: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 143) You mix one liter of 300 mOsM NaCl with two liters 450 mOsM glucose. A. What is the osmolarity of the new solution? B. What is the final osmolarity of the NaCl in the new solution? C. What is the final osmolarity of glucose in the new solution? D. What is the tonicity of this new solution compared to a red blood cell with 300 mOsM nonpenetrating solute?

: A. 300 mOsM NaCl × 1 L = 300 mOsmoles NaCl. 450 mOsM glucose × 2 L = 900 mOsmoles glucose. Total solutes = 900 mOsmoles + 300 mOsmoles = 1200 mOsmoles. Total volume = 1 L + 2 L = 3 L. 1200 mOsmoles/3 L = 400 mOsM solution. B. 300 mOsmoles/3 L = 100 mOsM NaCl. C. 900 mOsmoles/3 L = 300 mOsM glucose. D. Solution is hyperosmotic. Glucose is a penetrating solute, so glucose diffuses into the cell, raising the osmolarity, causing water to diffuse into the cell. The cell swells. Thus, the solution is hypotonic.

Explain to him that an easier way is to memorize a few rules of chemical bonding and then figure out the structure of the important compounds, especially the simpler compounds.

: Elements combine to form molecules in predictable ways because of how the outer shell electrons combine between atoms. In most cases, the outer shell will be most stable with a total of eight electrons. This information is easily discernible from the periodic table. Therefore an atom with seven outer shell electrons, such as K, combines very readily with an atom with one outer shell electron, such as Cl; an atom with six outer shell electrons, such as Ca will combine with an atom with two outer shell electrons or with two atoms with one outer shell electron each, and so on.

Use the synthesis of glucose by plants and the break down of glucose by humans as specific examples of the energy hill.

: Energy is required for a person to move a ball from a lower height to a higher one, and that the ball will automatically roll down the hill if allowed to, without further input of energy. The substrates CO2 and H2O require energy to be combined into C6H12O6; the energy of the sun provides this energy to "roll" the substrates up the energy hill as they combine. The glucose then contains the potential energy provided by the sun. When enzymes are present, the molecule easily breaks down to CO2 and H2O releasing energy that is used by the cell to perform work.

Summarize each of these, and explain the importance of these discoveries to our understanding of signal pathways.

: G proteins are coupled to hundreds of different receptors on cells. These are receptors that bind ligands such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and molecules important in sensory systems. Activated G proteins open ion channels or alter enzyme activity. The G protein-coupled adenylyl cyclase-cAMP system was the first signal transduction pathway discovered, and therefore paved the way for our understanding of signal transduction. cAMP is the second messenger in many signaling systems.

Each of these diseases is inherited. Explain how there might be a relationship among these observations.

: Inheritance is determined by the message coded into DNA; a mutation relays a faulty message, which disrupts protein synthesis, resulting in either a faulty protein or complete absence of the protein. Enzymes are proteins. When the instructions for the synthesis of their structure are changed, they may not be able to perform their function, producing a disease condition. If the disease is not fatal prior to puberty and does not render its victim unable to reproduce, the faulty DNA will be copied during gametogenesis and will appear in a predictable percentage of offspring.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 71) Briefly explain the effects of the hormone insulin on glucose transport. What is diabetes mellitus? How are Types I and II different? Why do insulin injections help alleviate one type but not the other?

: Insulin promotes glucose transport into most types of cells. Diabetes mellitus results when insulin regulation of blood glucose concentrations is impaired. In type I, the pancreas fails to produce insulin, whereas in type II insulin levels are normal to high, but target cells fail to respond properly. Insulin injections can successfully treat type I but not type II, because the endogenous insulin production in type II is sufficient but the response is abnormal.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 135) Proteins are described as having different levels of structure. List and distinguish between the level(s) that produce a linear shape vs. a globular shape, and explain why one of those levels can result in either a linear or globular shape.

: Linear shapes: primary, secondary, quaternary. Primary structure is simply the sequence of covalently bonded amino acids in a peptide chain. Secondary structure is further bonding between nearby amino acids in a peptide chain, with the molecule still retaining a strand-like shape. Quaternary structure can involve separate linear polypeptide chains held together in a strand. Globular shapes: tertiary and quaternary. Tertiary structure involves bonding between distant amino acids, which causes the molecule to be wadded. Quaternary structure occurs when more than one globular peptide chain bonds together.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 132) Diuretics cause the kidneys to produce large amounts of urine. Unfortunately, they can also cause the loss of large quantities of K+ in the urine. What effect might prolonged use of diuretics have on nerve or muscle cells?

: Low concentrations of potassium in the blood is a condition called hypokalemia. Interstitial fluids would similarly become low in K+. As the resting potential of nerve and muscle cells depends primarily on extracellular K+ concentration, the potential would be altered. Decreased extracellular K+ would increase the concentration gradient for movement of K+ out of the cells, which would gradually hyperpolarize the potential as positive ions exit and make the cells less excitable (farther from threshold).

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 114) You are a server in a restaurant, always interested in going the extra mile for your customers. Patrick, a regular customer in your section, has ordered sweet iced tea and has an appointment in 10 minutes, so he must drink quickly then leave. The kitchen staff makes only unsweetened tea, but there are sugar packets on the tables. What should you do for Patrick to provide the best sweet tea, and what general principle of diffusion does this illustrate? (Hint: Will sugar dissolve quickly in an iced drink?)

: Make sugar syrup for Patrick by heating a small amount of water with a generous amount of sugar. The sugar diffuses through the water as it dissolves, and this will occur much quicker in warm water (diffusion rate increases with increasing temperature). Then add the syrup to his iced tea and serve. Section Title: Osmosis and Tonicity Learning Outcome: 5.3

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 120) Explain how enzymes can be useful in the diagnosis of disease, giving specific examples. Is the change in enzyme concentration a direct or indirect result of the disease?

: Many enzymes are normally present in the blood in a particular range of concentrations. Alterations in these concentrations can be associated with abnormal conditions. For example, elevation in the digestive enzyme amylase, produced by the pancreas, may indicate pancreatic disease. Elevation of enzymes that normally operate inside cells can indicate tissue damage, such as the elevation of creatine kinase following myocardial infarction. Low amounts of hexosamidase A can indicate Tay-Sachs disease. In the examples given, the amylase and hexosamidase enzyme changes are direct results of the disease, whereas enzymes elevated because of tissue damage are the result of cellular damage and not a direct change in the enzyme itself.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 147) If a person who has not exercised regularly begins a consistent exercise routine, she will notice that her metabolism will seem to increase as her endurance improves. Why is this?

: Metabolism will increase with endurance because the number of mitochondria will increase with consistent exercise. The increase in mitochondria will improve endurance and increase metabolism of glucose because they will be metabolizing more glucose into ATP.

: Level I: Reviewing Facts and Terms (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 97) Explain the relationship between microtubules, cilia, flagella, centrioles, spindle fibers, and the centrosome.

