tends to create an equilibrium state
5) match the hormone with the correct statement.
a. gastrin
b. cholecystokinin

a) form proteins.
b) form complementary sequences of dna.
c) link pieces of dna together.
d) form spindle fibers.
e) form a new nuclear membrane during cell division.
8) each of the following is an example of homeostasis except one. identify the
exception.
a) increased pressure in the aorta triggers mechanisms to lower blood pressure.
b) a rise in blood calcium levels triggers the release of a hormone that lowers blood
calcium levels.
c) a rise in estrogen during the menstrual cycle increases the number of progesterone
receptors in the uterus.
d) increased blood sugar stimulates the release of a hormone from the pancreas that
stimulates the liver to store blood sugar.
e) a decrease in body temperature triggers a neural response that initiates physiological
changes to increase body temperature.
9) stem cells that will form b lymphocytes are found in the
a) bone marrow.

10) when you eat a large meal and your body absorbs a lot of glucose and that makes its
way to the interstitial fluid before going into the cell. 100% of the glucose should be
absorbed into the cell from the interstitial fluid. why does nearly all of the glucose enter
the cell, rather than only half of it?
a) it is moved by active transport.
b) it is modified by the cell, so there is still more glucose on the outside of the cell than
inside it.
c) insulin forces glucose into the cell against a concentration gradient.
d) the cells make atp so fast, they use up all the glucose as soon as it enters the cell.
