1. The plasma membrane of liver cells contains a glucose uniportthat transports glucose by facilitated diffusion. When the[glucose] is higher inside the liver cell than the [glucose]outside the liver cell, the glucose uniport will

A. couple the transport of glucose out of the cell to thehydrolysis of ATP

B. couple the transport of glucose into the cell to thehydrolysis of ATP

C. switch to a closed conformation, allowing no transport ofglucose

D. transport glucose out of the cell by passive transport

E. transport glucose in of the cell by passive transport

2. Unlike the positive charged ion shown in the middle diagramof figure 11-4B, K+ is higher in concentration inside the cell. Howwill the membrane potential of a cell at rest (shown in both themiddle and right-hand diagrams of Figure 11-4B) affect theelectrochemical gradient for K+?

A. The membrane potential will increase the electrochemicalgradient

B. The membrane potential will decrease the electrochemicalgradient

C. The membrane potential will have no effect on theelectrochemical gradient

3. Which of the following proteins carries out activetransport?

A. gluclose symport

B. Bacteriorhodopsin

C. ABC transporter

D. NA K pump

E. All of the above

4. Aquaporin will not transport Na+ ions because

A. Two asparagine residues in the channel prevent the passage ofNa+ ions by binding the oxygen of each water molecule as it passesby

B. Na+ ions are repelled by the positive charges at the entranceto the channel

C. Na+ ions cannot make contact with the carbonyl (C=O) groupson all four sides of the channel

D. The passage of Na+ ions is energetically unfavorable becauseone side of the channel is hydrophobic in nature

5. The acetylcholine receptor is different from other channelproteins we have discussed, such as the K+ leak channel,because

A. The acetylcholine channel is composed of a single polypeptiderather than multiple subunits

B. The acetylcholine channel transports Na+ ions against theconcentration gradient for sodium

C. The acetylcholine channel has a much smaller diameter thanother channel proteins

D. The acetylcholine channel transports ions with theirassociated shell of water molecules

E. The acetylcholine channel is always open, and never switchesto a closed conformation

6. After opening briefly along the axon of a neuron,voltage-gated ion channels switch to an inactivated conformationthat slowly returns to the original closed conformation of theprotein. This slow change in conformation, requiring about amillisecond, is important because

A. all of the ions that were transported across the membranewhen the ion channels were open must be actively transported backto the other side of the membrane, restoring the originalconcentration gradient, before the ion channels can open again

B. ATP hydrolysis is necessary to drive this energeticallyunfavorable change in conformation

C. it prevents the action potential from reversing direction andtraveling back toward the cell body of the neuron

D. the channel protein must be dephosphorylated in order tocomplete the transport process and return to the originalnonphosphorylated conformation

1. How does sexual reproduction compare to DNA transfers inprokaryotes?
I. Both increase genetic diversity.
II. Sexual reproduction results in greater evolutionarychange.
III. DNA transfer in prokaryotes allows for fewer errors andmutations.

a. I only

b. I and II

c. I and III

d. I, II, and III

2. What type of receptor is described in the followingparagraph?

Binding of a signaling molecule to this type of receptor uses anenzyme to remove a phosphate group from an ATP molecule to activateanother receptor. The activated receptor can be recognized by relayproteins inside the cell, which bind to the receptor and changeshape. These activated proteins then trigger a transduction pathwaythat leads to some sort of cellular response.

a. intracellular receptor

b. ligand-gated ion channel

c. g protein-coupled receptor

d. receptor tyrosine kinase

3. Yeast cells, plant cells, and mammal cells all share manysimilarities in cell signaling. This provides evidence that

a. cell-signaling mechanisms are only found in organisms that usemethods of sexual reproduction

b. intercellular communication evolved as a way for multicellularorganisms to coordinate cell functions

c. eukaryotic cells use signal transduction pathways whileprokaryotic cells use a more primitive form of signaling

d. signal transduction pathways appeared in cells before theevolution of multicellular organisms

Question #05: CV Integration and the Respiratory System The question for this week is as follows: Select a position on the question “how good an athlete is the horse”. Do you think the respiratory limitations of this specie (e.g. pulmonary hypertension, exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage or EIPH) are expression of physiological compensation for a fit athlete, or are they manifestation of a system being “run down to the ground in a very stressed athlete”? Your answer must follow the outline shown in the introduction (sub-questions a, b, c, d, see above). Please notice that in this question both the structure and the function you are asked to select must be related to the EIPH syndrome. Hint: think on “the circle”.
a) Name the structure and the function on which your overall answer will be based? Be as specific as you can in delimiting the boundaries of your example (the most important part of your answer, since the following b, c, & d sub-questions are based on your answer to this first sub-question, a). Please notice that only 1 item is required (in your answer it should be labeled as “a”). This answer should look like: “a.- My structure (S) is …. and its function (F) is …”. In same cases a second sentence might be needed. b) Why do you think that your structure and your function are related? Support your contention based on 3 lines of evidence based on the chemistry, physics, anatomy, or physiology involved in your example. Please notice that 3 items are required (answers should be labeled as “b1, b2, and b3”). One of this answers might look like: “b1.- If I do this experiment and measure this variable using this technique, this result will suggest that my S/F is correct”. Please notice that MY question does not ask you to tell me what happens since this can be copy from any source, but it asked how do you know that your S/F relationship is true. c) Which are the levels of organization involved in your example (c1)? Cite events occurring at its main level of organization (c2) and indicate how they relate to the whole body level (c3). Please notice that 3 items are required (thus, answers should be labeled as “c1, c2, and c3”). These answers should look as follows: “c1.- molecular” or any level of organization involved in your “a” answer (S/F); “c2.- the first event is; the next even is; the middle event is; the next event is; the last event is”. Five events distributed equidistant from each other is a good summary for the story line of the your S/F named in your “a” answer. Finally, “c3.- at a whole individual level my S/F described in “a” plays this role”. d) Which are the main feedback mechanisms involved in your example (cite at least two) (d1)? Expand on one of them (d2) and name 2 absolute requirement for that feedback to work (d3). Please notice that 3 items are required (answers should be labeled as “d1, d2, and d3”). These answers should look as follows: “d1.- an increase in this negative feedback ligand must decrease this variable under control”. This is how you NAME a negative feedback. For d1 you need to name two negative feedbacks; “d2.- the first event is; the next even is; the middle event is; the next event is; the last event is”. Five events distributed equidistant from each other is a good summary for the most important negative feedback story line involved as a control of the your S/F named in your “a” answer, that you named in d1; “d3.- this two components are absolutely necessary for the negative feedback described in d2 to be operational.
