Answer:
D. they will burst
Explanation:
Since the surrounding medium has more water content, the cells will take in water. After some time the cell membrane will burst.
A decrease in ones perception of a stimulus whose intensity has not changed due to higher neural inhibition is
a. habituation.
b. convergence.
c. divergence.
d. Adaptation
e. Illusion
Answer:
Habituation.
Explanation:
Habituation may be defined as a form of simple learning in which the innate response of an individual perception decreases after repeated stimulation. Some components of organisms are involved in the habituation learning.
The individual response towards a particular stimulus decreases if the same stimuli is repeated over again and again or the stimulus of same intensity. Neural inhibition maintains the stimulus intensity.
Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
When the charge inside the cell returns to the resting potential following depolarization, it is called:
Answer:
Repolarization
Explanation:
Repolarization refers to the phase during which the resting potential is restored after depolarization. This means that the inside of the axon membrane becomes negative again compared to the outside.
Repolarization is obtained by the functioning of K+ ion channels. The opening of K+ ion channels allows the K+ to move outside of the axon. Movement of positively charged ion (K+) outside of axon makes the inside negative again and the resting potential is restored.
Mr. Brown's blood typing results showed no agglutination when his blood sample was mixed with either plasma containing anti -A or anti - B antibodies. What is his blood type and what blood type can he receive?
Answer:
Mr Brown's blood type: AB
He can receive blood from: A, B, AB and O blood type (universal recipient)
Explanation:
Mr. Brown's blood does not exhibit agglutination with both plasma having anti -A or anti - B antibodies. The anti -A antibodies and B antigen are present in B blood type while A blood type has anti - B antibodies and A antigen.
Mr. Brown's blood does not show agglutination for both A and B antigens which means that his blood lack both anti -A or anti - B antibodies. The blood type that lacks both anti -A or anti - B antibodies is "AB" blood type. So, Mr. Brown's blood type is the "AB" blood type.
Since his blood lack both antibodies, he can receive blood from all blood types, that is, A, B, AB, and O.

What hormones need to be released in order to signal the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormone? Select all that apply.
a. TRH
b. TSH
c. ACTH
d. CRH
Answer:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Explanation:
TSH also called thyrotropin is released by the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid glands to secrete the thyroid hormones throxine, triiodothyronine and tetraiodothyronine. Release of TSH is due to the stimulation of the anterior pituitary gland by the hypothalamus through the hormone Thyroid Releasing Hormone (TSH). Adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) is released by the anterior pituitary gland due to hypothalamic stimulation through the hormone Corticotropin Hormone (CRH) that helps in synthesis and release of ACTH.

What is the hole in the center of the iris? What is its function?
Answer:
Pupil
Function: serves as site for entry of light into the eyeball.
Explanation:
The hole in the center of the iris is called pupil. The light enters the eyeball through the pupil. The pupil is circular or oval in shape and appears mostly black in color. With the help of muscular iris, the size of the pupil changes according to the intensity of incoming light.
Hence, the pigmented portion of the eyes of vertebrates (the iris) has a hole in its center called pupil to allow the light to enter the eyeball.
Which muscle is deeper in the body: the internal oblique muscle or the transverse abdominal muscle?
Answer:
Transverse abdominal muscle
Explanation:
Both internal oblique muscle and transverse abdominal muscles are muscles of abdominal wall and are present in pairs. The fascicles of the internal oblique muscle extend towards those of external oblique muscles. Therefore, the internal oblique muscle is closer to skin.
Transverse abdominal muscle is deep muscle of abdominal wall. Its fascicles are arranged around the abdominal wall. This makes it deeper than internal oblique muscle.

On which bone does Mandibular Fossa occurs?
Answer:
Mandibular Fossa occurs on temporal bone.
Explanation:
Mandibular fossa also known as glenoid fossa, the depression of temporal bones. Mandibular fossa articulates with the mandible and interacts with mandibular condyle. Glaserian fissure divides the mandibular fossa into two parts.
Articular tubercle bounds the mandibular fossa anteriorly. The mandibular fossa is bounded posteriorly by the temporal bone. Mandibular fossa development may get arrested due to the separation of mandibular condyle.
Which of the following would be true according to Bergmann’s and Allen’s rules?
a. The Berbers of Morocco have long limbs to absorb heat.
b. The Inuit in Greenland are tall and long-limbed.
c. The Yupik of Alaska have short, squat bodies to retain heat.
d. The Igbo of Nigeria have short, squat bodies to dissipate heat.
Answer:
c. The Yupik of Alaska have short, squat bodies to reatin heat
Explanation:
Acoording to Bergmann's and Allen's rules, the appearance of the humans directly depends on the environment in which they live. The main reason for this rules are that the humans have to develop certain advantageous traits in order to be able to survive in certain type of environment. The Yupik people of Alaska are a nice example of this. The climate in Alaska is very cold. There's lot of snow and long winters with freezing temperatures. The winds are also strong and cold. This has resulted in the Yupik people developing shorter bodies. They also became stockier, with wider chest, larger lung capacity, and also preserving fat below the eyes. These adaptations have been result of the environment, as the type of body they have helps in preserving the heat. The fat below the eyes helps prevent damage to the eyes from the cold, and the larger lung capacity helps them in breathing in colder air.

