Answer:
The whale is heterotrophic.
Explanation:
All living organisms require energy for their life processes. In nature, this energy source is obtained by feeding on one another. When one organism eats another, it gets energy. In this case, a large whale is described to be reliant on a photosynthetic phytoplankton for its energy source.
The phytoplankton is capable of producing its own energy source (food) via the process of photosynthesis. Hence, making it an autotrophic organism. However, since the large whale is dependent on the phytoplankton for food/energy source, it is regarded to be heterotrophic i.e. incapable of producing its own food, hence, depends on other organism like phytoplankton in this case.

Facilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cell Facilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cell
A) Yes; sodium ion cotransport is required for facilitated diffusion of glucose.
B) No; sodium ion cotransport is required for simple diffusion of glucose, but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose.
C) No; sodium ion cotransport is required for active transport of glucose, but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose.
Answer: Option A.
Yes; sodium ion cotransport is required for facilitated diffusion of glucose.
Explanation:
Glucose is transported in the cell through facilitated diffussion because it is a large molecule and it will very difficult to be transported across the cell membrane through normal diffusion, so it is transported across the the concentration gradients.
sodium ion cotransport is required for facilitated diffusion of glucose because both glucose and sodium cannot be transported through simple diffussion so they pass through specific channels in the hydrophobic barrier formed by membrane proteins. Thereby crossing the membrane, the diffusion is facilitated by the channels but glucose and sodium must move against a concentration gradients tone transported.
Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides. Homopolysaccarides are made up of only one type of monomer, whereas heteropolysaccharides are composed of at least two different kinds of monomers.
Are starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin classified as homopolymers or heteropolymers?
A. All four polysaccharides are homopolymers.
B. All four polysaccharides are heteropolymers.
C. Starch is a heteropolymer, whereas chitin, cellulose, and glycogen are homopolymers.
D. Chitin is a heteropolymer, whereas starch, cellulose, and glycogen are homopolymers.
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
All four types of polysaccharides are homopolymers ie they are made up of repeating units of only one type of monomers.
Starch, glycogen and cellulose are made up of repeating monomeric units of glucose with the number of glucose units and the different linkage types different these molecules. E.g the linkage between glucose units in glycogen is alpha 1-4 linkages and in cellulose, we have glucose in beta 1-4 linkages.
In chitin, a derivative of glucose is present in repeating units, here, we have N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in beta 1-4 linkages.

Which of the following statements best describes the role of hormones in the body? Hormones send chemical signals throughout the body to regulate body processes.
Answer:
Hormone production and release are primarily controlled by negative feedback. In negative feedback systems, a stimulus elicits the release of a substance; once the substance reaches a certain level, it sends a signal that stops further release of the substance. In this way, the concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within a narrow range. For example, the anterior pituitary signals the thyroid to release thyroid hormones. Increasing levels of these hormones in the blood then give feedback to the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary to inhibit further signaling to the thyroid gland, as illustrated in Figure 18.14. There are three mechanisms by which endocrine glands are stimulated to synthesize and release hormones: humoral stimuli, hormonal stimuli, and neural stimuli.
Explanation:
Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive. Which of the conditions are the following two patients most likely to have?
Patient A has symptoms including weight gain, cold sensitivity, low heart rate and fatigue.
Patient B has symptoms including weight loss, profuse sweating, increased heart rate and difficulty sleeping.Humoral Stimuli
The term “humoral” is derived from the term “humor,” which refers to bodily fluids such as blood. A humoral stimulus refers to the control of hormone release in response to changes in extracellular fluids such as blood or the ion concentration in the blood. For example, a rise in blood glucose levels triggers the pancreatic release of insulin. Insulin causes blood glucose levels to drop, which signals the pancreas to stop producing insulin in a negative feedback loop.
Hormonal stimuli refers to the release of a hormone in response to another hormone. A number of endocrine glands release hormones when stimulated by hormones released by other endocrine glands. For example, the hypothalamus produces hormones that stimulate the anterior portion of the pituitary gland. The anterior pituitary in turn releases hormones that regulate hormone production by other endocrine glands. The anterior pituitary releases the thyroid-stimulating hormone, which then stimulates the thyroid gland to produce the hormones T3 and T4. As blood concentrations of T3 and T4 rise, they inhibit both the pituitary and the hypothalamus in a negative feedback loop.
The statement that describes the role of hormones in the body is Enzymes reduce the activation energies of biological reactions.
What are hormones?Hormones are chemicals that are secreted by the two glands, endocrine and exocrine glands.

