion of a concentrated, 9% saline solution (0.9% is considered isosmotic). Even if there was no change to the volume of blood or water in the body, this patient is likely to experience extreme thirst following the infusion. 14 Copyright 2019 © McGraw-Hill Education.

92) Regulation of extracellular K+ is not critical to body function because only about 2% of the total-body K+ is in the extracellular fluid. 93) Cardiac arrhythmias may be a clinical sign of either K+ depletion or excess. 94) Both Na+ and Cl- freely filter from the glomerular capillaries into Bowman's space, with no secretion along the renal tubule. 95) The reabsorption of water in the nephron is accomplished due to the generation of an osmotic gradient created by Na+ reabsorption. 96) In the proximal convoluted tubule the reabsorption of Na+ is unaffected by the presence or absence of other substances such as glucose or H+ in the filtrate. 97) Unlike Na+, K+ is secreted by the nephron tubules. 98) Ingestion of large amounts of K+ triggers reflexes to limit the amount of K+ reabsorbed by the cortical collecting ducts. 99) A misguided athlete ingests a large amount of dietary K+ because she thinks it will boost muscle performance. Instead, the majority of this extra K+ is secreted into filtrate and excreted in the urine. 100) Stimuli that cause increased Na+ reabsorption decrease K+ secretion. 101) A stimulus for increased aldosterone secretion is decreased plasma K+ concentration. 102) A substance that interferes with the active transport of Na+ in the cortical collecting ducts will also interfere with K+ reabsorption. 103) A stimulus for increased aldosterone secretion is increased plasma levels of K+. 104) If damage to the glomerular capillaries resulted in significantly enlarged filtration slits in the endothelial lining, one consequence might be loss of protein in the urine. 105) If damage to the glomerular capillaries resulted in significantly enlarged capillary pores in the endothelial lining, GFR would decrease. 106) Regulation of Ca2+ balance, like that of Na+ and K+ balance, is only determined by the kidneys. 107) Parathyroid hormone influences Ca2+ and PO4- by stimulating their resorption from bone and stimulating their reabsorption in the kidneys. 108) Most of the H+ excreted in the urine is bound to bicarbonate ion. 15 Copyright 2019 © McGraw-Hill Education.

61) A group of students has declared a hunger strike to protest a perception of low-quality dorm food. Jose is one of the protesting students and he has not eaten for three days. Most of the energy available in Jose's body is provided by gluconeogenesis. 62) Fatty acids released by lipolysis of triglycerides in adipose tissue travel in the plasma as VLDL. 63) Talia is a busy store clerk on Black Friday. She ate breakfast at 7 am but was not able to take a lunch break because the store was too busy. Its now 3 pm and she's beginning to feel a bit odd.Her non-nervous tissues are probably utilizing fatty acids and ketones as energy sources. 64) Insulin has no effect on the carrier-mediated transport of glucose in the liver; therefore, insulin does not stimulate the uptake of glucose by that organ. 65) Insulin inhibits the enzymes in the liver that catalyze reactions leading to gluconeogenesis. 66) The metabolic events characteristic of the absorptive state can be attributed to the presence of large amounts of insulin in the blood, whereas the events of the postabsorptive state can be attributed largely to decreased insulin levels. 67) The release of epinephrine during exercise contributes to an increase in nutrient levels in the blood. 68) The chemoreceptors for the reflexes that stimulate sympathetic activity and epinephrine secretion in response to hypoglycemia are located in the carotid and aortic bodies. 69) Pituitary growth hormone has effects on protein metabolism similar to those of insulin, but its effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism are similar to those of elevated cortisol. 70) During stress, elevated levels of plasma cortisol stimulate the catabolism of muscle protein and the conversion of alpha-keto acids to glucose in the liver. 71) Chronic long-term stress could lead to weakening of cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues. 72) During exercise, glucose uptake by muscle cells is increased because of increased insulin secretion. 73) During exercise, skeletal muscle cells can upregulate alternative glucose transporters which are independent of insulin signaling, therefore exercise is useful for individuals with type 2 diabetes. 74) In untreated type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, the liver converts fatty acids into ketones, which are released into the blood. 75) Sarah is a type 1 diabetic who forgot to bring insulin with her today. Due to high circulating ketone levels, it is likely that Sarah's blood pH may decrease. 11 Copyright 2019 © McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved.

76) One consequence of insulin deficiency is the decreased ability of the brain to take up blood glucose, a condition that can lead to brain dysfunction and death. 77) The excretion of glucose in the urine of a diabetic patient is a result of the inability of the kidney tubules to reabsorb a normal amount of glucose in the absence of insulin. 78) Cholesterol is metabolized to bile salts in the liver. 79) Lisa is on a low-cholesterol diet. She ingests almost no dietary cholesterol.

One effective option would be an antagonist to the progesterone receptor. 131) A drug company would like to market a new form of birth control. A drug that interferes with endometrial proliferation and inducing changes in the composition of the cervical mucus, even if it doesn't inhibit ovulation, could still be effective. 132) The gene on the Y chromosome that determines whether gonads will be testes or ovaries codes for a protein called Müllerian-inhibiting substance. 133) The presence of sex chromatin in a smear of epithelial cells indicates that the donor of the cells is a genetic female. 134) An individual with androgen insensitivity syndrome is a genetic male with ovaries. 135) The onset of puberty may be delayed in girls who have very low amounts of adipose tissue. 136) Postmenopausal women are at increased risk, compared to premenopausal women, for osteoporosis and atherosclerosis. 137) Steroid hormones generally bind with receptors inside target cells and control the rate of formation of mRNAs that lead to the synthesis of proteins. 138) During meiosis, crossing-over results in the exchange of homologous genes from one of a pair of chromatids to the other with no net change in possibilities for genetic expression. 139) Within the ovary, there are always a large number of ovarian follicles poised to release an ovum at ovulation. 140) Many (10–25) antral follicles begin the process of development each menstrual cycle, but only one will usually progress to the point of ovulation. 141) Infertility treatments most often involve the injection of aromatases, leading to enhanced numbers of developing early ovarian antral follicles. 142) 99.9% of the ovarian follicles a woman produces in her lifetime are viable and capable of being fertilized.
