|
A. |
Blood glucose concentration |
|
|
B. |
Muscle glycogen concentration |
|
|

Question 31
What would the effects of a month long high-protein, high-fat diet, low carbohydrate diet be on athletic performance during a marathon? Assume that the person will run the majority of the marathon at >80% VO2peak and will likely run the last few miles at 90% VO2peak:
|
A. |
Improve because you have now trained the body to oxidize fatty acids for prolonged periods of time |
|
|
B. |
Improved performance because it provides plenty of protein / amino acids for prolonged exercise which can be used for gluconeogenesis |
|
|
C. |
The subject will be glycogen depleted and performance will be worse |
|
|
D. |
No effect |
Question 32
A person accidentally ingests a substance that renders the mitochondrial electron transport chain non-functional. The following is true:
|
A. |
Nothing will change since NADH and FADH are produced during ß-oxidation and the Krebs cycle prior to entering the ETC |
|
|
B. |
The Kreb’s cycle will speed up to compensate |
|
|
C. |
The individual will switch to protein breakdown to meet ATP needs |
|
|
D. |
Cellular respiration will be severely compromised |
Question 33
You are training a 400-meter running athlete who states she is taking a supplement to increase the bioavailability and activity of phosphoglucoisomerase (a glycolysis pathway enzyme) to boost her race performance. What is the effect you expect?
|
A. |
Some improvement since the rate of anaerobic glycolysis will increase |
|
|
B. |
Worse performance because the levels of enzymes are finely tuned and the disequilibrium from the supplement will affect glycolytic activity |
|
|
C. |
No change |
|
|
D. |

1. Ion channels contain a selectivity filter that (choose best answer)
a) selects for positively charged ions by virtue of the negatively charged amino acids lining the pore, but allows similar ions through, like Na+ and K+.
b) selects for size of ions based on interactions with the ion transport protein.
c) binds with extreme sensitivity to their specific ion, akin to an enzyme forming a specific binding site for a substrate.
d) selects for ions based on size and charge due to the width of the channel and charge of amino acids lining the channel.
2. What is the role of K+ -gated ion channels in an action potential?
a) They do not have a role in action potentials
b) They provide the energy for the sodium potassium pump to reestablish resting potential
c) They lead to the action potential reaching its highest state of cell depolarization
d) They help reverse the action potential by repolarizing the cell.
3. Which of the following has the lowest electron affinity
a) Cytochrome c reductase complex
