BIOS 256 COMP Exam Questions with Verified
Correct Answers
peristalisis
alternating contraction of the muscle layers in the GI tract walls that propels materials through
the tract
How many ATP molecules are gained from the process of glycolysis?
2
glycolysis
results in a net gain of 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.
glycolysis
while 4 ATP molecules are produced, 2 ATP molecules are consumed in the initial steps resulting
in a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
high energy compound that is used by most human cells for energy transfer
nutrient absorption
most nutrient absorption in the small intestine
nutrient absorption
the small intestine is a long coiled tube in the abdomen that plays a crucial role in digestion and
nutrient absorption
, chemical digestion
the catabolic reaction that occurs when the body breaks down carbohydrates, lipids or protein
with enzymes
functions of the stomach
protein digestion and denaturation of proteins
metabolic alkalosis
a condition where the blood and body fluids contains an excess of bases, disrupting the body's
critical acid-base balance
metabolic alkalosis
the potential result for an individual that loses excess acids due to prolonged emesis (vomiting)
alkalosis
blood pH above 7.45 - blood is too alkaline
alkalosis
can be caused by either metabolic or respiratory issues
dehydration
when a person looses more water than they gain
dehydration
fluid loss is more than fluid intake leading to an insufficient amount of water and other fluids for
the body to function properly.
