A permanent decrease in insulin production from the Islets of Langerhans Dr. Bio measures your total cholesterol and he reports back to you that your level is 300 mg/ 100 ml of plasma. You do what? Eat more oatmeal and flax to increase your HDL level. How do you make an unsaturated fatty acid? Perform a dehydration synthesis reaction on a saturated fatty acid Which is false for antioxidants? They speed up reactions in your body Which molecules do not dissolve in water? Non-polar Which molecule requires a transport protein to get through the plasma membrane (either channel or carrier protein)? Two of the answers are correct Interphase is considered to be part of normal cell division (mitosis). False What is the function of ATP? All of the answers are correct What are the three kinds of lipids? Triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids When glycerol combines with 3 fatty acids to form a triglyceride (fat), which of the following chemical reactions has occurred? Dehydration Synthesis How can you alter a protein’s shape? More than one answer is correct If a red blood cell is put into a solution and it maintains its shape, then the solution is considered to be: Isotonic Which molecule requires some type of transport protein to get through the plasma membrane? Sodium Ion Cofactors are molecules that activate enzymes. Which is not a cofactor? Mercury The nitrogenous bases found in DNA have complementary paring. Which pair is correct? C-G Which is not true for meiosis? Results in a gamete that is 2N In the diagram below the two solutions are separated by a semi permeable membrane. In which direction will net movement of water occur? From side A to side B Which is not a component of a DNA molecule: Ribose Sugar Phospholipids are similar to fatty acids except for? Phospholipids have a phosphate group Which is not true for cells? They allow diffusion of all molecules If you combine a molecule of glucose and fructose, which statement is true? You have formed sucrose Which is true for enzymes? Activity will increase until the enzyme becomes saturated What method would you use to get glucose into a cell along/down it’s concentration gradient (from high to low)? Facilitated Diffusion Which is not considered an integrator in a negative homeostatic feedback loop? Pancreas Which phase of the cell cycle is where cytokinesis takes place? Telophase What vitamin do we produce by sitting in the sun; it aids in calcium absorption from the small intestine? Vitamin D Why is it important to think about ion dissociation in the body? All the above In what order do you use macromolecules for fuel? Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins Which is false for cholesterol? It can dissolve in water/blood You place a RBC (0.9%) into a 0.5% sugar solution. Which statement below is false? The RBC is hypertonic to the 0.5% solution Which is not a membrane protein function? Protein synthesis Ingesting (eating) excess hydrophilic vitamins, such as vitamin C, results in excess vitamin C being stored in your tissues. False Diffusion is: The movement of molecules from an area of high molecular concentration to an area of low molecular concentration across a selectively-permeable membrane The hormone responsible for glucose uptake/removal from the blood is: Insulin What method would you use to get sodium ions into a cell against sodium’s concentration gradient (from low to high concentration)? Active Transport Which phase of the cell cycle is where the cell is functioning normally or doing its job? Interphase Evidence for mitochondria once being bacteria that our cells engulfed is: It has it’s own DNA Ionic molecules (ie NA+, K+) can diffuse straight through the plasma membrane. True What is the difference between cis and trans fatty acids? Cis fatty acids have hydrogens on the same side of the carbon double bond and trans fatty acids do not Cofactors are molecules that activate enzymes. Where do we get cofactors from? Vitamins found in fruits and vegetables RNA has what nitrogenous base in place of thymine? Uracil Large polar molecules (ie glucose) can diffuse straight through the plasma membrane? False Which lipoprotein is comprised of more protein and less cholesterol so it scavenges for cholesterol in the blood? High density lipoprotein A normal human being has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs/2N/diploid) in each somatic cell (body cell). True The three main compounds digested by the digestive system are? Fats, carbohydrates, and proteins Meiosis is the process in which our sex cells go from 46 chromosomes to 23 single chromosomes. True The effector in any negative feedback loop is usually: An organ/tissue If a red blood cell is put into a solution and it crenates (shrinks), then the solution is considered to be: Hypertonic Which statement is false for glycogen? It is a disaccharide Enzymes aid in digestion by? Lowering the energy required to break food apart Nonpolar molecules (ie CO2) can diffuse straight through the plasma membrane

Cognitive Dissonance

A psychological phenomenon where a person experiences discomfort from holding conflicting beliefs or attitudes.

Homeostasis

The tendency of a system, especially living organisms, to maintain internal stability.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

A theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow, often depicted as a pyramid, outlining a hierarchy of human needs from basic physiological requirements to self-actualization.

Operant Conditioning

A learning process through which the strength of a behavior is modified by reinforcement or punishment.

Social Facilitation

The tendency for individuals to perform better on simple tasks when in the presence of others than when alone.
