Describe one ion and one other substance that can be asymmetrically distributed within the body of an animal.
- For each substance Describe the asymmetry (which compartments have higher/lower amounts)
- Describe how the asymmetry develops (how amounts in different compartments become different)
- Describe how the asymmetric distribution is important for a specific process in the animal

Hours before an exam, you eat a chicken sandwich. During an exam, your brain needs energy to remember answers to questions. Explain how this happens. Trace the path of glucose molecule from starch from from the bun of which digest starch, and the pathway through the blood vessels to travel from the small intestine to the brain (3 parts of the pathway)

Calculate the membrane potential of a neuron at standard temperature under each of the following conditions: a. The concentration of sodium, potassium and chloride is the same on both the inside and the outside of the membrane. b. The concentration of ions inside and outside the cell are as given below, but the relative permeability is the same for the three ions. c. The concentration of ions inside and outside the cell are as given below, but the relative permeability of K+ is 100 times greater than that of Na+ and Cl-.

Indicate whether each of the following statements (a-e) is TRUE or FALSE. If you think a statement is FALSE, explain why. (10 pts)
a. TRUE / FALSE Graft rejection is mediated by pre-existing host T cell effectors and antibodies specific for antigens on the grafted tissue.
b. TRUE / FALSE Allogeneic grafts between individuals with identical HLA genes will be accepted.
c. TRUE / FALSE Your parents are generally going to be your best source of tissues if you need a transplant.
d. TRUE / FALSE Graft rejection only occurs when alloantigens from the grafted tissue are picked-up by recipient APCs and presented to recipient T cells.
e. TRUE / FALSE In Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) innate cells from the grafted tissue recognize host alloantigens and begin attacking host tissues.
