Multiple Choice (2 Viewers)

[mel.89]

i put A for Q14....if your dehydrated the last thing you wants is more salt..... well thats my reasoning anyway

 

[Pyros89]

Hi,

Well im glad the test is over .

My multiple choice responses were basically the same as people's here, I think 14 is C.

My reasoning:

ADH is desigined to allow more water back into the blood.

Aldosterone increases the reabosorption of salts into the blood, and then increases water via osmosis.

Im fairly sure its C, but i might be wrong , hope not though!!

 

[shona1990]

Oooh, big debate over 14! Hehe
I put C. Seemed right, still does, but i'm not gonna go over my notes trying to find out why, or argue my point. I don't care anymore, IT'S OVER!!!!

I seemed to put pretty much what most people have. The multiple choice was so easy!

 

[integrity012]

ISN'T QUESTION FIVE D??

because the results are dependent on what you do to the samples.. that is... treating tehm by boiling and adding pool chlorine...

 

[tmde1st]

ADH is responsible for increasing the permeablity of the collecting ducts of the nephron in absorbing water..so ADH increases for sure

aldosterone increases the reabsorption of salts, hwoever, salts as in the absoroption of sodium ions and getting rid of potassium, and sodium ions is responsible for water retention. so if he was to dehydrate, he would need to have an increase in aldosterone to retain the water he currently has and increase water concentrations with more adh, so they work hand in hand, also addisons disease is the disruption of the adrenal cortex, which means not enough aldosterone is produced and a consequence of the addisons disease is severe dehydration so.... yeah thast what i believe

Thats what i thought.

 

[kobina]

the person just ran a marathon, im pretty sure their is no one that doesn't sweat after running a marathon. it is true that aldosterone acts on increaseing sodium reabsorbtion, but this is too maintain blood pressure. someone who is dehydrated will hjave low bp and the increased reabsorbtion of sodium causes an increase in water osmosi, thus increaseing bp

when ur dehydrated its specifically talking about water. ok ill tackle this from another perspective

dehydration=need for more water. if u also increase salts there will be osmosis of water into the bloodstream, thus further dehydration of cells WHERE THE WATER IS NEEDED.

anyways dont worry. knowin board of studies theyll come up with a way to make the ansa B or D lol

10 - A
11 - A (I am unconvinced this is B, nor am I convinced this is A - lol..)
12 - D (mmm... could be A - but I'm sure I rememebr reading something to suggest it was D - But hey, it's just a gut feeling. Could be wrong...)
13 - C
14 - C (I'm pretty sure it is C, but not 100% sure so could be A)
15 - D

 

[elliegow]

I am almost certain Question 1 was (A).


I dont know the exact question...
But I think it asked which was the substrate

All the other pictures were either the enzyme or the enzyme and the subtrate together, (A) was the only one with just a substrate.

Or I could be completely wrong!



Did anyone else find the test ridiculously easy? ...stoked! XD

Nope, question 1 is definitely not (A); its (D). An enzyme is defined as a catalyst which aids in speeding the process BUT it doesn't take part in the reaction. Molecule C is the enzyme because it brings subtrates "A and B" together, to form a product AB. Then, molecule C leaves the productAB to catalayse other reactions. Molecule C didn't take part in the reaction, thus it can't be the substrate. A and B are the substrates

The question was designed to trick you. C is definately the enzyme, the key here is that it remained 'unchanged' during the reaction. The middle image depicte the enzyme - substrate complex, so B can not be correct. Since C is the enzyme, and it is asking for the substrate, A is also incorrect. This leaves you with C & D. The final image in the diagram depicts the products from the reaction, so C is incorrect. Through the process of elimination to the answer is definately D.

The question didn't require that much thought though, it just required you to 'apply' your knowledge to the question - it was fairly simple.

 

[Stipe Pletikosa]

Question 1 i sofficialy C

As extracted from a key source:
'The Products are the substances that the Substrate(s) become. One substrate can be split, or two substrates can be joined'

In this case it was 2 substrates joining. You cant just ignore the arrows in the diagram! They showed the flow of the reaction.

 

[Stipe Pletikosa]

Question 1 is officialy C

As extracted from a key source:
'The Products are the substances that the Substrate(s) become. One substrate can be split, or two substrates can be joined'

In this case it was 2 substrates joining. You cant just ignore the arrows in the diagram! They showed the flow of the reaction.

lol, you just contradicted yourself. In this key source, it said products are the substances that the substrates become; meaning, that the substrates 'can be joined' to become the product. Therefore, AB are the products which the substrates become, thus (C) is wrong since (C) shows the products; therefore A and B have to be the substrates; thus (D) is the correct answer.

Q 9) Current reproductive techniques can be used to alter the genetic composition of a population. Some of these methods were also used in the nineteenth century by Gregor Mendel.
How did Mendel use reproductive techniques in his experiments?

(A) he artificially inseminated the pea plants to achieve wrinkled seeds
(B) he cloned the pea plants with round seeds to increase their food supply
(C) he created a transgenic species by mixing tall pea plants and short pea plants
(D) he artificialy pollinated the pea plants to test for different genotypes in the offspring (credit to hoca pontis)

D states 'he artificialy pollinated the pea plants to test for different genotypes in the offspring' Mendel wasn't testing for 'genotypes.'

there for A is the correct answer since the statement is true.


Lols please disprove me this is what a friend said.....

What are you talking about.

The reactiong that took place was AB splitting to become two sepearte products of A and B

The enzyme was labeled and the Substrate was AB

The reaction took place and produced the products AB you half wit.

Therefore when the question asks 'What is the substrate' the answer is AB = C

 

[joshuaali]

You don't inseminate a plant. Heck, plants don't even produce semen, nor are there genders for plants.

 

[fartx2]

there for A is the correct answer since the statement is true.


Lols please disprove me this is what a friend said.....

holy cow i think youre right

dammit.
