A nurse is caring for a group of patients.  Based on Maslow’s hierarchy of need, lower level needs such as physiological needs and safety needs must be met before higher level needs can be addressed.  Which of the following nursing interventions address safety and physiological needs?

The following 6 questions are short-answer questions, which can be answered in a few sentences. Each one is worth 5 points.

6. (Short answer, 5 points) Describe three ways that enzymes are regulated.

19.  (Multiple choice, 2 points) Cell metabolism is a dynamic process with regard to the synthesis and breakdown of macromolecules such as proteins, RNA, and large carbohydrates. What are the two main advantages of breaking down these macromolecules?

12.  (Multiple choice, 2 points) When placed in a solution of water, a red blood cell crenates (gets smaller). Which of the following statements best explains why this happened.

4. (Short Answer, 5 points) Briefly describe the three types of membrane proteins.

2. (Multiple choice, 2 points) A primer used in dideoxy DNA sequencing is 20 nucleotides long and has the following sequence:  5’-GGATCCATGACTAGTCCGAC-3’. A segment of DNA is cloned into a vector and then the vector DNA is denatured and subjected to the dideoxy DNA sequencing method. Below is the DNA sequence from a region of the vector. The primer-annealing site is bold and underlined.  3-CCCGATCGGCCTAGGTACTGATCAGGCTGAATGACTCTTCAGA-5’ Based on the sequence above, what would be the size(s) of the band(s) (i.e., the number of nucleotides in each band) in which dideoxyG had been added to the sequencing reaction?

3. (Short answer, 5 points) Briefly explain how the surface area-to-volume (SAV) ratio influences cell size and a cell’s ability to function.