: Microtubules are a cytoskeletal protein made of tubulin. Microtubules form a major component of the internal scaffolding of the cell. Microtubules can also be assembled into cilia and flagella, which are organelles that produce cell-generated movements, and into centrioles and spindle fibers. Centrioles produce the spindle fibers, which are responsible for changing the position of chromosomes during nuclear division. Centrioles are part of a larger structure known as the centrosome, which also includes a darkly staining material and acts as the cell's microtubule organizing center.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 123) How are molarity and osmolarity different? What property of salts necessitates this distinction? How does this property affect the behavior of water?

: Molarity is the number of molecules per liter of solution, while osmolarity is the number of independent particles per liter. The ionization of salt in water illustrates the importance of this distinction: one mole of sodium chloride dissociates to produce a total of two moles of particles (one mole Na+ and one mole Cl-), or two osmoles. Osmosis is diffusion of water. A one molar solution of sodium chloride (two osmolar) produces higher osmotic pressure than a one molar solution of glucose, which does not dissociate. Section Title: Osmosis and Tonicity Learning Outcome: 5.3

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 131) Ionic bonds are considered to be strong chemical bonds. Yet, ions dissociate in water. Explain this apparent contradiction.

: Molecules such as sodium chloride are bonded by ionic bonds. So much energy would be required to separate a molecule of NaCl into Na+ and Cl- that it is practically impossible. That is, if the sodium chloride is dry. Because water molecules have partial charges resulting from their polar covalent bonds, sodium chloride dissociates in water. This means that the ions separate and function relatively independently. An attraction between sodium and chloride still exists, however, and the dissociation can be described as an increase in bond length rather than a loss of the bond. Evaporate the water, though, and the sodium chloride crystals re-form. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.3

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 92) How do most polar molecules move through a cell membrane? Explain why water, a polar molecule, is able to cross the nonpolar portion of a cell membrane.

: Most polar molecules must be assisted by a protein, because the molecule will not interact with the nonpolar phospholipid tails. Examples are facilitated diffusion and active transport. Because water is very small and electrically neutral, it is able to diffuse between the phospholipid tails. Section Title: Diffusion Learning Outcome: 5.6

What is the molecule generated by this process? How does the cell control the amount of this molecule released from the nucleus?

: RNA polymerase, transcription The RNA polymerase transcribes a single stranded mRNA. The cell can decrease mRNA by controlling the activity of the promoter with transcription factors if the gene is not constitutively expressed. Decreases in an inducer or increases in a repressor would reduce the amount of mRNA available for release. In addition, the amount of mRNA released is also affected by the availability of interfering RNA (siRNA or miRNA). Increases in interfering RNA that can inactivate or destroy mRNA would reduce the amount of mRNA released from the nucleus. Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.6

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 77) Receptors in cell signaling are not to be confused with receptors that activate a reflex arc. Explain the difference, using specific examples.

: Receptor molecules are proteins on or in cells that bind to ligands. This binding triggers a response within a cell, to the signaling chemical. For example, this is how a hormone exerts its effect on a target cell. Receptors in a reflex arc are not protein molecules but rather are entire cells, parts of cells, or multicellular structures. These receptors cause a signal to be sent to an integrating center, which may or may not then initiate a response usually involving many cells. For example, a blood pressure receptor detects a decrease in pressure, and sends a neural signal to cardiovascular integrating centers to trigger a vascular response to increase pressure.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 137) You are a student intern in the research and development department of a pharmaceutical company. You have discovered a compound that destroys the common cold virus in cultured human cells. Chemical characterization reveals that carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are present, in a 20:40:4 ratio of C:H:O. What chemical class is this compound? Experiments in rats show that neither oral nor injectable treatment with the compound was effective in destroying the virus. Discuss some possible reasons for this lack of effectiveness.

: The relatively low amount of oxygen and high carbon and hydrogen indicate that this compound is probably a lipid. Oral administration may result in digestion of the compound so that none is absorbed into the blood. Lipids are not highly soluble in water, and because blood is a watery medium, the injected lipid may not transport well in the blood. Also, human cells as well as the viruses may behave differently in culture compared to in a real patient. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.4

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 87) Explain why transporting epithelial cells are said to be polarized. What does it mean when a nerve cell is said to be polarized?

: Transport epithelia have cells that are polarized with respect to distribution of transport proteins in the apical and basolateral membranes, i.e., different types of transporters in the two membranes. Nerve cells are electrically polarized, meaning that the inside of the membrane is charged relative to the outside. Section Title: Epithelial Transport Learning Outcome: 5.11

: Water can cross through the phospholipid molecules, through special water channels called aquaporins, and through open or leak channels (pores) that also transport ions. Water can move through pores as a solvation shell around ions or independent of ions, because the watery interstitial fluid is continuous with the watery cytosol when pores are open. Some cells are more permeable to water, especially those with less cholesterol in the membranes and those with a high density of pores. Section Title: Diffusion Learning Outcome: 5.6

Dad has a tablespoon of water in one hand and a tablespoon of vegetable oil in the other, when he trips over the rug and spills both spoons on the countertop. Dad notices that the oil forms a thin film on the countertop, whereas spilled water forms smaller, taller beads. How should you explain the different behavior of these liquids to your dad?

: Water forms beads when it strikes a nonabsorptive surface because of surface tension resulting from the hydrogen bonds between neighboring water molecules. Vegetable oil molecules are nonpolar covalent, therefore there is no hydrogen bonding between the lipid molecules and no bead formation. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.3

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Evaluation) 138) Describe what happens to NaCl when placed in water.

: Water molecules break the ionic bonds holding Na+ and Cl- together. Each sodium ion becomes surrounded by polar water molecules, with the electronegative ends of water molecules interacting with the ion. Each chloride ion also becomes surrounded by polar water molecules, but in this case it is the electropositive ends of the water molecules that bind to the ion. A consequence is that sodium and chloride ions can function relatively independently of each other when in solution. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.4

The change in pH as the acid dissociates can be demonstrated with an indicator dye that changes color at a particular pH. In your physiology lab, you perform this experiment in two beakers containing room-temperature water and indicator, labeled Resting and Exercise based upon the status of the student who exhaled through a straw into the solution. The Resting student had been sitting at the table for 30 minutes before exhaling while the Exercise student had just finished sprinting up the stairs to class late. A stopwatch was used to measure how long it took for the solutions to change color. The following data were generated by the students. Explain why the time required for the color to change was different between groups, using the word substrate in your answer. Student Time for reaction (seconds): Resting Time for reaction (seconds): Exercising 1 123 20 2 114 23 3 136 17

: With each breath, CO2 is present in the exhaled air. The students who exercised exhibited an elevated rate of CO2 generation by the metabolic cycle. Thus, the substrate concentration was higher for the Exercising student than the Resting student, which is why the time for the solution to change color was less.

Both reactions must be occurring in an equilibrium situation. E. Equilibrium is always achieved in a chemical reaction. F. Equilibrium can be prevented from occurring by constantly removing the product of either reaction. G. An equilibrium, once established, cannot be disturbed.

