- Which statement about steroids is TRUE? Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase introduces oxygen atoms into calcitriol. Cytochrome c oxidase requires cholesterol for full activity. All classes of steroid hormones have a different number of carbon atoms. Cholesterol is excreted from the organism only in the form of bile salts. All steroids are usually hydrophilic, so they can be transported without the help of lipoprotein particles.arrow_forwardPancreatic lipase is necessary to break down fats in the body.

He was diagnosed as having cholera, a disease transmitted through unsanitary water supplies contaminated by fecal material from infected indiv iduals. The toxin produced by cholera bacteria causes Cl- channels in the lurninal membranes of the intestinal cells to stay open, thereby increasing the secretion of Cl- from the cells into the intestinal tract lumen. By what mechanisms would Na+ and water be secreted into the lumen in conjunction with Cl- secretion? How does this secretory response account for the severe diarrhea that is characteristic of cholera?arrow_forward
- The pH of human stomach acid ranges from 1.0 to 3.0, whereas a healthy esophagus has a pH of approximately 7.0. In gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), often called acid reflux, stomach acid flows backward from the stomach into the esophagus. Repeated episodes in which esophageal pH goes below 4.0, considered clinical acid reflux, can result in bleeding ulcers and damage to the esophageal lining. The data in the Figure, from a patient with GERD, show esophageal pH during a sleeping reflux event. How many minutes does it take to go from the peak of the reflux event (when pH is most acidic) to when the reflux event is over? Source: Based on T. Demeester et al. 1976.
