Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In the predator-prey example, one factor limits the growth of the other factor. As the prey population deceases, the predator population is begins to decrease as well. The prey population is a limiting factor. A limiting factor limits the growth or development of an organism, population, or process. Q: What is the term for something that limits the growth or development of an organism, population, or process? Choices: - controlling factor - stumbling block - variable - limiting factor A:
A: limiting factor

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Proteins in the diet are necessary for life. Dietary proteins are broken down into their component amino acids when food is digested. Cells can then use the components to build new proteins. Humans are able to synthesize all but nine of the twenty common amino acids. These nine amino acids, called essential amino acids , must be consumed in foods. Like dietary carbohydrates and lipids, dietary proteins can also be broken down to provide cells with energy. The amino acids regarded as essential for humans are phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, isoleucine, methionine, leucine, lysine, and histidine. Additionally, cysteine, tyrosine and arginine are required by infants and growing children. Q: Dietary proteins are broken down into what components when food is digested? Choices: - organic acids - protein acids - polymer acids - amino acids A:
A: amino acids

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Proteins are nutrients made up of smaller molecules called amino acids. The digestive system breaks down proteins in food to amino acids, which are used for protein synthesis. Proteins synthesized from the amino acids in food serve many vital functions. They make up muscles, control body processes, fight infections, and carry substances in the blood. Q: What is the name of the smaller molecules that make up proteins? Choices: - fundamental acids - DNA acids - rna acids - amino acids A:
A: amino acids

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The body of a cnidarian consists of two cell layers, ectoderm and endoderm. The cells surround a digestive cavity called the coelenteron (see Figure below ). Cnidarians have a simple digestive system. The single opening is surrounded by tentacles, which are used to capture prey. The tentacles are covered with nematocyst cells. Digestion takes place in the coelenteron. Nutrients are absorbed and gases exchanged through the cells lining this cavity. Fluid in the coelenteron creates a hydrostatic skeleton. Q: Cnidarians have a simple digestive system with a single opening surrounded by what type of structures, which are used to capture prey? Choices: - spines - antennae - claws - tentacles A:
A: tentacles
