1. Water will move out of a cell if: water channels are present and
intracellular osmolarity is lower than extracellular
2. Select all of the following statements about the Na+/K+ pump that are
TRUE: It transports K+ into the cell and Na+ out of the cell its activity
is required for SGLT It is an antiporter
3. Which of the following statements concerning insulin is TRUE:
Insulin stimulates glycogen synthase in the liver
4. Select all of the following that raise blood glucose levels: glucagon
absorption from the diet reabsorption in the kidney
5. In the fed state: C-peptide levels in the blood will be high
6. Which of the following statements is TRUE based on the data
(a glucose drink was given to each patient at 15 min): SGLT2 is
saturated at blood glucose of 6 or higher
7. Which answer is FALSE regarding the role of glucagon:
glucagon signals skeletal muscle cells to release glucose to the
blood
8. Glucose uptake into muscle and fat cells: occurs by facilitated diffusion
through GLUT4s
9. Which is the correct sequence of events in the digestion of proteins:
Denaturation of proteins; enzymatic digestion of peptide; secondary
active transport of amino acids into intestinal epithelial cells;
facilitated diffusion into the circulation. 10. Order the following events
in the digestion of carbohydrates: 1) salivary amylase begins
2) brush border enzymes
3) glucose is absorbed into
4) glucose is transported

1 1. Select all of the following statements that are TRUE concerning
the digestion and absorption of fat.: The digestion of fat requires bile
acids and lipase. Triglycerides are digested into two fatty acids and a
monoglyceride Absorption is via the lymphatics
12. Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding bile
salts: emulsify triglycerides in the intestines
13. Match the digestive enzymes with their site of action and target:
amylase: intestine; carbohydrates chymotrypsin: intestine; proteins
lipase: intestine; proteins pepsin: stomach; proteins
14. Match the following metabolic reactions with their function: core
cycle: the conversion of lactic acid urge cycle: allows excretion of
nitrogen lipolysis: breakdown of triglycerides gluconeogenesis:
generation of glucose
15. Match the following steps in the aerobic respiration of glucose:
glycolysis: cytoplasm; oxygen-independent citric acid cycle:
mitochondrial matrix; requires oxygen oxidative phosphorylation:
inner mitochondrial membrane; required oxygen
16. Anaerobic metabolism of glucose: occurs in red blood cells
17. What are products of the citric acid cycle: 2 ATPS, NADH
and 2 C02
18. Select all of the following statements that are TRUE
concerning the aerobic metabolism of glucose: ATP synthase
requires a high concentration of hydrogen in the inter membrane
space
The initial steps of glycolysis require ATP
Glycolysis and citric acid cycle each produce 2 net ATP per
glucose
