Answer the following question given this paragraph: A cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, will swell and lyse (burst) when placed in a hypotonic solution. Cells with a cell wall will swell when placed in a hypotonic solution, but once the cell is turgid (firm), the tough cell wall prevents any more water from entering the cell. When placed in a hypertonic solution, a cell without a cell wall will lose water to the environment, shrivel, and probably die. In a hypertonic solution, a cell with a cell wall will lose water too. The plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall as it shrivels, a process called plasmolysis . Animal cells tend to do best in an isotonic environment, plant cells tend to do best in a hypotonic environment. This is demonstrated in Figure below . Q: A red blood cell will swell and burst when placed in a? Choices: - acidic solution - exothermic solution - dissolved solution - hypotonic solution A:
hypotonic solution

Answer the following question given this paragraph: footprints, similar to those of modern humans, were found in Laetoli, Tanzania and dated to 3.6 million years ago. They showed that hominins at the time of Australopithecus were walking upright. There were a number of Australopithecus species, which are often referred to as australopiths. Australopithecus anamensis lived about 4.2 million years ago. More is known about another early species, Australopithecus afarensis, which lived between 3.9 and 2.9 million years ago. This species demonstrates a trend in human evolution: the reduction of the dentition and jaw in size. afarensis (Figure 29.42) had smaller canines and molars compared to apes, but these were larger than those of modern humans. Its brain size was 380450 cubic centimeters, approximately the size of a modern chimpanzee brain. It also had prognathic jaws, which is a relatively longer jaw than that of modern humans. In the mid-1970s, the fossil of an adult female A. afarensis was found in the Afar region of Ethiopia and dated to 3.24 million years ago (Figure 29.43). The fossil, which is informally called "Lucy," is significant because it was the most complete australopith fossil found, with 40 percent of the skeleton recovered. Q: What was the informal female name given to the adult fossil found in ethiopia and thought to be over 3 million years old? Choices: - alice - aunt - linda - lucy A:
(Answer)
lucy
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Learned behavior is any behavior that occurs only after experience or practice. The more intelligent a species is, the more it depends on learned behaviors, which have the advantage of being flexible. Ways in which animals learn behaviors include habituation, observational learning, conditioning, learning through play, and insight learning. Q: What is the term for any behavior that occurs only after experience or practice? Choices: - practiced behavior - saved behavior - studied behavior - learned behavior A:
Ans: learned behavior

Answer the following question given this paragraph: A tight junction is a watertight seal between two adjacent animal cells (Figure 3.17b). Proteins hold the cells tightly against each other. This tight adhesion prevents materials from leaking between the cells. Tight junctions are typically found in the epithelial tissue that lines internal organs and cavities, and composes most of the skin. For example, the tight junctions of the epithelial cells lining the urinary bladder prevent urine from leaking into the extracellular space. Also found only in animal cells are desmosomes, which act like spot welds between adjacent epithelial cells (Figure 3.17c). They keep cells together in a sheet-like formation in organs and tissues that stretch, like the skin, heart, and muscles. Gap junctions in animal cells are like plasmodesmata in plant cells in that they are channels between adjacent cells that allow for the transport of ions, nutrients, and other substances that enable cells to communicate (Figure 3.17d). Structurally, however, gap junctions and plasmodesmata differ. Q: What is the term for a watertight seal between two adjacent animal cells? Choices: - cell membrane - cell wall - placental barrier - tight junction A:
(A).
tight junction
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: The amplitude , , is the distance from the equilibrium (or center) point of motion to either its lowest or highest point ( end points ). The amplitude, therefore, is half of the total distance covered by the oscillating object. The amplitude can vary in harmonic motion but is constant in SHM. The amplitude of a wave often determines its strength or intensity; the exact meaning of "strength" depends on the type of wave. For example, a sound wave with a large amplitude is a loud sound and a light wave with a large amplitude is very bright. Q: Often determining the strength or intensity of a wave, this term is the distance from the equilibrium point of motion to either its lowest or highest point? Choices: - frequency - density - peak - amplitude A:

Ans:amplitude
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Look at the skateboarders in Figure below . When they push against each other, it causes them to move apart. The harder they push together, the farther apart they move. This is an example of Newton's third law of motion. Q: When two skateboarders push against each other what happens? Choices: - they stick together - they rise - they magnetize - they move apart A:

Ans:
they move apart
