Textbook Question
Chapter 35.3, Problem 1CSC
Stomach acid can be very destructive to the digestive tracts of people with bulimia, many of whom vomit several times daily. The strong acid in the stomach contents dissolves the protective enamel of teeth, making them extremely prone to decay. Stomach acid also damages tissues of the gums, throat, and esophagus. In extreme cases, the explosive pressure of repeated vomiting can tear or rupture the esophagus—a true medical emergency. Frequent vomiting weakens the stomach lining, allowing acid to attack the stomach wall, which may produce ulcers, and can even cause the stomach to rupture, a situation that can be fatal.
During normal digestion, food moves from the stomach to the small intestine—how is it processed there?

The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.

- San Andreas Transform Boundary Plate Motion The geologic map below of southern California shows the position of the famous San Andreas Fault, a transform plate boundary between the North American Plate (east side) and the Pacific Plate (west side). The relative motion between the plates is indicated by the half arrows along the transform plate boundary (i.e., the Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest relative to the North American Plate). Note the two bodies of Oligocene volcanic rocks (labeled Ov) on the map in the previous page located along either side of the San Andreas Fault. These rocks are about 23.5 million years old and were once one body of rock. They have been separated by displacement along the fault. 21. Based on the offset of these volcanic rocks, what is the average annual rate of relative plate motion in cm/yr?
