27. Ethanol metabolism in liver is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT: (A) decreased pH levels due to lactic acidosis, (B) decreased NADH/NAD+ ratio in the cell, (C) decreased gluconeogenesis activity resulting in hypoglycemia, (D) two oxidation steps to convert ethanol to acetate, both reactions produce NADH, (E) increased acetaldehyde-protein adducts impairing protein function.

28. Fatty acids are released from adipocytes when: (A) insulin levels are high, (B) glycerol-3-phosphate levels are high, (C) blood glucose levels are low adiposc ATP levels are high, (D) adipose ATP levels are high, (E) none are true.

2. In a natural community, the primary consumer is? (A) Carnivores (B) Herbivores (C) Detritivores (D) Decomposers

3. Which of the following statement about enzyme is NOT TRUE? (A) All enzymes' are proteins (B) The active site is the region where the substrate binds (C) Each enzyme has an optimal temperature and pH in which it can function (D) Optimal conditions usually favor the most stable and active conformation for the enzyme molecule

4. What is the central role of helper 'T cells? (A) Helper T cells are the only immune cell type that can produce immunological memory (B) Activated helper T cells release perforin that make pores in the target cell's membrane and enzymes promoting apoptosis leading to cell death (C) Helper T cells can be activated through innate immune response by antigen- presenting cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells, setting stage for the adaptive immune response (D) Activated helper T cells-Lan produce antibodies

5. Which of the following statements about excretory system is NOT TRUE? (A) Nephron is the functional unit of kidney (B) The nephron consists of a single long tubule and a ball of capillaries called glomerulus. Filtration occurs as blood pressure forces fluid from the blood in the glomerulus into the lumen of Bowman's capsule (C) Filtration of small molecules passes through three regions of the nephron: the proximal tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal tubule, which are all permeable to salt but not to water (D) The controlled movement of ions (such as) in the proximal and distal tubules keep the constant pH in the body fluid

6. About digestion, which of the following statement is TRUE? (A) Protein digestion occurs only in the stomach (B) Most digestion occurs in the duodenum, where acid chyme from the stomach mixes with digestive enzymes from the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and the small intestine itself (C) Polysaccharides digestion starts from small intestine with enzymes from pancreas (D) Bile is made in the pancreas and stored in the gallbladder

7. Which of the following statement is TRUE about respiration? (A) Alveoli is the place where gas exchange occurs (B) In the capillaries of alveoli, CO2 diffuses into the blood and O2 diffuses into the (C) During inhalation, lung volume increases as the rib muscle contracts and diaphragm relaxes (D) The breathing control center is located in the hypothalamus