: A. False. There may be more than one enzyme for the reactions listed, but a given enzyme is often capable of performing a reaction in both directions. B. False. The enzyme for both reactions could be the same, but often a particular enzyme is more likely to perform the forward reaction while a different enzyme is more likely to perform the reverse. C. False. If the reactions are at equilibrium, both are occurring at the same time. If they are not at equilibrium, it is possible that the reaction is occurring only in one direction. In addition, cells can have different enzymes for each reaction direction that can be differentially controlled (i.e., one active and the other inactive). D. True. By definition, a reaction is at equilibrium when both directions are occurring such that there is no net change in amounts of substrates and products. E. False. Equilibrium is not necessarily established, especially in a cell where a product is immediately removed from the system for use elsewhere, such as the product ATP, or if a given enzyme does not perform the reverse reaction. F. True. Any change in amounts of enzyme, substrate, or product will disturb equilibrium, and if these things constantly change, equilibrium cannot be established. G. False.

: A. Hyposmotic, hypotonic. The cell swells. By Rule 5 in Table 5.8 in the chapter, hyposmotic solutions are always hypotonic, because the intracellular solutes are mainly nonpenetrating (Rule 1) thus there will be a net flow of water into the cell. B. Hyperosmotic, hypotonic. The cell swells. Urea is a penetrating solute, so some urea will move into the cell down its concentration gradient. This will increase the osmolarity inside the cell, causing a net flow of water into the cell. C. Isosmotic, hypotonic. The cell swells. Urea is a penetrating solute, so there will be a net movement of urea into the cell, raising the osmolarity and causing a net flow of water into the cell. D. Isosmotic, hypotonic. The cell swells. Urea will penetrate the cell, raising the osmolarity and causing a net flow of water into the cell. E. Isosmotic, isotonic. No change in cell size. Sodium and chloride are nonpenetrating solutes, so there will be no net ion flow across the membrane. Because there is no osmotic pressure, there will also be no net flow of water. F. Hyperosmotic, isotonic. No change in cell size at equilibrium. Initially water leaves the cell due to the higher osmolarity outside the cell. Then, because there is a concentration gradient for urea, urea will enter the cell, increasing its osmolarity, and bringing some water into the cell. The nonpenetrating solute concentrations in cell and solution initially are equal, therefore there will be no net movement of water at equilibrium. G. Hyperosmotic, hypertonic. The cell shrinks. There are no penetrating solutes, and water exits due to the higher osmolarity. Section Title: Protein-Mediated Transport Learning Outcome: 5.3

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 159) A. Define stem cells and differentiation, and describe the different types and the extent to which they are present during the life of an individual (include the fertilized egg as well as the adult that eventually results). B. Which of the four tissue types contain populations of stem cells of known function, and what is that function? Which types of tissue have stem cells of unknown function? Do any types of tissue lack stem cells? C. How do fully differentiated cells differ from stem cells? How can stem cells be used in medical treatment? Give examples.

: A. Stem cells are cells that are mitotic and not fully differentiated. Differentiation is the process cells undergo as they become more and more specialized in structure and function as is typical of the specific tissues they compose. The fertilized egg and the cells resulting from the first few cleavage divisions after fertilization are totipotent, which means they can ultimately produce all the types of cells in an adult. Within the first week after conception, the cells begin differentiation and become capable of producing many types of cells but not all. These cells are pluripotent. By adulthood, stem cells can be described as multipotent, which are stem cells that can produce many of the cell types in a specific tissue, and committed stem cells, which can only become one specific cell type within that tissue. B. Epithelial and connective tissues have active populations of multipotent stems cells, which replace cells lost to damage or normal turnover. Muscle and nervous tissues contain stem cells but appear to be unable to replace lost cells. They were once thought to lack stem cells altogether. C. Once cells are fully differentiated, they can no longer divide to produce more cells. Disease conditions or injuries that result in cell loss may be remedied by treatment with appropriate stem cells. Examples are neurological injuries and diseases marked by irreversible damage to cells that cannot (yet) be replaced by new cells. Section Title: Tissue Remodeling Learning Outcome: 3.6

Calculate the mass of a mole of NaCl in g, using the mass of one Da (amu). C. Calculate the mass of a dozen NaCl molecules, a dozen donuts, and a mole of donuts, assuming a 30 gram donut.

: A. The mass of a molecule is determined by the mass of its component atoms. From the periodic table, the mass of Na is 23 amu and of Cl is nearly 36 amu, so the mass of one molecule of NaCl is 59 Da. A mole is like a dozen, i.e., it is a particular number of items, specifically 6.02 × 1023. B. A mole of NaCl = 59 Da × 6.02 × 1023 = 3.55 × 1025 Da. 1 Da = 1.66 × 10-27 kg, so 3.55 × 1025 Da × 1.66 × 10-27 kg/Da × 1000 g/kg = 59 g. C.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 156) In typical women of reproductive age, the epithelial cells lining the uterus (the endometrium) die and are shed from the body roughly once every month, in the process of menstruation. The triggers in this process include chemical (hormonal) changes and contraction of the blood vessels in the lining. Cell death may be a result of either apoptosis or necrosis. Give the characteristics of each process. Devise an argument for classifying the process of menstruation as an example of apoptosis, and then argue for classifying it as necrosis. Which is correct?

: (Note to instructor: If students have not yet studied the reproductive system, they may not be able to answer the final question, therefore it could be omitted.) Necrosis is cell death as a result of damage from toxins, physical trauma, or lack of oxygen; damaged cells release chemicals that may damage neighboring cells. Apoptosis is programmed cell death, which is an internally regulated process and affects only the cell it occurs within. Menstruation may result from necrosis if the causative factor is changes in blood flow to the endometrium such that the oxygen supply is inadequate. Menstruation may result from apoptosis if it results from hormonal changes that directly kill the cells. While menstruation is a normal event and removes unneeded cells (characteristics of apoptosis), it results directly from the decrease in circulation, causing the cells to die from lack of oxygen; thus it is an example of necrosis.

: (Note to instructor: Students will need to have had some background on vaccinations to answer this question.) Answers will vary, but students may want to discuss the possibility of adverse reactions to vaccines due to presence of albumin or mercury, the possibility of vaccines containing live virus to actually cause the disease they are supposed to prevent (as in some forms of the polio vaccine), and other possible negative effects compared to the benefit of avoiding the disease. Appropriately applied statistics can help put the cost:benefit ratio into perspective. For example, if there is a family history of certain cancers, a vaccination may be warranted despite the risks. Because there are many types of cancers and vaccinations are highly specific treatments, one vaccination would not prevent most cancers, but only the type it was designed to prevent.

Describe the relative proportions of these substances in three structures, and relate these differences to cell function where possible.