An arthropod has all the following characteristics except:
a. three embryonic germ layer
b. pseudocoelom
c. bilateral symmetry
d. protosome development
e. true tissues
Answer:
b. pseudocoelom
Explanation:
A pseudocoelom is a false body cavity of some invertebrates which occupies the space localized between the mesoderm and the endoderm of the gut. This false cavity is found in nematodes.
Arthropods exhibit:
1- Bilateral symmetry because both opposite sides of the body are similar,
2- they are protostomes because the blastopore becomes the mouth during embryonic development,
3- they have true tissues because tissues are formed by groups of cells which share a common function, and finally,
4-arthropods are triploblastic because they are formed by three germ embryonic layers (endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm).
Mutations in region B and region D give the same results - when either of these regions is mutated, the operon is expressed under all conditions (called constitutive expression). You hypothesize that region B is the operator region and that Region D is the repressor protein. To test your hypothesis, you create two partial diploid lines by introducing a F' plasmid with a wild-type lac operon: Strain 1: F' A B C D E / A B- C D E Strain 2: F' A B C D E / A B C D- E What experimental results would be predicted by your hypothesis
Answer:
As it is given in the question that region D is the repressor protein and operator region is region B then the The repressor region D form a protein that will bind to the operator region B and leads to inhibition of the transcription. So, the repressor protein will not repressed a mutant operator and the lac gene will express itself constitutively.
Strain 1: F' A B C D E / A B- C D E
In this strain the mutant opertor gene is present so, it will not repressed by F' as it will not be able to bind. Hence, the lac gene expression is constitutive.
Strain 2: F' A B C D E / A B C D- E
In this strain there is two protein produced by the F' plasmid mutated repressor protein, and a non-mutated repressor protein. As we know mutated repressor will not bind to operator gene and still expression will take place but here a extra not mutated non-mutated protein is present and the repressor protein from F' will bind to the operator region B and thus repress the expression of gene in it.
If a small drop of tiny particles such as pollen grains are dropped into a drop of water on a microscope slide, they will appear to vibrate and spread out. The primary reason for this is
Answer:
The primary reason is that the pollen grains are being struck by water molecules that move in different directions. These strikes fluctuate and sometimes are uneven.
Explanation:
This vibration and spread out of molecules in water is called Brownian Motion. It is the result of the collision of small particles of water with big particles of pollen. As the particles of water move randomly hitting different sides of the pollen particle, at times, there will not be a coordinated movement, but as the movement of water particles is random, there will be moments when one side of the pollen particle will collide with more water particles, when this happens there is an unbalanced force that makes the pollen particle moves in a direction.

a) List three examples of ruminant livestock. b) Describe how ruminant cattle digest food? c) Why do cattle produce more methane than other types of animals?
Answer:
a)Ruminants include cattle, sheep, goats, buffalo, deer, elk, giraffes and camels. These animals all have a digestive system that is uniquely different from our own. Instead of one compartment to the stomach they have four. Of the four compartments the rumen is the largest section and the main digestive centre.
b)Digestion in ruminants occurs sequentially in a four-chambered stomach. ... The mass is finally passed to the true stomach, the Abomassum, where the digestive enzyme lysozyme breaks down the bacteria so as to release nutrients.
c)The difficult-to-digest grass ferments in the cows' stomachs, where it interacts with microbes and produces gas. Thus,cattle produce more methane than other types of animals.

c. increased number of meals eaten outside the home
Explanation:
Environment is the surrounding of living organism, where he gets to survive by meeting its needs.
Environmental factors are factors in the environment that are associated to growth and development example is temperature.
The environment an individual stays have a great influence on the physical expression and character of the individual.
For a fat person the environment had played out his role which should be controlled to achieve a significant weight loss. Increasing number of meals eaten outside the house is one major factor that would not allow such individual to loose weight. Intake of food should be greatly controlled and watched to achieve weight loss.

