c. Phosphate buffer - Intracellular fluids: Phosphate buffer. H2PO4(-) and HPO4(--) act as the acid and base respectively. Phosphate is abundant in cells and will act as the major intracellular buffer. - Extracellular fluid: Bicarbonate buffer, HCO3(-)/H2CO3 system

Answer 147

a. Nasal cavity, trachea, bronchus, bronchiole, alveoli

Answer 148

e. All of the above - Protozoans and sponges have contractile vacuoles. This organelle collects water from various parts of the cell and pumps it out by rhythmic contractions.

Answer 149

e. All statements are true - The main function of the large intestine (colon) is resorption of water, sodium, and other minerals. The bacteria in the large intestine produce vitamin K. These bacteria are the chief source vitamin K. Feces are stored briefly in rectum and eliminated through the anus. - The portal vein directs glucose and other monosaccharides to the liver. Thus, the large intestine functions in not only as waste storage, but also water conservation and ion regulation.

Answer 150

d. 0.01 % - Each parent has 1/50 (2 %) chance of carrying the gene. And there is 25% is the probability of having an autosomal recessive disorder. - Answer: (.02)(.02)(.25) = 0.0001 = .01 %

Answer 151

b. Capacitation - Capacitation is requried by spermatozoa in the female oviduct and uterus that allows for egg penetration. Capacitation is a functional maturation of the spermatozo. During capacitation process, physiological changes occur in the spermatozoa. These changes include changes in sperm intracellular ion concentrations, motility, and metabolism

Answer 152

e. All are correct - Cells of proximal and distal convoluted tubule are very rich in mitochondria. The proximal convolutd tubule in particular carries out much of the active reabsorption. Mitochondria supply energy for active transport. - Ammonia is waste product of aquatic animals, while birds, reptiles, and insects excrete uric acid. - insects such as the grasshopper contain malphighian tubules.

Answer 153

e. Dynein | - Dynein may also be invovled in chromosomal movement.

Answer 154

e. Cytoskeleton is found only in eukaryotic cells, and gives shape to a cell and aids in cellular movement (false) - Prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain a cytoskeleton. - Microfilaments: actin - Intermediate filaments: keratin - Microtubules: tubulin

Answer 155

a. a lymphatic vessel is most similar to that of an artery (false) - A lymphatic vessel is most similar to a vein; they have internal valves. - Thymus makes thymosin which stimulatees T-cell development. Once puberty is reached, the thymus gland shrinks and is replaced by fat. - Lysozyme is an enzyme found in tears and saliva. - Functional capacity of T-cells is most influenced by aging. After age 60, declines in the immune system are most evident.

Answer 156

c. Lysosome - Acid hydrolases are contained in the lysosome. The interior of this membrane-bound organelle has a pH of 5, and contains enzymes that hydrolyze proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. - Lysosomes are also called the "suicide bags" of the cell. Cells that are not needed anymore are destroyed in these bags or sacs.

Answer 157

Myogloin vs. hemoglobin

Answer 158

e. all are true - the skin is made up of the outermost epidermis, followed by the dermis, consisting mostly of connective tissue, hair follicles, sesnsory receptors, erector muscles, sweat, and sebaceous glands. Below the dermis is fatty tissue that serves asa cushion and an insulator. The epidermis has no blood supply, and depends on teh dermis for oxygen and nutrients. Several layers of skin make up the epidermis: stratum germinativum, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, and corneum.

Answer 159

d. The opening of heart valves causes the lub and dup sounds associated with the heart (false) - closing of the valves causes the lub dub sounds. Lub is closing of AV valves. Dup is closing of semilunar valves.

Answer 160

e. All statements are true

Answer 161

d. The curve will shift to the right - If the pH was decreased, or the temperature was increased, more oxygen would be given up. An increase in CO2 also shifts the curve to the right. If the curve is shifted to the right, it simply means more oxygen is unloaded by hemoglobin.

Answer 162

d. Active immunity that is artificially acquired - Vaccination is an immunization against a given pathogen; it is artificially acquired. Production of immunological agents begins. This process is active immunity that is artificially acquired. - If you ever recovered from chicken pox, immunity was conferred by active immunity that was naturally acquired. - antibodies may be transferred from one individual to another providing passive immunity. i.e. a preganant mother transfers antibodies across placenta (naturally acquired)

Answer 163

b. The bilayer is symmetric - inside not same as outside. - Proteins and lipids are capable of lateral movement but movement of either from one face to the other is prohibited.

Answer 164

b. Gap junction - Tight junctions seal spaces between cells -->intestinal cells. Gap junction will allow cells to exchange nutrients and for "molecular communication"

Answer 165

e. All of the above are true

Answer 166

e. All are correct | - keratin can be soft (feather) or very hard (turtles) due to disulfide bridges.

Answer 167

e. When focusing on a nearby object the ciliary muscle relaxes and flattens out (fasle) - If the ciliary muscle relaxes, the lens flattens and this allows the lens to focus on a distant object.

Answer 168

e. All statements are true - Progesterone is a steroid hormone found in both men and women and is derived from cholesterol. Studies have shown it might be involved in sperm motility. Progesterone inhibits lactation during pregnancy and allows for milk production after delivery.

Answer 169

c. Jawless fish, bony fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals - Ancestral vertebrates began with jawless fish

Answer 170

a. Amoeba - All protists are eukaryotic and most have flagells or cilia at some point in their life cycles. The euglena has a flagellum,, the paramecium has cilia, and the amoeba has pseudopodia.

Answer 171

e. All are true. - First few breaths that a newborn infant takes are extremely labored. Alveoli contain substances called surfactants which reduce the surface tension of the fluid within the infant's lungs. Once the alveoli are expanded, they tend to stay expanded and not collapse under surface tension after each breath. Therefore, collapsed lungs, surface tension, and small airways offer much resistance to air movement. Stimulation of first breath is initiated by high CO2 levels.

Answer 172

e. All are true - During inspiration, the lung volume will increase, resulting in a decrease in lung pressure compared to the atmospheric pressure. (Boyle's law). Increase in volume is brought about by contraction of the diaphragm.
