- The hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose (sugar) from the blood into most body cells. Its secretion is controlled by a negative-feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood and the insulin-secreting cells. Therefore, which of the following statements is correct? A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further towers blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn lowers blood glucose concentration. A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn increases blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further increases blood glucose concentration. None of the preceding is correct.arrow_forwardIn the regulation of enzymes, which of the following represents a regulation process in which different forms of the same enzyme (which differ in amino acid sequence) controls the activity of the enzyme. a Protein modification b Allosterism c Feedback control d Isoenzymesarrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a physiological role of phosphorus? Select one: a. Required for ossification of bones during embryonic development b. Required for enzymatic conversions in glycolysis c.

- A scientist studies the production of a key digestive enzyme in silk moths. The moths have one gene for this enzyme, and the scientist extracts mRNA transcribed from this gene as well as protein translated from it. The gene has three introns in its sequence. If the same scientist extracts the DNA for this gene and finds that it becomes methylated over the life of the organism, how will digestion change over time? A. It will occur at lower pH. B. It will rely more on this enzyme over time. C. It will use methylated copies of the enzyme. D. It will involve a lesser quantity of this enzyme over time.arrow_forwardIn the Alanine Cycle, different organs work together to produce glucose from protein. Which statement below best describes what happens in which organ? a)In liver, pyruvate is transaminated to alanine; in the muscle, alanine is deaminated and pyruvate is used for ATP synthesis. b)In muscle, pyruvate is transaminated to alanine; in the liver, alanine is deaminated and pyruvate is used for gluconeogenesis. c)The liver exports glucose for use by the brain; in the muscle, alanine is deaminated by the urea cycle for use in ATP generation. d)In muscle, pyruvate is transaminated to alanine; in the liver, alanine enters the urea cycle for excretion.arrow_forwardBeta oxidation is ______. a. the breakdown of sugars b. the assembly of sugars c. the breakdown of fatty acids d. the removal of amino groups from amino acidsarrow_forward

Decarboxylation b. Transketolation c. Transamination d. Phosphorylationarrow_forwardA protein called insulin is responsible for controlling how much sugar is in our blood. When insulin is present, cells take up sugar from the blood, controlling our blood-sugar levels and keeping our body in balance. Some people with diabetes don't make enough insulin. What would be a problem if cells could no longer produce the protein insulin? A - People would have too low blood sugar. B - Nothing would happen--their blood sugar would remain the same. C - They would not be able to digest sugar anymore. D - People would have too high blood sugar.arrow_forward
