Q:
|
Symptoms of infection with bacterium X include diarrhea. Bacterium X is intracellular and is known to secrete a toxin which inhibits the transfer of sodium ions from the gut into the bloodstream. Why would the inhibition of sodium transfer cause diarrhea? |
|
A
|
Sodium is toxic to the gut and causes diarrhea. |
B
|
The inability to remove sodium (and therefore salt) from the gut causes water to move into the gut and out of the body as diarrhea. |
C
|
Sodium transfer across the epithelium generates ATP which is necessary for the removal of water from the gut and prevention of diarrhea. |
D
|
The removal of sodium (and therefore salt) from the gut causes the inability to absorb vitamins. This poor nutrition results in diarrhea. |

Q:

Rabbits digest most of their food in their hindgut - their large intestine and cecum. Part of the digested material is passed as feces while part is passed as a nutritious cecotrope which is then consumed once more. Assuming the rabbit digestive system is otherwise like a human digestive system, which of the following is most likely the reason for the consumption of the cecotrope?
|
|
A
|
rabbits have poor vision and are unable to distinguish food from the cecotrope |
B
|
the digested contents of the cecotrope must be mixed with food to aid digestion in the stomach |
C
|
the cecotrope needs a second pass through the digestive system for the nutrients to be properly absorbed in the hindgut |
D
|
most nutrient absorption happens in the small intestine so the digested cecotrope must be re-ingested so it will pass through the small intestine for nutrient absorption |

Lactose intolerance usually results in fluid movement into the intestines and diarrhea. Individuals who are lactose intolerant are unable to transport the lactose through the membrane of the small intestine, so it accumulates in the lumen if the colon. Which of the following best explains the reason for diarrhea in these individuals? |
|
A
|
Their digestive tract is mounting an immune response against the lactose, which causes inflammation and fluid release into the lumen. |
B
|
Water transports into the lumen due to the higher osmolarity of the accumulated sugars. |
C
|
Bacteria ultimately metabolize the sugars instead of the individuals, and water is a byproduct of the sugar degradation. |
D
