A number of different drugs have been designed to lower cholesterol levels. Statins act by inhibiting the rate-determining step in cholesterol biosynthesis, but these drugs do not work for all individuals. Another potential method for lowering serum cholesterol is treatment with an inhibitor of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). Statins have been combined with other drugs designed to block cholesterol synthesis in the intestine with the hope that a dual mechanism would further reduce serum cholesterol. Would it be potentially beneficial or harmful to combine statins with a SREBP inhibitor for treatment of high serum cholesterol? Choose one: A. beneficial due to decreased uptake of cholesterol by peripheral tissues B. harmful due to increased cholesterol biosynthesis C. harmful due to decreased uptake of cholesterol by peripheral tissues D. beneficial due to decreased cholesterol biosynthesis

Some individuals follow a ketogenic diet, in which carbohydrate and protein intake is severely restricted, for the purpose of weight loss or other health goals. As a result of this diet, glucose blood levels drop, and the body produces energy primarily from ketogenesis (the metabolism of fatty acids). Individuals who are following a ketogenic diet will have high amounts of ketone bodies in their blood, as will individuals who have overdosed on insulin or have undiagnosed diabetes (decreased glucose uptake into tissues). However, the presence of ketone bodies in blood does not necessarily mean ketoacidosis, a life-threatening condition, has occurred. Which of the following statements is FALSE about determining the cause and treatment for ketoacidosis? Choose one: A. If blood pH is low and ketone body concentration is high (ketoacidosis) and blood glucose levels are high, then the individual should be treated with an infusion of glucose. B. If blood pH is low and ketone body concentration is high (ketoacidosis) and blood glucose levels are high, then the individual may have untreated diabetes. C. If blood pH is low and ketone body concentration is high (ketoacidosis) and blood glucose levels are low, then the individual may have overdosed on insulin. D. If blood pH is within normal range, ketone body concentration is high, and blood glucose levels are low, then the individual may be on a carbohydrate- and protein-restricted ketogenic diet. If the individual is demonstrating unusual cognitive behavior, then other causes should be pursued (such as through a toxicology screen).

Deoxyribonucleotides are the building blocks of DNA. DNA differs from RNA in two important ways. First, the ribose sugar in DNA lacks the hydroxyl group at C-2'. This prevents spontaneous cleavage of the phosphodiester backbone through formation of 2',3'-cyclic phosphate, as occurs in RNA. Second, thymine replaces uracil as the pyrimidine base that forms hydrogen bonds with the purine base adenine. This feature also has important evolutionary implications because it ensures that DNA repair mechanisms in the cell quickly identify and remove uracil bases resulting from spontaneous cytosine deamination. Deoxyribonucleotides are derived from ribonucleotides by a single reaction catalyzed by the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase. What form of phosphate serves as the ribonucleotide reaction substrate for ribonucleotide reductase? Choose one: A. GTP, ATP, CTP, or UTP. B. GMP, AMP, CMP, or UMP. C. GDP, ADP, CTP, or UTP. D. GDP, ADP, CDP, or UDP.