: (Note to instructor: This may be a good question to use on a comprehensive final exam, as it ties together basic membrane composition with cell functions revealed in later chapters.) See Table 3.1 in the chapter. Red blood cells have nearly equal amounts of protein and lipid, with a small amount of carbohydrate, in this ratio of protein:lipid:carbohydrate: 49:43:8. Myelin is almost all lipid, followed by protein and carbohydrate in this ratio of lipid:protein:carbohydrate: 79:18:3. In later chapters on the nervous system, it will be seen that this preponderance of lipid results in electrical insulation, which is one of the main functions of myelin. The inner mitochondrial membrane is mostly protein, in this ratio of protein:lipid:carbohydrate: 76:24:0. This reflects the function of this membrane in chemical synthesis that relies on a variety of protein enzymes. Section Title: Biological Membranes Learning Outcome: 3.2

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 163) Nutrients undergo the last stages of digestion by enzymes located on the cells of the small intestine; then the nutrients are absorbed by these same cells by way of various membrane transport processes. Adipose cells absorb and store excess food energy in the form of fat. You and the other students in the physiology lab you are taking are doing an analysis of cell membrane composition, on unknown animal tissue samples labeled A and B. All lab groups determined that sample A contained, on average, 81% protein, 18% lipid, and 1% carbohydrate. Sample B contained 85% lipid, 10% protein, and 5% carbohydrate. Sketch a graph of the class data. You now have to make a logical conclusion as to which sample is more likely to be intestine and which is adipose tissue. What do you conclude, and why?

: A bar graph would be appropriate, as in the figure below. The presence of digestive enzymes and membrane transporters in small intestine cells indicate there should be a significant amount of protein present. Adipose cells, on the other hand, are relatively inactive and can passively absorb lipids by way of simple diffusion through the membrane phospholipids. Adipose tissue is expected, therefore, to consist primarily of lipids. Sample A is most likely small intestine, and sample B adipose. Section Title: Tissues of the Body Learning Outcome: 3.6

Which organ systems are affected? How is this disease treated? How long do cystic fibrosis patients normally live? What are some of the possible causes of death related to this disease? What is the cause of cystic fibrosis?

: Active transport of chloride is impaired, in the airways, sweat glands, and pancreas. The affected epithelia are involved in production of sweat and mucus. Thus the respiratory, integumentary, and digestive systems are affected. Treatments include replacement of pancreatic digestive enzymes, which are blocked from secretion by the mucus buildup in secretory ducts, and respiratory therapies to loosen mucus in the airways and treat recurring infections. Gene therapy is being explored as well. Median survival is 37 years as of the publication date of the textbook. Causes of death can be related to malnutrition and respiratory illness.

Relate your answers to the energy hill concept from the previous chapter. A. Passive transport requires energy. B. Active transport requires energy. C. Vesicular transport requires energy.

: All forms of transport require energy, because something is being moved. A. Passive transport uses the thermal energy present in the living cell to move molecules in the energetically favorable downhill direction (with concentration gradients). B. Active transport uses the energy transferred by the ATP molecule, to move molecules in the energetically unfavorable uphill direction (against concentration gradients). C.

: All of these structures have epithelial tissue that is reproducing at a rapid rate. Because they undergo mitosis so often if a failure of apoptosis occurs or if a mutation alters the DNA of one of the cells, the new copies of the existing cells will cause an increase in the cancerous cells at a much faster rate than in other tissues that divide at a much slower rate.

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 118) Explain how these statements differ, and identify which one(s) is/are correct. Explain what is wrong with each incorrect statement. Explain when chemical reactions continue and when they stop. A. A chemical reaction proceeds until the enzyme molecules are all consumed. B. A chemical reaction proceeds until the substrate molecules are all consumed. C. A chemical reaction proceeds until equilibrium is established. D. A chemical reaction proceeds until all the product molecules are removed.

: B and C are correct as written, but B requires some clarification. A is incorrect because enzyme molecules are not consumed in chemical reactions and will continue to be active until acted upon by environmental conditions (temperature, pH, or modifiers). B is correct only when the product is removed from the system. If the product remains, the enzyme will reach equilibrium where the ratio of substrate to product is constant (Correct Answer C). In D, if the product of the reaction is removed, the reaction would continue to proceed to form new product (assuming enzymes and substrates are available). Chemical reactions continue if conditions are favorable, including presence of substrate and enzyme and fairly constant temperature and pH. In living systems, most chemical reactions do not have a steady supply of substrate; for example, the chemical reactions of digestion will stop when the small intestine is empty.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 132) Your swimming buddy Mark jumped into a pool parallel to the water surface. When he stood up, he yelled "ouch" and you noticed that the skin on his chest and belly looked red and irritated. How would you describe the properties of water to explain to Mark why this happened? Why doesn't it hurt when pool water is penetrated perpendicular to the surface, as with a hands-first or feet-first dive?

: Because Mark was parallel to the water surface, the force of his mass was spread out over a relatively large area of the water, making the force per unit water lower than in a typical dive. The surface tension of water, while not strong enough to keep Mark from penetrating the water surface, was strong enough to momentarily resist him. The force of the water pushing back on Mark, however briefly, was enough to cause pain. In a typical dive position, the force of Mark's entire mass is spread only over a tiny area of the water, and thus the force per unit water surface is greater. This higher force is sufficient to immediately break the hydrogen bonds and overcome the surface tension. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.3

: Because the kidney is failing to filter particles out of the blood effectively, the plasma becomes hypertonic or hyperosmotic in comparison to the intracellular compartment of the blood cell. Since the cell membrane is impermeable to the ions, but permeable to water, water will leave the cell to try to balance the tonicity and osmolarity with the plasma and in the process the cell will shrink.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 137) Explain how it is possible for an enzyme to catalyze a chemical reaction in two different directions.

: Both the substrate and product have a 3-D shape complementary to the active site of the enzyme. In a synthesis reaction between two organic monomers, the enzyme holds the substrates in a position that greatly increases the likelihood of bond formation between them, and as the bond forms to produce a dimer, the affinity of the enzyme for the substrates increases. The dimer is also complementary to the active site of the enzyme, and if a dimer molecule happens to bind to the enzyme, becoming the substrate, the bond between the monomers becomes strained as the intermediate is formed and can break. If this happens, the reaction is a degradation and the products are the monomers. The tightest binding is between the enzyme and the intermediate form, different in structure compared to either the substrates or the product. Thus it is equally likely that the reaction will be a synthesis or a degradation, if no other factors are considered. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 101) Compare and contrast primary active transport and secondary active transport, noting any special differences.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 81) Brain cells are able to absorb glucose independent of insulin. What must be missing from brain cells compared to most other cell types? One of the risks of diabetes mellitus is diabetic coma, which results when insufficient glucose is available to the brain. Would you expect diabetic coma to be triggered when insulin is low or high? Explain. (Hint: Think about regulation of the number of glucose transporters in brain cells and how the hyperglycemia present prior to insulin treatment may affect transporters.)

: Brain cells lack the insulin receptors that stimulate glucose uptake, because an insulin-independent mechanism for glucose uptake is present. Brain cells will down-regulate their glucose transporters during periods of hyperglycemia. When insulin levels increase during treatment of type I diabetes, promoting lower concentrations of glucose in the blood, this can trigger diabetic coma because the brain cells have too few glucose transporters for the new, lower levels of blood glucose.

