When comparing two group means using independent samples, the samples must be related to each other.

A school claims that their average student GPA is exactly 3.0. A researcher wants to test this claim. What is the correct null hypothesis (H₀)? HINT: The null hypothesis always includes the claim being tested. The alternative hypothesis is what the researcher is trying to prove.  

You have forecast the following 24-hour, person-trip, production-attraction (PA) matrices for home-based (HB) and non-home-based (NHB) trip purposes.  Calculate the total number of HB and NHB trips between each zonal pair and in each direction (i.e., originating in zone 1 and destined to 2, originating in 2 and destined to 1, and so on.) over a 24-hour period.  Make reasonable assumptions as needed. NOTE: In your answer space you can insert a 4X4 table and provide your results

The figure below represents a simple network with one origin (O), one destination (D), two internal nodes (1 and 2), and five network links. In this case, the link travel times vary linearly as a function of the flow on the links as shown in the figure.  The demand for travel between the origin and destination is 100 trips. Consider a situation in which 65 vehicles choose route O-1-D (i.e. q1 = q4 = 65) and the rest (i.e., 35 vehicles) choose route O-2-D.  No one chooses O-2-1-D. Show using appropriate calculations that this situation does NOT represent user equilibrium. At equilibrium, will the flow on O-1-D be greater than 65 or lesser than 65? Note that you do not have to solve the equilibrium flows.    

Which one of the following enzymes possesses a phosphorylated histidine residue in its active site?

Which of the following statements best describes the role and regulation of glycogen phosphorylase during metabolic stress such as fasting or exercise?

Inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) would most directly impair which of the following cellular processes?  

During vigorous muscle contraction, which of the following allosteric signals would most directly enhance ATP production by activating multiple enzymes in the TCA cycle and glycolysis?

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) serves as a key metabolic junction, linking glycolysis to the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle by converting pyruvate into acetyl-CoA. The multienzyme complex, located in the mitochondrial matrix, consists of three core enzymes: E1 (pyruvate dehydrogenase), E2 (dihydrolipoyl transacetylase), and E3 (dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase). Proper functioning of PDC requires five cofactors: thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), lipoic acid, Coenzyme A (CoA), FAD, and NAD⁺. PDC activity is tightly regulated. It is activated by low-energy signals such as increased ADP, NAD⁺, and CoA, and inhibited by its products, NADH and acetyl-CoA. In fasting conditions, increased fatty acid oxidation generates acetyl-CoA and NADH, inhibiting PDC and shifting pyruvate toward gluconeogenesis. The enzyme complex is also subject to covalent regulation: pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) phosphorylates and inactivates PDC, while pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase (PDP) reactivates it via dephosphorylation. Dysregulation of PDC contributes to metabolic inflexibility and various pathologies. Dichloroacetate (DCA), an investigational drug, inhibits PDK, thereby keeping PDC active, which is of therapeutic interest in lactic acidosis and certain cancers. Arsenite, a toxic metalloid, irreversibly binds to lipoic acid, inactivating E2 and arresting oxidative metabolism. Thiamine deficiency, as seen in Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome or alcoholism, impairs E1 function, disrupting oxidative glucose metabolism and increasing lactate production. In a patient with chronic alcoholism presenting with confusion, ataxia, and ophthalmoplegia, which of the following mechanisms most likely contributes to elevated lactate levels?

In hepatocytes, which of the following scenarios would most strongly favor the initiation and sustained flux through gluconeogenesis?
