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.

Genotype. A human being's genome is made up of approximately 3 billion base pairs which make up about 2000 genes. Individuals, however, differ slightly in the sequence of their DNA in some regions. This unique genome identity is the indivudual genotype. Sequence of DNA in a genome can nowadays be determined through sequencing using Next Generation Sequencing machines

<h2>A change in one base of the gene sequence is known as point mutation.</h2>

Explanation:

Question 2 is incomplete.

3. A mutation that only affects a single nucleotide of nucleic acid is known as Point Mutation.

In Point mutations there is substitution of one base for another.

Example:                TAT TGG CTA            

                               TAC TGG CTA

The  TAT changes to TAC which shows point mutation.

4. Yes. The point mutation have an effect on the outcome compared to the normal sequence.

When there is a change in one base of the gene it results into causing disease such as cancer, sickle cell anemia.

nekit [7.7K]
I think the thalamus is the gateway to the cerebral cortex. Thalamus is a small structure within the brain located just above the brain stem between the cerebral cortex and the mid brain and has extensive nerve connections to both. Its main function is to relay motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex. A sensory impulse travels from the body surface towards the thalamus, which receives it as a sensation, which is then passed onto the cerebral cortex for interpretation as touch, pain or temperature.

zmey [24]
Answer: 4%

Out of 5000kcal, the owl loses 2300kcal which mean it could only process 2700kcal. Out of 2700kcal processed, 2500 kcal is used for cellular respiration so there is 200 kcal used to make body cells. The production efficiency would be: 200kcal/5000kcal= 4%
