Many distance runners “carb load” the day before a big race. How does this eating strategy provide an advantage to the runner? a. The carbohydrates cause the release of insulin. b. The excess carbohydrates are converted to fats, which have a higher calorie density. c. The glucose from the carbohydrates lets the muscles make excess ATP overnight. d. The excess carbohydrates can be stored in the muscles as glycogen.

An increase in calcium concentration can be associated with an increase in stomach acidity. This process is similar to the processes involved in neurotransmitter and insulin release. How is calcium associated with increased stomach acid? a. Calcium binds to the alpha subunit of a G protein activating proton pumps already on the membrane. b. Calcium is pumped out of the cell by an ATPase and as a result this lowers the pH of the gut. c. Calcium influx into the cell allows vesicles containing proton pumps on their membranes to fuse with the cellular membrane. d. Calcium influx into the cell allows vesicles filled with protons to fuse with the cellular membrane. e. Calcium binds to acetylcholine receptors on Parietal cells and opens gated proton channels releasing protons from the cytoplasm to outside the cell.
