Two students studying physiology taste a known "bitter" substance, and both report sensing bitterness. They then sample another substance. Student A reports sensing both a bitter taste and a salty taste, but student B reports only a salty taste. What is the most logical explanation?

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal

Student A had an allergic reaction to the food, causing him to perceive the food as being bitter.
Student A has normal "bitter" taste buds; student B has defective "bitter" taste buds that result in lower sensitivity to bitterness.
Student A has a protein receptor capable of detecting a bitter molecule found in that substance, whereas student B lacks that particular protein receptor.
Student A has normal saliva, whereas student B's saliva is more alkaline than normal.

Following are the some statement . Choose the correct one?

a. Primary Lysosomes are also called storage granules, protolysosomes or virgin lysosomes. Primary lysosomes are newly formed organelles bounded by a single membrane and typically having a diameter of 100 nm. They contain the degradative enzymes which participate in digestive process.

b. Heterophagosomes are also called heterophagic vacuoles, heterolysosomes or phagolysosomes. Heterophagosomes are formed by the fusion of primary lysosomes with cytoplasmic vacuoles containing extracellular substances brought into the cell by any of a variety of endocytic processes.

c. Autophagosomes are able to digest intracellular structures including mitochondria, ribosomes, peroxisomes and glycogen granules.

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Lysozyme is an enzyme that destroys bacterial cell walls. It does so by hydrolyzing the β(1→4) glycosidic linkages from N- acetylmuramic acid (NAM or MurNAc) to N- acetylglucosamine (NAG or GlcNAc) in cell wall peptidoglycans. The only functional groups in the immediate vicinity of lysozyme’s reactive center that have the required catalytic properties are the side chains of Glu 35 and Asp 52.

a- Glu perform reaction in its protonated state and Asp perform reaction in its deprotonated state.

b- Glu perform reaction in its deprotonated state and Asp perform reaction in its protonated state.

c- both in its protonated form

d- both in its deprotonated form