Explain to her how they are related to each other and how they are different from other categories of connective tissue.

: Dense fibrous connective tissue is a category of connective tissue, distinct from loose, adipose, blood, bone, and cartilage. It is not as dense as cartilage and bone but is denser than the other types listed. Like loose connective tissues, fibroblasts are the primary cell type, but unlike loose, the matrix consists of relatively more protein fibers and less ground substance. Like bone and cartilage, the fibers are primarily collagen. The fibers can be arranged randomly (irregular) or parallel to each other (regular). Tendons and ligaments are both composed of dense fibrous connective tissue. Tendons attach muscles to bones, whereas ligaments attach bones to bones; tendons lack elastic fibers, but they are present in ligaments; therefore ligaments are slightly stretchy.

Assuming she has learned and understood some basic chemistry, what is the likely source of her confusion? Review the definitions of these terms, then make a table or flow chart to help her sort this out.

: Her confusion may arise from the fact that all of these terms describe a structure that has either gained or lost something. An ion is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons and thus bears an electrical charge. Ions form when salts dissolve in water and are required for normal cell function. An ion's charge affects both its behavior in solution and its chemical reactivity. An isotope is an atom that has gained or lost one or more neutrons; as neutrons lack a charge, isotopes remain neutral. Some isotopes emit radiation, a type of energy, rendering them both useful and dangerous; compared to ions, they are rare in nature. A free radical is an atom or molecule that has at least one unpaired electron (an electron is more stable if paired with another electron). Free radicals can be either electrically charged (e.g., superoxide) or neutral (e.g., hydroxy), depending upon the total number of protons and electrons present. Because free radicals are unstable, they are highly reactive and disruptive to cell function; compared to ions, they are rare in the body. Neither isotopes nor free radicals are known to be required for normal cell function. Section Title: Molecules and Bonds Learning Outcome: 2.2

Assuming he has learned and understood the basic chemistry, what is the likely source of his confusion? To help him sort this out, make a table or flow chart to explain the structure of these molecules and their relationship to each other.

: His confusion probably stems from the fact that both proteins and nucleic acids are classified as macromolecules, and both are assembled by covalently bonding certain monomers in a particular order. Also, nucleic acids contain the information necessary for manufacturing proteins, the term acid is used in describing the structure of both nucleic acids and proteins, and both nucleic acids and proteins must contain nitrogen. The monomer of protein is the amino acid, which has a central carbon, a variable chain denoted as R, and a nitrogen-containing amino group. There are 20 naturally occurring amino acids. The monomer of the nucleic acid is the nucleotide, which has a sugar attached to a nitrogen-containing base, and a phosphate. There are five different bases and two different sugars. The sequence of bases in a DNA or RNA molecule determines the sequence of amino acids in the protein. Section Title: Molecules and Bonds Learning Outcome: 2.1

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 124) Water striders are insects that literally walk on water. These insects are frequently found living on ponds. If hydrogen bonds did not exist, how would this affect the life of water striders?

: Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the surface tension of water, the attractive force between water molecules that can make it difficult to separate them. The surface tension is strong enough to support the weight of water striders thus allowing them to walk on water. If water molecules could not form hydrogen bonds, the water striders would not be able to walk on water because there would be no surface tension to support their weight. Therefore, these insects would have to adapt to terrestrial conditions near ponds or lakes rather than living on them. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.4

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 146) Bovine insulin is composed of 30 amino acids. What is the minimum number of DNA triplets in the insulin gene, based on the amino acid length? What is the minimum number of DNA bases in the coding region? Explain how and why the actual number of triplets in the gene may differ.

: Ignoring stop and start codons, RNA splicing, and post-translational modification, a peptide of 30 amino acids is specified by 30 triplets. As a triplet is 3 bases in length, this means a minimum of 90 DNA bases (30 triplets × 3 bases per triplet) is present in the insulin gene. The actual number of triplets and bases is higher, because the gene starts and ends with start and stop sequences, some of the mRNA codons are excised prior to translation and peptide sequence, and furthermore post-translational modification of the peptide may remove additional amino acids. Thus the number of amino acids in the peptide is related to gene length but doesn't allow precise calculation of gene length. Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.6

: In any tissue, the extracellular matrix consists of two basic components: proteoglycans and insoluble proteins. The matrix plays an important role in processes ranging from growth and development to cell death. The matrix aids in cell communication with its environment by attaching to the cell membrane or cytoskeleton. Section Title: Tissues of the Body Learning Outcome: 3.6

: In osmoles, solution a is 0.3 OsM and solution b is 0.3 OsM (because sodium and chloride dissociate into separate particles). The solutions are isosmotic, and there is no net water flow. Section Title: Protein-Mediated Transport Learning Outcome: 5.3

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 158) Apoptosis and necrosis are described as the two ways cells die. Which one is "messy"? Which is "tidy"? Explain. Why do these forms of cell death exist? What are some advantages and/or disadvantages of each? Use the lining cells of the digestive tract in an example of an advantageous process.

: Necrosis is a result of damage to cells. The cells swell and rupture, and the enzymes that are released cause damage to other cells in the area; hence the descriptor "messy." Necrosis has the disadvantage of damaging cells that might otherwise have survived unscathed. Necrosis is not an advantageous process, but it is unavoidable because trauma to cells is unavoidable; we all get hurt sometimes. Apoptosis is "tidy" in that the cells do not rupture and release damaging enzymes; instead the cell breaks up into membrane-surrounded pieces that are consumed by immune cells. Apoptosis is advantageous in that it can shape a structure such as fingers and toes during development. In the case of the digestive tract, the harsh chemical environment would lead to frequent necrosis if it weren't for the programmed apoptosis occurring every day or so. Section Title: Tissue Remodeling Learning Outcome: 3.6

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 145) Define and distinguish between necrosis and apoptosis, and give specific examples of each.

: Necrosis is cell death as a result of damage from toxins, physical trauma, or lack of oxygen; damaged cells release chemicals that may damage neighboring cells. An example is death of skin cells as a result of sunburn. Apoptosis is programmed cell death, which is an internally regulated process and does not involve neighboring cells unless they too are so programmed. An example is the loss of skin webbing between fingers and toes in a fetus. Section Title: Tissue Remodeling Learning Outcome: 3.6

: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, prevent inflammation. They have side effects such as bleeding in the stomach. Section Title: Novel Signal Molecules Learning Outcome: 6.6

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 144) Nurse Cameron has been asked to mix an isotonic intravenous solution for an emergency room patient who has lost a lot of blood. The available solutes include glucose (m.w. 180), NaCl (m.w. 58.5), and urea (m.w. 60). How should she make up 10 L of IV solution with an osmolarity of 290 mOsm (isosmotic), making sure that it will also be isotonic?

: Nurse Cameron should make her solution contain only nonpenetrating solutes, i.e., she should use NaCl but not glucose or urea. 10 L (0.290 Osmoles/L) (1 mole NaCl/2 Osmoles) (58.5 g/1 mole NaCl) = 84.8 g NaCl. She should add 84.8 g NaCl to about 9.5 L distilled water, mix until dissolved, adjust the pH if necessary to 7.4, then add more water to a final volume of 10 L.

