- liver
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Shortly after eating, there is a surplus of glucose in the body. Some of it will be used immediately, but the rest is stored in the form of glycogen. Between meals, when the level of glucose in the blood drops below a certain point, a signal is sent to the liver that says "make more glucose. " In response, the glycogen in the liver is broken down and the resulting glucose is released into the bloodstream. Q: Between meals, when the level of blood glucose drops below a certain point, a signal is sent to what organ saying "make more glucose"? A:
Answer: liver
Problem: OPTIONS:
- appetite
- reproduction
- photosynthesis
- glycolysis
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: When was the last time you enjoyed yogurt on your breakfast cereal, or had a tetanus shot? These experiences may appear unconnected, but both relate to bacteria which do not use oxygen to make ATP. In fact, tetanus bacteria cannot survive if oxygen is present. However, Lactobacillus acidophilus (bacteria which make yogurt) and Clostridium tetani (bacteria which cause tetanus or lockjaw) share with nearly all organisms the first stage of cellular respiration, glycolysis ( Figure below ). Because glycolysis is universal, whereas aerobic (oxygen-requiring) cellular respiration is not, most biologists consider it to be the most fundamental and primitive pathway for making ATP. Q: What is the first stage of cellular respiration called? A:
Answer: glycolysis
Problem: OPTIONS:
- triple bond
- last bond
- single bond
- double bond
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Which of the following statements is false? a. Molecules with the formulas CH3CH2COOH and C3H6O2 could be structural isomers. Molecules must have a double bond to be cis-trans isomers. To be enantiomers, a molecule must have at least three different atoms or groups connected to a central carbon. To be enantiomers, a molecule must have at least four different atoms or groups connected to a central carbon. In triglycerides (fats and oils), long carbon chains known as fatty acids may contain double bonds, which can be in either the cis or trans configuration, illustrated in Figure 2.25. Fats with at least one double bond between carbon atoms are unsaturated fats. When some of these bonds are in the cis configuration, the resulting bend in the carbon backbone of the chain means that triglyceride molecules cannot pack tightly, so they remain liquid (oil) at room temperature. On the other hand, triglycerides with trans double bonds (popularly called trans fats), have relatively linear fatty acids that are able to. Q: What must molecules have to be cis-trans isomers? A:
Answer:
double bond
