The data in figure 23.7 suggest glut2 functions to transport glucose out of the intestine into intestinal cells and sglt1 functions to transport glucose out of the intestinal cells and into the circulatory system carrying digestive products away from the digestive system to other parts of the body.
Question 7 options:
a) True
b) False
Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID) is a genetic condition that prevents the metabolism of cane sugar (sucrose). This condition can result in, among other things, abdominal cramps and bloating, diarrhea, vomiting, and increased susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections.
A) Suggest a possible molecular mechanism underlying this condition.
B) Based on the mechanism described above, offer a hypothesis as to why this condition may be more severe in some individuals than others.

In essence, students are placing an insulin gene from the human pancreas into the bacterial genome. This was done to produce genetically engineered bacteria that make a human protein. Which question addresses the ethical concerns regarding this biotechnological method? A. Will the insulin produced by the bacteria be réadily used by humans? B. Will the insulin produced by genetically altered bacteria increase the chances of individuals becoming ill? C. Will the bacteria become part of the human genome after the addition of the insulin gene? D. Will the insulin produced by genetically altered bacteria be viewed by different religious groups needing to be treated for diabetes? Cearrow_forward
- For each of the following statements, indicate whether it is true or false. [Select] [Select] The LDL particles are internalized through the endocytic pathway. A mutation that impairs the association of the LDL receptor with adaptin would cause depletion of LDL in the blood. [Select] In the endosome, the LDL particle dissociates from the LDL receptor because the pH in the endosome is higher than that in the transport vesicle. [Select] A mutation that impairs the recruitment of the LDL receptor into clathrin-coated vesicles would cause a decrease in cellular cholesterol level.arrow_forwardIf the circulatory system of an ob/ob mouse is surgically joined to that of a normal mouse, what will be the eff ect on the appetite and weight of the ob/ob mouse?arrow_forwardStapphylococcus aureus V8 protease cleaves at the C-termini of Asp and Glu.
