34. If Sue consumes a balanced diet of all nutrients, which protein function will likely NOT occur in her body? a. production of energy b. production of some hormones c. production of enzymes, clotting factors, and antibodies d. formation of functional molecules like hemoglobin and cytochromes 35. The term metabolism is BEST defined as a. the length of time it takes to digest and absorb fats b. a measure of carbohydrate utilization, typically involving measurement of calories c. the number of calories it takes to keep from shivering on a cold day d. biochemical reactions involved in building cell molecules or breaking down molecules for energy 36. The primary function of cellular respiration is to a. determine the amount of heat needed by the human body b. provide the body with adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals c. efficiently monitor the energy needs of the body d. break down food molecules and generate ATP 37. The term basal metabolic rate reflects the a. energy the body needs to perform only its most essential activities b. loss of organic molecules in urine c. energy needed to make all organic molecules d. loss of energy to perspiration 38. Many factors influence basal metabolic rate. What is the most critical factor? a. the way an individual metabolizes fat b. the way skeletal muscles break down glycogen c. the ratio of surface area to volume (weight) of the body d. an individual's body weight 39. Which hormone causes glucose to enter tissue cells during the absorptive state of metabolism? a. growth hormone b. thyroid hormone c. epinephrine d. insulin 40. Which of the choices is NOT a mechanism of heat production? a. vasoconstriction of cutaneous blood vessels b. shivering c. sweating d. enhanced thyroxine release 41. Heat-loss mechanisms do NOT include a. reducing activity b. the evaporation of sweat c. behavior measures such as wearing light, loose clothing d. vasoconstriction of peripheral blood vessels

Amber is a 15-year-old female athlete. She was scheduled to compete in 6 events at her school track and field day on an unusually hot day with an ambient temperature of 98 degrees Fahrenheit. She was running late to the track meet and drank 2 cups of sweetened iced coffee and ate 2 donuts on the way. While at the meet, she drank 4 sugary energy drinks, each with the same caffeine content as the 2 cups of coffee she had for breakfast because she thought it would boost her performance. 1. Despite the hot outside temperature, Amber found herself having to urinate more than usual. Which statement explains this phenomenon best? a. Caffeine increases GFR and increases sodium reabsorption b. Caffeine decreases GFR and decreases sodium reabsorption c. Caffeine decreases GFR and increases sodium reabsorption d. Caffeine increases GFR and decreases sodium reabsorption Which part of the nephron is under the effects of hormones which manipulate electrolyte and water reabsorption? a. Nephron loop b. PCT c. Glomerulus d. PCT/CD Amber's afternoon schedule of events was very busy and she did not have time to eat or drink anything more. When she urinated prior to her 2 pm race, her urine was very dark yellow, as a result of very concentrated urine. When urine is concentrated, which hormone(s) would be stimulated? a. ADH and Aldosterone b. ANP and aldosterone c. Aldosterone and epinephrine d. Epinephrine and ANP What specialized receptors would monitor filtrate for increased solute load/ osmolarity? a. Macula densa b. JG cells c. Mesangial cells d. Glomerulus

13. When heat gain in the body exceeds heat loss, hyperthermia may result. When temperature reduction mechanisms cannot keep pace with a rise in body temperature, heat exhaustion may result. This condition is characterized by cool, wet skin as well as weakness, dizziness, and nausea. A more serious condition, heat stroke, results from an increased hypothalamic set point. It is characterized by dry, flushed skin caused by the inability to sweat. 16. Which of the following statements about the citric acid cycle is false? The major end product of the cycle is lactic acid. 17. Drag the labels to complete the sentences regarding fatty acids and blood clotting. Linoleic acid can be converted to arachidonic acid, which is used to produce prostaglandins that increase blood clotting. Alpha-linolenic acid can be converted to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is used to produce prostaglandins that decrease blood clotting. Individuals who consume foods rich in eicosapentaenoic acid, such as salmon and tuna, two or more times per week have a lower risk of heart attack than those who do not. 18. Select the correct word from the list to complete each sentence in regards to the electron-transport chain. The electron-transport chain is a series of electron carriers in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Electrons transfer electrons to the electron-transport carriers and release H+. Some electron-transport carriers function as H+ pumps which move H+ to the outer mitochondrial compartment. Each H+ pump uses some of the energy in the oxidation-reduction to export a H+. The last electron-transport carrier combines electrons with oxygen and H+ to form water. The H+ pass through channels formed by the enzyme ATP synthase, resulting in the formation of ATP.

48. The lymphatic system is a branching network filled with lymph fluid. Invading microbes are swept into lymph nodes where they are attacked by lymphocytes (white blood cells that reside in the lymphatic system). Lymphocytes come in two varieties. __________ secrete antibodies, proteins that circulate in the blood that are specific for that same antigen as pathogen. Once antigens are recognized, they must be destroyed. __________ stimulate the production of several types of immune cells to take on foreign invaders. Which answer below matches the two varieties of lymphocytes? 49. Within the human body, there are three types of muscle. Which of these muscles are voluntary/involuntary; and what are their functions? 50. Amy has been addicted to smoking cigarettes for 12 consecutive years. She experiences shortness of breath, frequent coughing, and chronically fatigued. What has potentially gone wrong in Amy’s respiratory system?