Your robot needs to be able to respond to painful stimuli like stepping on broken glass. What type of human control system will you model your robot's after and explain your reasons for choosing it.

: One should choose the nervous system and a simple neural reflex because of its ability to rapidly respond and remove the robot from potential harm. The response will be specific for the region in harm and the robot will get a sense of the intensity of pain via a change in the frequency of signaling. Section Title: Homeostatic Reflex Pathways Learning Outcome: 6.8

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 121) Based on the facts about chemical equilibria in animal systems, indicate for each summary reaction below if it is reversible or irreversible (don't worry about balancing the reactions). Explain the lack of reversibility. In what kind of system would the reaction(s) you selected as irreversible be reversible? Explain. A. C6H12O6 → CO2 + H2O B. ADP + Pi → ATP C. H2O + CO2 → H2CO3

: Only A is irreversible in animal systems. The products are rapidly removed from the system as soon as they are formed, so they are not recombined. This reaction is reversible in plants, which form and store glucose for food, but also need to use some of the glucose to make ATP. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 117) Explain how these statements differ, and identify which one(s) is/are correct. Explain what is wrong with each incorrect statement. A. A chemical reaction is at equilibrium when there is no further change in substrates. B. A chemical reaction is at equilibrium when the amounts of substrates and product no longer change. C. A chemical reaction stops when it reaches equilibrium. D. A chemical reaction is at equilibrium when the amount of substrate equals the amount of product.

: Only B is correct as written. A could be corrected by clarifying that it is concentration or amount of substrate that ceases to change; individual molecules can form or break at any given time, but the overall amount will not change because synthesis will be balanced by degradation. C is incorrect because the reactions continue as long as conditions such as presence of catalysts, favorable temperature, and presence of substrates are maintained. As a given enzyme can both synthesize and degrade, both processes will continue even at equilibrium. D is incorrect because at equilibrium there is no net change in amounts, but it is not necessary for concentrations of substrates and products to be the same as each other. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 124) Define osmolarity and tonicity. How are they similar? How are they different?

: Osmolarity refers to the concentration of individual particles in solution. Tonicity refers to the behavior of a cell in a solution. They are similar in that both are related to particles in solution. They are different in that osmolarity depends only on the total concentration of particles in solution, whereas tonicity depends on nature of the particles (i.e., are they penetrating or nonpenetrating) as well as on the concentration of the different particles. Section Title: Osmosis and Tonicity Learning Outcome: 5.3

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 111) Explain the five rules for diffusion and the two rules for simple diffusion across a membrane.

: See Table 5.1 in the chapter. Section Title: Osmosis and Tonicity Learning Outcome: 5.5

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 90) Explain how the body can be in a state of osmotic equilibrium and chemical disequilibrium.

: Osmotic equilibrium occurs because water moves freely between most cells and the extracellular fluid. Water will continue to move across membranes into more highly concentrated compartments until the concentrations (solute/volume) are equal, hence osmotic equilibrium. Osmotic equilibrium does not take into account what particles are present in each compartment, just the total number. The key is that water moves freely but the solutes do not. Na+ and Cl- are more highly concentrated in the ECF while K+ and many anions are more highly concentrated inside the cell. Each ion is in chemical disequilibrium because it is not evenly distributed between the two compartments. Although the compartments are chemically different (chemical disequilibrium), when all solutes in one compartment are compared to all the solutes in another compartment they have the same total concentrations of solutes (are in osmotic equilibrium).

Identify and explain the mnemonic device provided in the text for oxidation and reduction reactions. See if you can make one up yourself.

: Oxidation-reduction reactions occur when electrons are transferred from one molecule to another. The molecule that is oxidized in the reaction loses electrons while the reduced molecule gains electrons. OIL RIG (oxidation is loss, reduction is gain) is the mnemonic provided in the textbook. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.3

: Level I: Reviewing Facts and Terms (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 93) Describe the four types of enzymatic reactions.

: Oxidation-reduction reactions transfer electrons or protons between substrates. Hydrolysis-dehydration reactions form or break a chemical bond between organic substrates by removing or adding a water molecule. Transfer reactions (Addition-subtraction-exchange reactions) add, remove, or exchange a functional group (phosphate or amino groups) among the substrates. Ligation reactions join molecules using the energy from an ATP molecule. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.3

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 129) Your roommate is not a science major but is interested in science and asks you to verify a rumor he has heard: it is theoretically possible for two people to walk through each other without causing harm. Confirm or refute what he has heard, and explain.

: People are composed of molecules, which are in turn composed of atoms. Each atom is mostly empty space, because the protons, neutrons, and electrons are extremely tiny, and the electrons are relatively distant from each other and from the nucleus. A scientist acknowledges that there is often a finite probability, however small, that a very unlikely event could happen. If all of each person's subatomic particles were aligned just right, they could move through the other person's empty atomic space. This is so unlikely as to be practically impossible, however.

: Peripheral Section Title: Biological Membranes Learning Outcome: 3.2

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 143) Give three examples of structures whose formation involves molecular interactions that either increase or decrease contact with water molecules, explaining how they are similar and how they differ from each other. (Hint: They all involve molecules that have both polar and nonpolar portions.)

: Phospholipids have a polar portion that is attracted to water and a nonpolar portion that repels water. The molecules orient in water such that water is excluded from contacting the nonpolar portions. This is seen in: the bilayer arrangement of phospholipids in cell membranes, in which hydrophobic tails are in the middle of the layer; micelles, in which a single layer of phospholipids forms a sphere with the hydrophobic tails in the middle; and liposomes, which are hollow spheres made from phospholipid bilayers that can be filled with water-soluble molecules. Section Title: Biological Membranes Learning Outcome: 3.2

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 130) Define polar covalent, nonpolar covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonding. Which of these bonds involves more than one molecule? Which of these bonds is/are important in determining the properties of water? Explain.

: Polar covalent bonds occur within a single molecule that shares electrons unequally; i.e., the constantly orbiting electrons spend more time at some locations and less at others. Nonpolar covalent bonds occur within a single molecule that shares electrons equally; i.e., the probability of an electron occupying a particular location is the same at all locations. Ionic bonds occur within a single molecule in which one atom completely loses an electron to another, causing each to develop an opposite charge; it is this electrical attraction that holds the molecule together. Hydrogen bonding occurs between separate molecules that contain polar covalent bonds; where electrons spend more time the molecule is partially negative, and where electrons spend less time the molecule is partially positive. The ends of different molecules are thus electrically attracted to each other. Water is a polar covalent molecule, with the oxygen end being partially negative and attracted to the partially positive hydrogen portions of other water molecules. Hydrogen-bonding between water molecules is responsible for surface tension and the crystalline structure of ice. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.4

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 133) If someone has a muscle cramp or spasm, a commonly discussed treatment is to consume a banana (or another food high in potassium). Why would this be a possible treatment for muscle cramps or spasms?

