In the ribosome, what pairs with the codon? ---------CORRECT ANSWER--------------- --Anticodon Assume that you have a eukaryotic cell with three chromosomes within it. How many 5' ends would there be? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Gap 1: 6, Gap 2: 12 Which nucleotide is different in RNA compared to DNA? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Uradine There are two types of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. These two types can be distinguished because the polyribosome is either or. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Free, or membrane-bound polyribosome Which enzyme is used first to permit DNA polymerase III to begin replicating the 3' strand? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Primase In eukaryotic cells the start codon for protein synthesis is. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------AUG or Methionine

List the order in which storage compounds are utilized if there is no intake of food. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Glycogen and Fat, then protein What is bile made from? And how does oatmeal reduce cholesterol levels? --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Bile is made from cholesterol, and some kinds of fiber (like oatmeal) will bind with bile, decreasing its absorption and lowering cholesterol levels. How does the pancreas neutralize the pH of the chyme that comes from the stomach? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Bicarbonate Ion Secretions Think about feedback loops. What triggers the gall bladder to secrete bile? --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Fatty acids in the lumen of the duodenum Name the main enzyme in the stomach. ---------CORRECT ANSWER----------------- Pepsin T/F If something is called a vitamin, it cannot be made by the organism and must be taken in as a part of diet. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------True

90% of absorption in the intestine occurs where? ---------CORRECT ANSWER--------- --------In the Ileum and Jejunum The digestive track begins with the ___________________ and the first enzyme added is ___________________. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Mouth, Amylase Name the sphincter that separates the stomach from the small intestine. --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Pyloric Sphincter When glucose is taken in by the digestive track and enters your blood, cells are triggered to take in the glucose by what mechanism? ---------CORRECT ANSWER---- -------------Insulin and insulin receptors Write a few sentences to distinguish between digestion and absorption. --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Digestion is when an enzyme breaks down food into smaller blocks. Absorption is the assimilation of substances into the bloodstream from the digestive tract.

For DNA Polymerase III to work, which of these components has to act first? ------- --CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Primase Specifically in a cell where does Glycolysis occur? ---------CORRECT ANSWER--------- --------Cytoplasm T/F The cell does not need ATP to survive. ---------CORRECT ANSWER----------------- False Where is carbon dioxide produced? ---------CORRECT ANSWER----------------- Mitochondrial matrix T/F The citric acid/Kreb's cycle breaks down carbohydrates into CO2. --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------True T/F FADH2 results as one of the products of the citric acid cycle. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------True Specifically where in a cell does the citric acid/Kreb's cycle occur? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Mitochondrial Matrix

Glycolysis requires the investment of two_________ in order to obtain a gross output of four ________. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------ATP, ATP Does gravity have a role in some part of the lymphatic fluid flow back to the circulatory system? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Yes T/F Natural killer cells are part of the specific immune system. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------False T/F You should have your appendix removed whenever possible. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------False How does the lymph fluid return from the legs to the circulatory system? --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------A one way valve pushing it up, with the help of muscles contracting around it. If a macrophage endocytoses (i.e., eats) an antigen it can digest it and present it on a ______________ Major histocompatibility complex protein to a ______________. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Class II, Helper T Cell