What is the signal for a vesicle storing peptide hormone to move to the plasma membrane and release contents of vesicle?
a. Activation of an integrin receptor
b. Activation of a g-protein
c. Activation of an enzyme linked receptor
d. Increase in [Ca++]i
e. Increase in [Na+]i
Answer:
(d). Increase in [Ca++]i
Explanation:
Peptide hormones are hormones, synthesized by polymerization of amino acids that generally bind with receptors present on membrane of target cells. These hormones are produced in ER (endoplasmic reticulum) and are packed into secretory vesicles in Golgi for export.
These peptide hormone storing vesicles move to membrane of target cell and release their content due to increase in intracellular calcium (Ca++) ions concentration.
Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
The structure of a Neuron: ___________ contains nucleus and organelles; _________ receives nerve impulses and conducts it towards cell body whereas _________ conducts nerve impulses away from the body.
Answer:
The structure of a Neuron: Soma/cell body contains nucleus and organelles; dendrites receives nerve impulses and conducts it towards cell body whereas axon conducts nerve impulses away from the body.
Explanation:
A neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. A neuron has three main structural components namely, soma, one axon, and many dendrites.
Soma is the metabolic center of the neuron and does not participate in conduction of nerve impulse. Many small extensions arise from the soma and are called dendrites. The function of dendrites is to carry the nerve impulse from axon terminals of the presynaptic neuron towards soma.
One large extension of soma is axon that carries the nerve impulse from soma to the axon terminals.
A cell bearing CD8 on its surface would be most similar to or have the most in common with which of the following cells?
Question 8 options:
follicular dendritic cells
NK cells
monocytes
macrophages
dendritic cells
Answer:
Option). NK cells.
Explanation:
Cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8) can bed defined as a transmembrane glycoprotein that acts a co-receptor for the receptor present on T cells (TCR). The CD8 is marker for [tex]T_c[/tex] cells (cytotoxic T cells) as it is predominantly present on cell surface of these cells.
Along with cytotoxic cells, CD8 molecule is also expressed in surface of natural killer cells (NK cells), thymocytes, and myeloid dendritic cells.
Hence, a cell having CD8 on its surface (cytotoxic T cell) would be most similar to NK cells.
The correct answer is c. monocytes.
CD8, also known as cluster of differentiation 8, is a protein found on the surface of certain cells of the immune system. Specifically, CD8 is expressed on the surface of cytotoxic T cells, which are a type of lymphocyte that plays a crucial role in the immune response. These cells are capable of directly killing infected cells, particularly those infected with viruses or transformed by cancer.
Monocytes are a type of white blood cell that circulate in the blood and can differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells once they migrate into tissues. Monocytes express CD8 at a lower level compared to the high levels found on cytotoxic T cells, but they are still part of the immune system's response to infection and are involved in phagocytosis and antigen presentation.
Let's consider the other options:
a. Follicular dendritic cells: These cells are found in lymphoid follicles and are involved in the humoral immune response by presenting antigens to B cells. They do not express CD8.
b. NK cells (Natural Killer cells): These cells are part of the innate immune system and can kill infected or cancerous cells without prior sensitization. While they share some functions with CD8+ T cells, they do not express CD8.
d. Dendritic cells: These are antigen-presenting cells that process antigen material and present it on the surface to other cells of the immune system. They can express CD8, but not typically at the levels seen on cytotoxic T cells.
e. Macrophages: These are specialized cells involved in the detection, phagocytosis, and destruction of bacteria and other harmful organisms. While they can be derived from monocytes, they do not typically express CD8.
Therefore, monocytes are the cells that would be most similar to or have the most in common with a cell bearing CD8 on its surface, as they can express CD8 and are part of the immune system's response.
The build-up of ketone bodies is a result of?
A) Acetoacetic acid being broken down to acid phosphatase
B) The inability of the body to properly break down glucose in the liver
C) The inability of the body to break down fatty acid in the heart
D) A liberation of co A part of the acetyl group which cannot diffuse out of cells and the conversion of acetoacetic acid into beta hydroxybutyric acid
Answer:

