1. Obese individuals have more (neurons/osteocytes/myofibrils/adipocytes)  than normal weight individuals.

2. After growth ceases, the number of fat cells may continue to increase if energy balance is (positive/reverse/negative/consistent)

3. Obese individuals generally have more (protein/pyruvate/lipoprotein hydrase/lipoprotein lipase) activity in their fat cells than normal weight individuals. This is an enzyme responsible for removing triglycerides from the blood stream and placing them in fat storage.

4. One theory as to why some individuals are more prone to weight gain, and thus obesity, than others, is the (set point/genetic/fixed/inherit) theory which states that a person’s body has its own inherent controls that tend to keep the body within a fixed weight range.

5. Genetic factors determine how susceptible a person is to developing obesity, but (genomic/endogenous/epigenetic/modulation) factors such as a consistently healthy lifestyle and healthy diet can play a significant role as well.

6. The hormone (testosterone/ghrelin/cortisol/leptin) regulates appetite in response to body fat.

7. As a means of controlling appetite and cueing satiety, the (norepinephrine/ghrelin/norleptin/estogren) hormone is regulated by intake.

3. (15 pts) In a study of schizophrenia, researchers measured the activity of the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) in the blood platelets of 18 patients. The results (expressed as nmol benzylaldehyde product per 108 platelets) were as follows:

6.8 8.4 8.7 11.9 14.2 18.8

9.9 4.1 9.7 12.7 5.2 7.8 7.8

7.4 7.3 10.6 14.5 10.7

The researchers believe that the average MAO level should be 7.5 amongst the general population, which is assumed to follow a normal distribution. Elevated MAO levels are considered abnormal.

7. (15 pts) The manager of a fast-food restaurant claims that the average service time is less than 90 seconds. A random sample of customers is selected and their wait times are reported as follows:

To this Question "There are different economic systems used around the world, with varying results. Which system do you think is best and why?

What role does human nature play in determining how these systems may succeed?" (Dont answer quoted question) was answered by 2 people, Reply to each of their repsonses.

1. "Economic systems are an organized way in which a state or a nation allocates, produces and distributes its resources and apportions goods and services within a society. The different types of economic systems around the world are traditional, command, market, and mixed. I personally think that the best system is the mixed system because, in a mixed economic system, the wealth is not distributed equally like it is in socialism. This gives an incentive for people to work at their best and this increases the efficiency of the workplace. Even in a free economy, since people have more freedom, they also have more utility. In capitalism, it has a hierarchy and the business and economy are generally dominated by the upper class, people with money with less government intervention. In some cases, it could be good for the market to have some government intervention to get the optimal outcome but it also reduces the inequality if the government distributes some goods for the poorer individuals. Human nature plays a very important role in this case. Individual and coordinated trust for the system is required in order for the system to succeed. If people were to agree to their role in an economic system, and they were to play their role as it was expected for the system to succeed. Then the system would succeed and in some instances of corruption, a revolution could occur which may often hurt an economic system. "

2. "I feel that the best economic system is the modified capitalist system that the United States uses. By incorporating the best elements of both free-market capitalism while still intervening or regulating business at times helps to avoid many economic issues that pure capitalism allows to fester. For example, pure capitalism requires laissez-faire. In laissez-faire capitalism, the government does not interfere with business at all. A lot of unethical and economically destructive behaviors on behalf of businesses go unchecked such as what happened in 2011 with the banking crisis. The result was a recession in the economy. True laissez-faire capitalism would have simply allowed the banks to fail, however, the economic devastation would have been disastrous. When the US government intervened in a socialist manner by buying positions in US businesses, it rescued the economy from the harms that are caused by pure capitalism. A modified capitalist system is governed by the laws of supply and demand. Supply and demand is a perfect example of human nature at work in the economy. Consumers naturally tend to buy more when the prices are low whereas business are understandably looking for consumers to pay more. The struggle between the interests of consumers and the interests of businesses forces the market to equalize at an equilibrium price. On page 11, Ferrell defines equilibrium price as “the price at which the number of products a business is willing to supply equals the number of products that consumers are willing to buy at a specific point in time”. Therefore, human nature determines the goods and services being produced and at what prices. As a result, many industries spend a lot of resources studying consumer behavior in order to best market their goods and services. The American free-market modified capitalist system is the best economic system because it allows businesses to thrive and consumers to set market demand while still avoiding the pitfalls of pure capitalism.

Blue Diaper Syndrome:

Gloria adores her nephews Will and Charlie, who have an unusual inherited condition. Because of abnormal transport of the amino acid tryptophan across the small intestinal lining, bacteria act on urine precursors to produce a compound that turns indigo blue upon contact with the air. Will's wet diapers turn blue! By the time the couple had Charlie, they were accustomed to the blue urine.

The family doctor assured Gloria and her nephews' parents, Gloria's sister Edith and her husband Archie, that other relatives needn't worry about recurrence. She explained that it is autosomal recessive and affected Will and Charlie because Edith and Archie are carriers. The condition hadn't appeared in previous generations, and likely wouldn't again, unless Edith and Archie had more children, each of whom faced a 25 percent chance of inheriting the trait. So Gloria and her husband Michael are quite surprised when their fraternal twins Marshall and Joey each produced blue diapers!

Part 1: What error did the physician make?

Part 2: Draw a pedigree for this extended family, indicating their unusual disorder.

Part 3: Gloria and Edith wonder if their grandsons will inherit blue diaper syndrome. Will they? Why or why not?

Part 4: The blue diaper phenotype is likely to be darker after the baby eats food containing a lot of______.
