Answer the following question given this paragraph: Respiratory Compensation Respiratory compensation for metabolic acidosis increases the respiratory rate to drive off CO2 and readjust the bicarbonate to carbonic acid ratio to the 20:1 level. This adjustment can occur within minutes. Respiratory compensation for metabolic alkalosis is not as adept as its compensation for acidosis. The normal response of the respiratory system to elevated pH is to increase the amount of CO2 in the blood by decreasing the respiratory rate to conserve CO2. There is a limit to the. Q: The normal response of the respiratory system to elevated ph is to increase the amount of what in the blood? Choices: - glucose - acid - red blood cells - co2 A:
co2

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The concentration of a solution represents the percentage of the solution that is the solute. You can calculate the concentration of a solution using this formula:. Q: What does the concentration of a solution represent? Choices: - spending of solute - the darkness - the percentage of contaminates - percentage of solute A:
(Answer)
percentage of solute
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Another familiar example is the mixing of vinegar and olive oil. Olive oil is a nonpolar substance, while vinegar (which is mostly water and acetic acid) is polar. The result is a heterogeneous mixture that exhibits a bilayer. Q: Combining nonpolar olive oil and polar vinegar yields what type of mixture? Choices: - homogeneous - omnigeneous - amorphous - heterogeneous A:
Ans: heterogeneous

Answer the following question given this paragraph: 20.8 End-of-Chapter Material Chapter Summary To ensure that you understand the material in this chapter, you should review the meanings of the bold terms in the following summary and ask yourself how they relate to the topics in the chapter. Metabolism is the general term for all chemical reactions in living organisms. The two types of metabolism are catabolismthose reactions in which complex molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) are broken down to simpler ones with the concomitant release of energyand anabolismthose reactions that consume energy to build complex molecules. Metabolism is studied by looking at individual metabolic pathways, which are a series of biochemical reactions in which a given reactant is converted to a desired end product. The oxidation of fuel molecules (primarily carbohydrates and lipids), a process called respiration, is the source of energy used by cells. Catabolic reactions release energy from food molecules and use some of that energy for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP); anabolic reactions use the energy in ATP to create new compounds. Catabolism can be divided into three stages. In stage I, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins are broken down into their individual monomer unitssimple sugars, fatty acids, and amino acids, respectively. In stage II, these monomer units are broken down by specific metabolic pathways to form a common end product acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA). In stage III, acetyl-CoA is completely oxidized to form carbon dioxide and water, and ATP is produced. Saylor URL: http://www. saylor. org/books. Q: Catabolism and anabolism are the two types of what? Choices: - heart rate - cells - calcium - metabolism A:
(A).
metabolism
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Gestation (pregnancy) lasts 8-9 months and usually results in the birth of a single offspring. The young are born helpless, and thus, they need parental care for long periods of time. Compared with most other mammals, great apes have a long adolescence and are not fully mature until 8-13 years of age (longer in humans). Females usually give birth only once every few years. Q: In great apes, what process lasts 8-9 months and usually results in the birth of a single offspring? Choices: - mating - hibernation - reproduction - gestation A:

Ans:gestation
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cells, like these nerve cells, do not work in isolation. To send orders from your brain to your legs, for example, signals pass through many nerve cells. These cells work together to perform a similar function. Just as muscle cells work together, bone cells and many other cells do as well. A group of similar cells that work together is known as a tissue. Q: When orders are sent from your brain to your legs, these signals pass through what type of cells? Choices: - mobility cells - molecules - skin cells - nerve cells A:

Ans:
nerve cells
