Answer the following question given this paragraph: Alkaliphiles are organisms that "love" bases. Bases are like the opposite of acids. Basic environments where archaeans are found include Mono Lake in California, pictured in Figure below . Mono Lake is the oldest lake in North America. The water is not only unusually basic. It's also saltier than the ocean. So archaeans that live in the water of Mono Lake must have adaptations to both salty and basic conditions. They are haloalkaliphiles. Q: What is the term for organisms that have adaptations to both salty and basic conditions? Choices: - salinophytes - sporozoans - heterophiles - haloalkaliphiles A:
haloalkaliphiles
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Eleutherozoa are the echinoderms that can move. This group includes the starfish and most other echinoderms. Q: Like other bryophytes, moss plants spend most of their life cycle as what? Choices: - zygotes - copepods - protozoa - gametophytes A:
gametophytes
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Complexing agents that tie up metal ions are also used as drugs. British Anti-Lewisite (BAL), HSCH2CH(SH)CH2OH, is a drug developed during World War I as an antidote for the arsenic-based war gas Lewisite. BAL is now used to treat poisoning by heavy metals, such as arsenic, mercury, thallium, and chromium. The drug is a ligand and functions by making a water-soluble chelate of the metal; the kidneys eliminate this metal chelate (Figure 19.31). Another polydentate ligand, enterobactin, which is isolated from certain bacteria, is used to form complexes of iron and thereby to control the severe iron buildup found in patients suffering from blood diseases such as Cooley's anemia, who require frequent transfusions. As the transfused blood breaks down, the usual metabolic processes that remove iron are overloaded, and excess iron can build up to fatal levels. Enterobactin forms a watersoluble complex with excess iron, and the body can safely eliminate this complex. Q: How does consuming enterobactin help our body? Choices: - builds excess iron - eliminates excess fat - eliminates excess oxygen - eliminates excess iron A:
A: eliminates excess iron
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Introduction Breathing is an involuntary event. How often a breath is taken and how much air is inhaled or exhaled are tightly regulated by the respiratory center in the brain. Humans, when they aren't exerting themselves, breathe approximately 15 times per minute on average. Canines, like the dog in Figure 39.1, have a respiratory rate of about 1530 breaths per minute. With every inhalation, air fills the lungs, and with every exhalation, air rushes back out. That air is doing more than just inflating and deflating the lungs in the chest cavity. The air contains oxygen that crosses the lung tissue, enters the bloodstream, and travels to organs and tissues. Oxygen (O2) enters the cells where it is used for metabolic reactions that produce ATP, a high-energy compound. At the same time, these reactions release carbon dioxide (CO2) as a by-product. CO2 is toxic and must be eliminated. Carbon dioxide exits the cells, enters the bloodstream, travels back to the lungs, and is expired out of the body during exhalation. Q: What gas is expired out of the body during exhalation? Choices: - carbon monoxide - hydrogen - oxygen - carbon dioxide A:
Answer: carbon dioxide
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sperm are released into the surrounding water through the osculum. If they enter a female sponge through a pore, they may be trapped by collar cells. Trapped sperm are delivered to eggs inside the female body, where fertilization takes place. The resulting zygote develops into a larva. Unlike the adult, the larva is motile. It is covered with cilia that propel it through the water. As the larva grows, it becomes more similar to an adult sponge and loses its ability to swim. Q: Unlike an adult sponge, what stage is motile due to cilia that propel it through water? Choices: - parasite - zygote - pupa - larva A:
**Answer**
larva
