Maltase, Lactase and Sucrase are all ________________________
/| /| /| /| /| /| /|
that function as enzymes to break down their respective
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
disaccharide. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔transmembrane proteins /| /| /| /| /|
Where would you expect to find blood that is Oxygen poor, but
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
nutrient rich? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔hepatic portal vein
/| /| /| /| /| /| /|
How does glucose get into the hepatic portal system? -
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Glut2 on the basilar side of the
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
enterocytes
Lipase converts triglycerides into a monoglyceride and 2
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
molecules of fatty acids in the unstirred layer of the small
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
intestines. (t or f) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔False /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
The Na+ driven co-transporters for glucose and amino acids are
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
located on what side of the membrane? - CORRECT ANSWERS

✔✔apical
The ability to digest the milk sugar lactose is unique to
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
mammals. At the time of weaning, this gene is normally turned
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
off by a regulatory gene located upstream from the lactase
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
gene. A single base change in the regulatory gene can prevent it
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
from inactivating the lactase gene and permit the persistence of
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
, lactase expression into adulthood. These spontaneous mutations
/| /| /| /| /| /| /|
in the regulatory gene have occurred independently in several
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
human populations. About 8000 years ago such a mutation
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
occurred in one individual in central Norther Europe. This
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
individual and his or her offspring had such a selective
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
advantage that in some Northern European populations 90- 95%
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
of the population have the mutant regulatory gene. In two East
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
African cultures, singl nucleotide changes in the regulatory gene,
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
which are distinct from one another and different from the
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
European mutation, have imparted lactase persistence in these
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
populations. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔duct, from the lumen into /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|

in hepatocytes. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔hepatic portal blood,
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
glycogen
Smooth muscle concentration in the _______________ would

✔✔afferent arteriole /|
Blocking the Na+/K+/2Cl- transporter with the diuretic
/| /| /| /| /| /| /|
furosemide (Lasix) would occure in the - CORRECT ANSWERS /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|
✔✔thick segment of ascending limb /| /| /| /|
In the pulmonary capillaries, carbonic anhydrase in erythrocytes