: Potassium is a cation that leaves the cell during an action potential or depolarization of a muscle or nerve cell, and the muscle or nerve cell needs to move potassium back into the cell to allow the cell to repolarize and relax. If there is a deficiency in potassium, muscle and nerve cells may take longer to repolarize and therefore relax, so increasing your dietary intake of potassium may help cells repolarize quicker. Section Title: The Resting Membrane Potential Learning Outcome: 5.14

: Level I: Reviewing Facts and Terms (Bloom's Taxonomy: Knowledge) 90) Compare and contrast potential energy with kinetic energy.

: Potential energy is the energy an object has stored in its position, while kinetic energy is energy associated with a moving object/movement. Section Title: Energy in Biological Systems Learning Outcome: 4.1

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 146) What is the difference between cell movements in response to outside forces and cell-generated movements (in response to specific cell activity)? (Hint: Do red blood cells move because of RBC activity? What causes cell movements associated with cytokinesis?) Using the index of your text to guide you to relevant sections in other chapters (look up entries for the various cytoskeletal proteins), explain the different types of movements that cells generate.

: Red blood cells and other cells in circulation move because they are suspended in a flowing fluid (blood or lymph); the axon of a nerve cell in the arm will move when the arm moves. Cell-generated movements involve the activity of actin microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules, and myosin thick filaments (in muscle). The processes of chromosome alignment during mitosis/meiosis, cytoplasmic pinching during cytokinesis, beating of cilia and flagella, endocytosis and exocytosis, and muscle contraction are all examples of cell-generated movements. Section Title: Intracellular Compartments Learning Outcome: 3.6

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 133) How is the single-stranded mRNA that leaves the nucleus translated into proteins?

: Ribosomes have two subunits (large and small) that are composed of proteins and rRNA. The small subunits binds to the mRNA followed by the large subunit which sandwiches the mRNA. The tRNA (contains the anticodon and associated amino acid) binds to the complementary mRNA. A second tRNA arrives for the next codon and, via dehydration synthesis, a peptide bond is formed between amino acids, which releases the first tRNA from the mRNA and allows the next tRNA to bind. This process continues until the stop codon is reached. Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.6

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 102) Explain the process of secondary active transport and how it uses ATP.

: Secondary active transport uses the energy released from moving one molecule down its concentration gradient to push other molecules against their concentration gradient.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) You are walking to school one day when you notice an alien spaceship that has crashed in a nearby field. You and some other physiology students collect samples from the beings inside of the spaceship. First, you collect a liquid sample of what appears to be alien blood so that you can test for the concentration of solutes inside the alien blood cells. You then extract some of these cells, place them in various concentrations of glucose in water, then look at them under the microscope. Below is what happens to the cells when they are placed in various concentrations of glucose: Percent Glucose in Water Condition of Alien Blood Cells 0.02% cells lyse 0.05% cells lyse 0.10% cells lyse 0.12% cells crenate (shrivel up) 0.20% cells crenate Table 5.1 135) Refer to Table 5.1. From cells located in another part of the alien's body, you find that the protein-to-lipid ratio of the cell membrane is about 20% protein, 78% lipid, and 2% carbohydrate. Assuming the aliens use their cells as Earthlings do, and have the same terrestrial physiology, what is the most likely function of these cells?

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 125) If the dissociation constant of a protein is less than one (Kd < 1), what can you conclude about the affinity of the protein for the ligand?

: Since Kd < 1, you know that [P][L] < [PL]. Therefore, at equilibrium, there is a higher concentration of protein-ligand complex suggesting that the protein has a relatively high binding affinity for the ligand. Section Title: Protein Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.10

: Since gases must diffuse across the alveoli and associated capillaries you would expect to find exchange epithelia, composed of very thin cells (simple squamous epithelium). Thicker types of epithelial cells would slow the process of gas diffusion to and from the blood. Section Title: Tissues of the Body Learning Outcome: 3.8

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 151) During a lab practical, Kevin examines a tissue that is composed of densely packed protein fibers that are running parallel and form a cord. There are few nuclei and no striations, and there is no evidence of other cellular structures. Kevin identifies the tissue as skeletal muscle. Why is Kevin's choice wrong, and what tissue is he probably observing?

: Skeletal muscle tissue is made up of densely packed fibers running in the same direction, but since muscle fibers are composed of cells, they would have many nuclei and mitochondria. Skeletal muscle also has an obvious banding pattern or striations due to the arrangement of the actin and myosin filaments within the cell. Kevin is probably looking at a slide of tendon (dense connective tissue). Section Title: Tissues of the Body Learning Outcome: 3.7

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 160) Stem cell research has become a political topic in the last few decades. Explain why the research is being done, why some cells are favored for this research over others, and what the factors are that cause some people not to support this type of research. Are any alternatives available that are less opposed?

: Stem cell therapy may remedy previously untreatable diseases and conditions such as those involving brain and spinal injury. It has become political because one source of stem cells that are highly desirable for research is those removed from human embryos and fetuses. These cells are less differentiated and therefore more likely to be able to yield the specific types of mature cells desired. Many people opposed to abortions of human pregnancies are opposed to the use of human embryos and fetuses as a source of stem cells because these embryos and fetuses are destroyed in the process. Use of umbilical cord blood from live births is less opposed, though these cells are somewhat limited in the types of cells they can produce and therefore may not be valuable for treating as large a variety of diseases and injuries. Section Title: Tissue Remodeling Learning Outcome: 3.6

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 80) Blood glucose levels are kept fairly steady in healthy people through the action of the hormones insulin and glucagon. Insulin decreases blood glucose by promoting glucose uptake by cells, whereas glucagon increases blood glucose by promoting release of glucose from cells. Describe these hormone actions as simple reflex pathways, identifying the stimulus, integrating center, efferent pathway, and response.

: Stimulus: increased blood glucose. Integrating center: endocrine cell (in pancreas). Efferent pathway: insulin secretion. Response: increased cellular uptake of glucose. Feedback: negative. Stimulus: decreased blood glucose. Integrating center: endocrine cell (in pancreas). Efferent pathway: glucagon secretion. Response: release of glucose from cells. Feedback: negative. Section Title: Homeostatic Reflex Pathways Learning Outcome: 6.8

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 135) Define substrate and product. Are these definitions relative or absolute, and why?

: Substrates are chemicals that bind to the enzyme and are altered (bonds formed and/or broken), producing a product. A product is the result of enzyme action on substrates. These terms are relative because chemical reactions are reversible. Example: if two monomers bind to the enzyme and form a dimer, the monomers are the substrates and the dimer is the product. If instead the dimer binds to the enzyme and splits to form two monomers, the monomers are the products and the dimer is the substrate. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.2

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 141) Describe the anatomical and fluid compartments of the body. How do the lumens of hollow organs fit into these classifications? Which fluid-containing cavities are considered to be internal and which are external? Of those that are external, why are they external (give examples)? You may wish to design a flow chart to help answer this.

