Use the following information to answer Questions 18 through 20. Despite its name, the Pacific sea horse is actually a type of f

ish. Its horse-shaped head gives it its name. This creature lives in the Pacific waters off the west coast of the Americas, from Peru to Southern California. Like many other ocean fish, sea horses face the constant challenge of losing water to their saltier environment.
18) When a Pacific sea horse’s body loses water to its environment, which process is responsible?

A) Exocytosis


B) Facilitated diffusion


C) Osmosis

19) When the sea horse eats a meal, its body breaks down organic molecules in the food. Some of those molecules enter cellular respiration, which ultimately produces the molecule ATP. In which part of the sea horse’s cells is ATP produced?

A) Golgi apparatus


B) Vacuoles


C) Mitochondria

20) When a sea horse sees a predator, its nervous system kicks into high gear. A charge reversal wave will travel the length of the nerve cell. When the impulse reaches the end of one nerve cell it must travel across the synapse to the next cell. Neurotransmitters exit one cell and enter another via a method of active transport called, exocytosis. Which structure is responsible for transmitting signals from one nerve cell to the next via this process?

A) Ribosome


B) Cell Membrane


C) Nucleus

18.

The correct answer is option C) Osmosis.

The transport of the water molecules takes place through the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of the water molecules down the concentration gradient through a semipermeable membrane.

19.

The correct answer option C) Mitochondria.

In the eukaryotic cells, the mitochondria is the site of the ATP synthesis, that is why, it is also referred as powerhouse of the cell.

20.

The correct answer is option B) Cell Membrane .

During the excitation of the cells, depolarization of the cell membranes takes place by the exchange of the ions. Hence, the cell membrane are responsible for the transmission of the signals propulsion.

Mariyam, a marine biologist, measures the length of a great white shark at 4.5 m long and its teeth at an average of 50 mm long.
Oksana_A [137]
Metres are exactly 100 cm in length, the easiest way to go from metres to centimetres is to simply add the extra 1 or 2 zeros, so 4.5 metres would be 450 centimetres.

As for the millimetres, 1mm is equal to 0.1cm, once again, just move the decimal forward by one numeral, and you'll have the converted value, making 50mm = 5.0cm.

Your shark would be 450cm long and have teeth with an average length of 5cm.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

d. transcription factors

Explanation:

Transcription factors are the proteins present in cells that are involved in the regulation of gene expression. The transcription factors may increase or decrease the expression of a gene. Therefore, a transcription factor may serve as an activator or repressor for a gene. These proteins bind to a regulatory sequence present near or within a gene, interact with RNA polymerase or other transcription factors and thereby, affect the transcription initiation.

Since binding of dioxin to certain proteins alter the pattern of gene expression in the cells, these proteins are the transcription factors. For instance, dioxin may bind to a transcription factor and up-regulate the expression of genes which in turn regulate the cell division.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

2.Less than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.

Explanation:

The two alleles chosen do not affect the fitness of flies in the lab environment, so Kerr and Wright could be confident that if changes in the frequency of normal and forked phenotypes occurred, they would not be due to natural selection.

Using a larger breeding population would not be expected to alter the outcome of the experiment.

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Reinforcement

Explanation:

Reinforcement can be referred to as anything that can be used to increase, enhance or strengthen a desirable behavior in a person or an organism. Reinforcement is of two types, they include positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement. Positive reinforcement has to do with adding a reward in order to enhance a desirable behavior, while negative reinforcement has to do with removing an undesirable thing in order to strengthen a desirable behavior.

From the question asked,  because the presence of insects after moving the decaying logs increased the frequency at which the bears moved the decaying logs, the finding of the insects is, therefore, a reinforcement. The finding of the enhanced or strengthened the desirable behavior.
