Q. After active removal of small molecules (glucose, amino acids, vitamins electrolytes, etc.), urine inside tubules in the renal cortex does not become hypotonic relative to plasma.  Why is this?

a. Urea concentration is high inside the urine.

b. Small molecules are removed by antiport mechanisms and are therefore replaced by other osmotically active particles.

c. Removal of small molecules results in a drop in osmotic pressure, water leaves the urine.

d. Urine does not tarry in the cortex, it enters the tubules in the medulla as soon as small molecules are removed.

e. ATP is consumed in the transport of small molecules; the breakdown of one molecule of ATP produces two molecules (ADP + Pi) of osmotically active molecules.

Q. What would happen if the loop of Henle does not exist, and the proximal convoluted tubule leads directly to the collecting duct?

a. The glomeruli will decrease in size.

b. The body can secrete nitrogenous waste only in the form of ammonia.

c. The concentration of Na+ and urea in urine will be the same.

d. Urine will become hypotonic to plasma.

e. Urine will have the same osmolarity as plasma.

Q. What would happen if the loop of Henle does not exist, and the proximal convoluted tubule leads directly to the collecting duct?

a. Volume of excreted urine would increase.

b. Metabolic activity in the kidney will decrease.

c. Urine osmolarity would decrease.

d. Urine would become isotonic with blood plasma.

e. All of the above.

Q. The role of antidiuretic hormone is to:

Consider my cost of capital is 4%. I have got three projects to choose from.

A)
NPV = -49000
IRR = 5.5%

B)
NPV = -40000
IRR = 6%

C)
NPV = -55000
IRR = 5%

One can observe that all NPV'sare negative but IRRwise projects are good. Kindly advise regarding how to critically evaluate the projects to choose the best one.

For each of the following answer choices explain why the specific choice is incorrect or correct. Give a detailed explanation with relevant outside information for your justification of a choice of falsification. Each falsification or justification should be no less than a paragraph each.

The energy released during oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water is high and can produce many molecules of NADH. Why then are only few molecules of NADH made during glycolysis when it appears that many more could be formed?

A. Most of the free energy available from the oxidation of glucose is used in the production of ATP in glycolysis.

B. Glycolysis is a very inefficient reaction, with much of the energy of glucose released as heat.

C. Most of the free energy available from the oxidation of glucose remains in pyruvate, one of the products of glycolysis.

D. There is no CO2 or water produced as products of glycolysis.

1. Why do fats provide more energy per molecule than glucose? Explain your answer in terms
of the electrons extracted during the process of cellular respiration.

2. A rare, frameshift genetic mutation can alter the structure of the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase
Complex such that it no longer functions within the cell. Describe what parts of the process
of cellular respiration would be impacted due to this non-functional enzyme.

3. The citric acid cycle functions to completely oxidize glucose in the presence of oxygen,
allowing for a large amount of ATP to be produced within the cell through oxidative
phosphorylation. Free oxygen did not always exist within the atmosphere of Earth, meaning
that early life forms relied solely on glycolysis and fermentation to extract energy from
macromolecules. What role did the increase in atmospheric oxygen play in the evolution of
life on Earth? Frame your answer in terms of the energy derived from cellular respiration in
the presence and absence of oxygen.