1. Certain species of fish are unsafe to consume in high quantities because these fish A. ingest other fish that are poisonous to humans. B. contain vitamins that aren't water-soluble and can cause toxicity. C. are endangered species. D. have high levels of metals in them from cancer-causing pesticides.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
I would say D because chemicals from farms run off into local waters where you catch fish from. These chemicals were not made for human consumption, some were made to keep animals off farms.
Ingest other fish that are poisonous to humans, so that they are poisonous and unsafe to consume.i.e, option A is correct.
What is food chain?Food chain, in ecology, the sequence of transfers of matter and energy in the form of food from organism to organism. Food chains intertwine locally into a food web because most organisms consume more than one type of animal or plant.
In a food chain a primary consumers eats the producer, a secondary consumer eats the primary consumer and then the tertiary consumer eats the secondary consumer. The level of poison will increase as it goes down the food chain so the tertiary consumer will have the highest amount of toxins in it.

What is the state of Michigan doing to fix the problem of purple loosestrifes? (invasive species)
I need a source( from where did you get the answer)
The purple loosestirfes are a beautiful wild plant. They are native of Eurasia, more specifically Macedonia, and they have been brought by accident in North America. Once there, this plant managed to spread out very quickly in the wetlands, rapidly overtaking the territory of the native species. The problem became very serious, especially in Michigan, so the scientists from the universities started to make projects in order to stop this invasive species from destroying the local flora and even fauna. The biggest steps made have been by releasing natural enemies of this plant where it has spread out. The natural enemies are all insects, and they have selectively been released to be only harmful tot he purple loosestrife, but not the other plants. The effects have been good, as the insects managed to reduce the density of this invasive species by a lot, opening up space for the native species to thrive again.

The first line of defense against pathogens includes:
A. Inflammation and phagocytosis
B. The skin and mucous membranes
C. Interferon and complement
D. Fever and lysozyme
E. Skin and phagocytosis
Answer: Option B
Explanation: The first line of defense acts a barrier and does not allows the foreign materials to enter inside the body. It includes chemical and physical barriers that are always ready to protect the body from infection.
Example: Skin and mucous membrane.
Skin is largest organ and it acts as a barrier between pathogens and human body. It acts a waterproof material and the pathogens cannot get inside through skin unless the skin is broken.
Mucous membranes also acts as first line of defense and breaks the cell wall of many bacteria entering through the openings of the body.
So, skin and mucous membrane are the first line of defense.

If a volcano were to erupt and release large amounts of ash into the air, how would this affect the climate on Earth? A. The ash would increase the albedo and decrease the global temperature. B. The ash would decrease the albedo and increase the global temperature. C. The ash would increase the greenhouse gases, thus increasing temperature. D. The ash would decrease the greenhouse gases, thus decreasing temperature.
Answer:
A. The ash would increase the albedo and decrease the global temperature
Explanation:
The volcanoes can have a big impact on the global temperature. If the volcanic eruption is big enough, and the volcanoes manages to propel very large amount of ash in the atmosphere, the whole planet will feel the effect. The ash will make a layer in the atmosphere around the planet. This layer will increase the albedo of the atmosphere, as the ash will block big portion of the sunlight. That will result in much less sunlight reaching the surface of the Earth, thus in sharp decrease in the global temperatures.
Mrs. Jones blood typing results showed agglutination with the plasma containing anti - B antibodies only. What is her blood type and what blood can she receive in order to save her life?
Answer:
Mrs Jones Blood type= B type.
Safe transfusion from: B and O blood type.
Explanation:
In the given example, the anti-B antibodies are present in the donor plasma. Since anti-B antibodies react with B antigen present on the RBCs of blood, Mrs. Jones should have B antigen on the surface of her RBCs. The blood type with only B-antigen on the RBC's surface is blood type "B".
Hence, her blood type is "B" type which has B antigens that react with anti B antibodies of the donor plasma causing agglutination and hemolysis of RBCs.
She can get the blood of B and O blood types. Blood type O is a universal blood type as it does not have B or A antigens on the surface of its RBCs to initiate the agglutination.
