Can you answer all the parts to following question, true or false:
Q31:
A: Complex carbohydrates are broken down by carboxylases in both the mouth and the small intestine (True or False)
B: Glycolysis requires the input of energy in order to release energy from glucose (True or False)
C: Anorexic hormones signal the body that it is in a fed state (True or False)
D: The dependence of hunger on the ratio between insulin and glucagon is an example of signal integration (True or False)
After a meal that contains carbohydrates, blood glucose levels usually rise gradually as carbohydrates are digested and the resulting monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream. Suppose you run a test on a human with no lactase production. You would provide a dose (e.g., 25 grams) of lactose and measure changes in blood glucose levels over the next three hours. Predict how blood glucose levels would change from fasting to three hours. Justify your response using the results from the above simulation.
Which question will your experiment investigate? (select one and delete the others)
How does temperature affect how lactase drops work to break down lactose into glucose and
galactose?
What variable will you change in this experiment? This is also called the Independent variable.
How will you change it?
What variable will you measure in this experiment to determine the effect of the variable you
changed? This is also called the Dependent variable.
How will you measure it?
The temperature is the variable that would be changed and it would be changed by placing
the milk in a hot bath and another one in an ice bath
What variables will you keep the same in this experiment?
milk (lactase)
Check off the items in this list that you would use for this experiment. You may add any items
you feel you would need.
O skim milk (which contains lactose)
O Lactase drops
O Graduated cylinder
O Eye dropper
O Ice cubes
O pH paper
O Hot plate
O Mixing spoon
O Thermometer
O Vinegar (acidic)

- Another student places some of the bread from their sandwich near these objects and leaves them overnight. The next day, they notice that some of the bread is gone and decide that these are living things and they ate the bread. Which is the best evaluation of their argument? (a) They are wrong, some living things eat food, but others get energy in other ways. (b) they are mostly wrong. Plants don’t need energy or food, they survive off of heat from light. These could be plants (c) They are somewhat correct. Some living things eat food, but others don’t need energy to survive (d) They are correct. All living things need energy and they must have eaten their bread.arrow_forwardPeople can actually die by attempting to remove all carbohydrates from their diets. Some twenty years ago a well-known diet (the Adkins-diet) was based on just such a philosophy; the complete removal of carbohydrates from ones' diet. While no statistics are available, relating to the numbers of individuals that actually died due to their adherence to the diet, it has been well established that the diet can and has caused the death of its' participants. Which of the acids below causes physiologic and acid/base problems for individuals that cannot, for whatever reason, produce the majority of their cellular-ATP from carbohydrates? 46. А.

- Give a clear explanation handwritten answer....and need explanation of each point...arrow_forwardAlbert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893-1986) was a preeminent biochemist of his time. His work contributed to the understanding of how muscles work and how the ATP molecule provides energy to fuel a cell’s metabolism. He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering Vitamin C. In an interview with the BBC in 1965, Szent –Gyorgyi offered the following about his work: I started with anatomy, but then shifted to function and physiology studying rabbits. But then I found rabbits too complicated and shifted to bacteriology, hoping to find the secrets of life in those very small, tiny creatures. But later I found bacteria too complicated and shifted to molecules and began to study chemistry—a few years later after the war I was even condemned to be the Professor of Chemistry and taught chemistry for many years! About 15 years ago I found molecules too complex and then I shifted to electrons and quantum mechanics—the behavior of electrons.

Which question addresses the ethical concerns regarding this biotechnological method? A. Will the insulin produced by the bacteria be réadily used by humans? B. Will the insulin produced by genetically altered bacteria increase the chances of individuals becoming ill? C.
