Cultured liver hepatocytes are convenient for studying both exocytosis and receptor-mediated, clathrin-dependent endocytosis. As part of an advanced laboratory in cell biology, students are required to perform mutation studies on cultured liver hepatocytes to generate data that supports the proposed mechanism of receptor-mediated, clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Liver hepatocytes are cultured, mutagenized, and screened for defective receptor-mediated endocytosis. In order to distinguish unique mutants from one another, the students must design a series of experiments to distinguish between mutants that have the following mutations:
a). Cellular adaptor proteins are mutated to be non-functional
b). Clathrin is mutated to be non-functional
c). Dynamin is mutated to be non-functional

11. How does a lack of insulin prevent the cell from using glucose? 12. Why is it important that specific tissues respond to insulin in different ways? 13. Hypothesize a mechanism to explain how tissues respond to insulin in different ways, even tissues that have the same amount of the receptor.

Chordates are characterized by having a dorsal hollow nerve chord,
a notochord, and a tail. Some years ago, researchers discovered
that in Tunicates, a single mutation in one gene caused the nerve
chord, the notochord, and the tail to all disappear. A writer for
Science magazine concluded from this that all three definitive
chordate traits must have evolved at the same time, with the
appearance of this gene. Explain the flaw in this reasoning.

Evolution, in the biological sense, is NOT described by which of the following?
A. It is defined simply as change over time.
B. It is genetic change in populations over time.
C. It requires genetic variation in the population.
D. It requires differential survival of individuals based on genetic factors.
E. It is described by all of the above.
Advantages of studying molecular variations include all of the following EXCEPT:
A. molecular data directly reflect genetic differences.
B. molecular data can be used to compare organisms of different species.
C. molecular data can be quantified.
D. molecular data can be collected easily.
E. Actually, all of these are advantages to studying molecular rather than phenotypic variation.

1) Explain how the body metabolizes carbohydrates and protein in the fed state.
2) Explain how the body metabolizes carbohydrates and fat in the fed state.
3) Explain how the body metabolizes carbohydrates and amino acids in the short term fasting states (prior to using up all your glycogen).
4) Explain how the body metabolizes fats in the fasting state once you have used up all your glycogen stores.
