Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Researchers are determining links between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and various disease processes. For examples, ER stress in the GI system has been found to be related to intestinal inflammations such as those occur with inflammatory bowel disease. The smooth ER of the liver is involved in glycogen stores. Insulin is synthesized as a large, inactive proinsulin molecule cut apart to produce a smaller, active insulin molecule within the Golgi complex of the beta cells. Bacterial toxins have exploited the retrograde transport mechanism.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A, B, C

Feedback:

An elevation in systolic BP accompanied by a normotensive diastolic pressure causes a dramatic increase in pulse pressure. Thus, aggressive treatment of systolic hypertension is recommended and has been shown to demonstrate a reduction in stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, and other complications.