: The anatomical compartments are the cranial cavity, containing the brain; the thoracic cavity, containing the heart and lungs; and the abdominopelvic cavity, containing organs of the digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. The fluid compartments are the intracellular fluid (inside the cells) and the extracellular fluid (outside the cells). The extracellular fluids are found in the interstitial fluid between cells and the plasma of the blood, which is in the lumen of the circulatory system. Lumens of hollow organs such as the digestive and urinary tracts are part of the external environment, whereas the intracellular and interstitial fluids are internal. The lumen of the circulatory system is also internal. External lumens are those that open to the outside environment. These openings include the mouth, nostrils, anus, urethral and vaginal orifices. Section Title: Functional Compartments of the Body Learning Outcome: 3.1

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 146) Using NaCl to illustrate, explain atomic mass and molecular mass, and an estimated and true mass of one molecule. Your explanation should include the appropriate measurement unit for each, and why the estimated and true masses are not exactly identical.

: The atomic mass is the actual mass of an atom, expressed in atomic mass units (amu) or daltons (Da), where 1 amu = 1.6 × 10-27 kg. Because most of the mass of an atom is contributed by the protons and neutrons, each of which is about 1 amu, the mass can be estimated by counting the number of these particles. The number of protons and neutrons is roughly equal, so the atomic number can simply be doubled to estimate the atomic mass. From the atomic number (see the periodic table) the estimated atomic mass of sodium is 22 amu and of chloride is 34 amu. The mass of a molecule (usually expressed in Da instead of amu) of NaCl is 22 + 34 = 56 Da. From the periodic table, the true weight of Cl is actually closer to 36 amu and of Na is 23 amu, so the true mass of NaCl is closer to 59 Da. There are two reasons why the estimated and actual are not the same: the mass of protons and neutrons is actually greater than one, and the number of neutrons may be more or less than double the number of protons.

: The cell has two separate membrane transport molecules, one specific for glucose and the other for fructose. The transporters become saturated somewhere between the concentrations of 0.5 mM and 1.0 mM, thus any higher concentration of these sugars produces no further increase in transport.

: The cytoskeleton consists of actin microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules and forms a scaffold throughout the cytoplasm. An interesting feature is that some of the proteins are relatively fixed in position, whereas others can be rapidly assembled or disassembled as necessary. The functions include providing mechanical strength and shape, stabilizing position of organelles, intracellular transport system, functional linkage to other cells and to extracellular space, and cell-generated movements.

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 114) What is the induced-fit model? List the types of bonds involved and classify them as strong or weak.

: The interaction between a protein binding site and a ligand that are in close proximity results in a conformational change of the protein to fit more closely to the ligand. The bonds involved are hydrogen (weak), ionic (strong), and van der Waals (weak). Section Title: Protein Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.8

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 148) What is the benefit of having some of the cellular organelles enclosed by a membrane similar to the cell (plasma) membrane?

: The isolation of the internal contents of membrane-bound organelles allows them to manufacture or store secretions, enzymes, or toxins that could adversely affect the cytoplasm in general. Another benefit is the increased efficiency of having specialized enzyme systems concentrated in one place, for example, those necessary for energy production in the mitochondrion. In addition, the membranes themselves serve as "workspace," allowing the anchoring of enzymes or other proteins into a stabilized location. Section Title: Biological Membranes Learning Outcome: 3.2

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 132) Once the mRNA for a particular gene has been transcribed, how is the mRNA that will be released from the nucleus processed?

: The mRNA that is initially transcribed contains regions that are not part of the protein that will be translated. These noncoding regions of mRNA (introns) are removed from the mRNA by splicing. The mRNA then only contains the coding sequences (exons) that can be released from the nucleus to be translated by the ribosome. Due to alternative splicing, the structure of the protein can be different which leads to isoforms of a protein. Section Title: Metabolism Learning Outcome: 4.6

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 145) Carbon dioxide and water readily combine to form carbonic acid. The change in pH as the acid dissociates can be demonstrated with an indicator dye that changes color at a particular pH. Following this lab in which the color of the solution was observed to change, one lab group forgot to dump the beakers at the end of the lab period. The next day would you expect the beakers to look the same as they did after being bubbled with CO2? If not, explain in terms of reversible reactions and equilibrium disturbance.

: The next day, the solutions had changed back to their original color (before being bubbled with CO2). The carbon dioxide dissipated over night, driving the reaction back in the reverse direction, because the amount of substrate changed. This caused the pH to increase again, above the level required to maintain the color change. Section Title: Enzymes Learning Outcome: 4.1

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 91) Explain why the composition of the phospholipid bilayer determines how readily water passes through it.

: The phospholipid bilayer is a fluid mosaic and, depending on the function of the cell, contains various ratios of phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins. Water molecules slip between the spaces between the fatty acid tails. Membranes with higher levels of cholesterol are less permeable to water because cholesterol fills these spaces.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 79) The fight-or-flight reaction prepares an animal to respond to a threatening situation, by either fighting or running away. One aspect of this response is changes in blood flow such that the skeletal muscles and heart receive higher blood flow (vessels dilate) while digestive organs receive less (vessels constrict). Which signal molecule(s) is/are involved in this response, and how do they produce these changes in blood vessels? Explain how this example illustrates one or more of the following concepts: multiple ligands for one receptor, multiple receptors for one ligand, agonists and antagonists.

: The signal molecules are norepinephrine and epinephrine. Both of these chemicals bind to the same adrenergic receptors (multiple ligands) and have the same effect on their receptors, so they are agonists. When alpha-adrenergic receptors are activated in digestive organs, blood vessels constrict. When beta-adrenergic receptors are activated in skeletal and cardiac muscles, blood vessels dilate (multiple receptors). Section Title: Homeostatic Reflex Pathways Learning Outcome: 6.7

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 131) Define the term transport maximum and describe a way cells can increase their transport capacity.

: The transport maximum occurs when all carrier binding sites are filled with substrate. At this point adding more substrate will no longer increase the rate of transport. In order to increase the capacity and raise the maximum rate of transport, some cells can increase the number of carrier proteins in the membrane.

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 62) Insulin increases glucose transport across the cell membrane of an adipocyte but not across the membrane of a liver cell. How can one hormone have two different effects?

: The two types of cells differ either in the receptors on their cell membranes or in the signal transduction that occurs after binding of insulin. Section Title: Homeostatic Reflex Pathways Learning Outcome: 6.5

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 147) Analysis of a single DNA strand yielded this information on amounts of some nucleotides: 43 units of cytosine and 51 units of adenine. What amounts would you expect of guanine and thymine in that strand? What amounts would you expect of all bases in the complementary strand?

: There is no way to determine the amounts of guanine and thymine in the analyzed strand based on the amounts of cytosine and adenine; the guanine and thymine would have to be determined directly. In the other strand, the amount of guanine equals the amount of cytosine in the analyzed strand, and the amount of thymine equals the amount of adenine in the analyzed strand, because of the way the bases pair to hold the strands together. Once the amounts of guanine and thymine in the first strand are determined, the amounts of cytosine and adenine can be determined in the complementary strand.
