Which of the choices below describes the pathway of cellular respiration (the complete oxidation of glucose)?
lipolysis, glycogenolysis, beta oxidation
glycolysis, citric acid (Krebs) cycle, electron transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation
glycogenesis, lipogenesis, electron transport chain
gluconeogenesis, citric acid (Krebs) cycle, lipolysis
The Correct Answer is B
A. Lipolysis, glycogenolysis, beta oxidation: These refer to fat and glycogen metabolism, not the complete oxidation of glucose.
B. Glycolysis, citric acid (Krebs) cycle, electron transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation: This is the correct and complete pathway for glucose metabolism leading to ATP production.
C. Glycogenesis, lipogenesis, electron transport chain: Glycogenesis and lipogenesis are anabolic processes, not catabolic.
D. Gluconeogenesis, citric acid (Krebs) cycle, lipolysis: These are mixed pathways that do not directly represent glucose oxidation.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Decreased urine volume: ADH increases water reabsorption in the collecting ducts, leading to less water in the urine and decreased urine output.
B. Decreased urine molarity: ADH leads to more concentrated (higher molarity) urine, not less.
C. Increased urine volume: ADH reduces urine volume, not increases it.
D. Increased urine salinity: ADH affects water, not salt. Salinity may change indirectly, but this is not a direct effect.
E. Increased urine acidity: Urine acidity is influenced by hydrogen ion excretion, not directly by ADH.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. The voluntary phase of swallowing takes place within the mouth: The oral phase is under voluntary control and involves tongue movement to push the bolus to the oropharynx.
B. The epiglottis assists in propelling food into the trachea: This is incorrect. The epiglottis prevents food from entering the trachea by covering the glottis during swallowing; it does not propel food.
C. The involuntary portion of swallowing takes place in the pharynx: After the oral phase, swallowing becomes involuntary, involving reflexive contractions of pharyngeal muscles.
D. The mouth, pharynx and esophagus all take part in swallowing: All three structures are involved in the three phases of deglutition: oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal.