Describe what the roots of this plant should look like according to your identification in part a above addressing the presence or absence of the following parts: • Tap root • Lateral root • Fibrous root system • Trichomes
Answer:
Tap root
Explanation:
A large majority of dicotyledonous plants are capable of producing tap roots, which is part of a primary rot system that grows in the vertical direction - downwards. Sometimes it serves the function of storing food, as in the case of dandelions.
One main role that the trichomes (fine hair-like outgrowth) play is to defend the plant against certain insects.
HELP!! PLS O.o Looking at the heat circulation in the ocean, what might happen to it if large amounts of cold water are added in the Polar Regions as glaciers melt? (3 points) Based on your response above, what effect could this have on the climate in your area?
Answer:
The warm upper waters towards the poles from the tropic is done by surface circulation. If large amounts of cold water are added in the Polar regions as glaciers melt then the hot water cannot flow to the poles, the cold water will make the water very dense, which won’t allow warm upper waters to flow.
The effect it would have in the climate of my area is that it will increase the temperature of the local areas because of the rise in temperature of the surface ocean water.

Herceptin cancer fighting antibodies cannot be produced through genetic engineering of bacteria. What is used instead to accomplish this? A. Selecting cells that produce a large amount of Herceptin to reproduce over generations B. Genetically engineered mammalian cells C. Genetically engineered Bacteriophages D. Producing them with chemicals instead of inside cells
Answer:
B. Genetically engineered mammalian cells
Explanation:
Herceptin is a monoclonal antibody that binds (attach) to specific antigens in cancer cells to destroy them. This antibody is used in the treatment of different types of cancers including breast and gastric carcinoma, in which HER2/neu protein is overexpressed. Herceptin targets HER2/neu receptors present in cancer cells to kill them. HER2/neu is a protein signaling receptor involved in cell proliferation, thereby this antibody works to selectively target cells that have an excess of HER2/neu receptors such as gastric and breast cancer cells.
Select the statements that explain why duplication is a driving force for evolution and the generation of new genes.
a. Genes duplicate and then diverge from the original sequence to create multigene families.
b. Duplication of a chromosomal region always results in novel gene functions.
c. Changes in gene function can occur when random fixed mutations are introduced into a new chromosomal environment.
d. Duplicated genes provide extra copies of DNA that are not constrained by an essential function.
Answer:
The correct statements are - a, c, and d.
Explanation:
Gene duplication delivers new genes and families of genes due to some arbitrary changes over some undefined time frame.gene duplication at various locations can create new genes with either advantageous or unsafe impacts. Arbitrary changes can prompt an additional duplicate of DNA bringing about dosage compensation where the deciding mutations can be lost.
Gene and genome duplications give a source of hereditary material for mutation, float, and selection to work on, making new evolutionary opportunities conceivable. Accordingly, many have contended that genome duplication is a prevailing element in the development of the evolution of complexity and diversity.
Thus, the correct answer is - a, c, and d.

Come up with your own story of a trophic cascade, describing how the organisms occupying the different trophic levels would be affected
Answer:
The leafhoppers eat plant tissues and, at the same time, they are eaten by spiders that are the food of large lizards. Finally, these lizards are the food of birds that are eaten by snakes.
Explanation:
The food chain starts with primary producers such as plants and algae (i.e., level 1), then goes through herbivorous species including insects and fish (level 2) and finally ends with carnivores such as rodents, snakes and hedgehogs (levels 3, 4 and sometimes 5, which depends on presence of larger predators). Thus, the trophic levels are represented by the number of steps of the food chain. In an ecosystem, the organisms can also be classified according to the mode of obtaining the food in producers (autotrophs), consumers (heterotrophs) and reducers (detritivores).

In binary fission, the two new cells that are formed are susceptible to the same antibiotic.
In conjugation, bacterial DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a replicating virus
In transduction, the cells that are formed are susceptible to the same antibiotic.
In transformation, a special sex pilus is required to connect two bacterial cells.
Answer:
In binary fission, the two new cells that are formed are susceptible to the same antibiotic.
Explanation:
Binary fission is the most common type of asexual reproduction in bacteria. Binary fission involves the duplication of the genetic information (i.e., bacterial DNA) and the subsequent separation into two cells during cytokinesis. It is a type of prokaryotic asexual reproduction where replication and segregation are simultaneous processes. Binary fission does not involve the incorporation of new genetic material, thereby the resulting daughter cells will inherit the same genetic information of the parental bacterium, being in this case susceptible to the same antibiotic.
