True or False (T/F) 103. Studies find that people's personality changes with aging. T/F 104. The Biology of aging pamphlet tells of one drug that surpresses inflammation that lengthens lifespan and another which has both anti- inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties that more than doubles lifespan. T/F 105. As of yet there have been no chemical agents found which will increase lifespan. T/F 106. - 108. The lifespan difference between naked mole rat with it's 20-something year lifespan the mouse with its four year lifespan is attributed to one of three "theories": 1) The mole rats experience a slower rate of age-related decline. 2) They can survive even when their organs and/or systems break down and have minimal function. 3) They are better able to tolerate cellular damage or diseases. (P.S. The pamplet wrongly calls them theories - they are not theories, they are hypotheses at best) So what does 'experience a slower rate of age-related decline, surviving system break down or better able to tolerate cellular damage mean? How could you test to distinquish between one 'theory' and the other? 109.

Apart from genes what is the name of the other control of an organisms characteristics which is believed to be important in aging and development _____________________________________________________________________ _________ 113. It is felt that the phenomenon of cellular senescence - which results from shortened telomeres by simply having divided enought times, or some sort of cellular damage, such as damage to DNA, chromosomes etc. a) might benefit a young body by preventing that cell from becoming a cancer cell b) might harm an aging body by producing substances that both cause cancer c) both "a" and "b)" d) none of the above 114. The length of telomeres is completely determined by the number of divisons a cell has gone through and accurately predicts age.

In studies of wild mice vs laboratory-bred mice, calorie restriction was not found to have a life-lengthening effect so mice actually lived a shorter time- could you come up with a possible reason? . (an aside - the evidence that resveretrol, the supposed lifeextending chemical found in red wine (among other places) is not believed to be a natural stimulator of sirtuins). 120.
