Question

_________ does not act as a satiety signal?

Insulin

Leptin

Orexin

Cholecystokinin

Increased glucose utilization

Identify the item that has a pH the farthest away from that in a human cell:

pure water

orange juice

milk

sea water

bleach

ratio of [HCO3]/[CO2] = 20/0.5
pK = 6.1
log of 10 = 1.0
log of 20 = 1.3
log of 40 = 1.6

pH = 7.0

pH = 7.4

pH = 7.1

pH = 7.7

It is impossible to determine the pH with the information provided.

a.

Insulin

b.

Leptin

c.

Orexin

d.

Cholecystokinin

e.

Increased glucose utilization

Explanation / Answer

(1) C. Orexin

Orexin does not act as a satiety signal, instead, it promotes appetite.

(2) e.bleach

pH of bleach is around 12 which is far from the physiological pH of 7.4

(3)d.pH=7.7

Explanation:

pH=pk + log [HCO3]/[CO2]

ph=6.1+1.6

pH=7.7
