1. If glucose is phosphorylated upon entry, how does it get out of the epithelial cell?

2. Context: referring to the basic K+ and Na+ levels of a cell and how they move in and out of it. Both ions have a positive charge. K+ is more ubundant in the cell and Na+ is more outside. The inside of the cell is more naturally negative.

If K+ is going out while Na+ is coming into the cell, why does the membrane potential(Vm) become more positive?

1. Which of the following is a good example of homeostasis?

A. Your plasma calcium concentration is 4.5mM.

B. Your plasma K+ concentration has been around 4 mM for many years.

C. You have a temperature of 103°F/38°C.

D. You are dehydrated because of sweating heavily in a hot day.

2. If your plasma sodium concentration is 141 mM, which of the following mechanisms is more likely to re-establish your electrolyte homeostasis?

A. A positive feedback loop, because they produced rapid responses capable of exerting strong all-out responses that will bring your plasma sodium back to around 10 mM.

B. A negative feedback loop, because they are good to minimize change.

C. A negative feedback loop that triggers thirst, so that absorbed water can dilute excessive sodium

D. No need to worry; 141 mM Na+ in plasma is within normal range, so your homeostasis is not being compromised.
