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.

List all six stages of the sensory pathway when an animal responds to information about its environment.
Anton [14]

Explanation:

There basically four stages of sensory pathway when an animal responds to information about its environment.

and these stages of pathway are Reception,  transduction, transmission, and perception.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Since albinism is an autosomal recessive trait, it means that both parents must possess the gene for it, for the albinism to occur.

Thus, David could be the father if both Rose and David are carriers(heterozygotes) for the albino allele.

Neurons that carry impulses from the eyes to the spinal cord and brain are called 5. motor neurons carry impulses from the brain
earnstyle [38]
<span>4. The neurons that carry impulses from the eyes to the spinal cord and brain are called the Sensory neurons. Sensory neurons are nerve cells within the nervous system responsible for converting external stimuli from the organism's environment into internal electrical impulses.

 5. Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to and from the Muscles and glands. The motor neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles, and therefore directly control all of our muscle movements. There are two types of motor neurons, those that travel from spinal cord to muscle (lower motor neurons) and those that travel between the brain and spinal cord (upper motor neurons)

6. The neuron's cell body has short, branched extensions called dendrites. Dendrites are tree-like extensions at the beginning of a neuron that help increase the surface are of the cell body. They receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma (cell body). They are also covered with synapses.

7. In most animals and of different neurons are clustered in bundles called nerves Axons and dendrites. Axon is the elongated fiber that extends from the cell body to the terminal endings and transmits the neural signal. The larger the diameter of the axon, the faster it transmit information. Most neurons have only one axon, they transmit impulses from the cell body and also may or may not have a myelin covering.

8. The insulating membrane that surrounds a single axon in some neurons is called the Myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds fibres called axons, the long thin projections that extend from the main body of anerve cell or neuron. It is composed of proteins and lipids. The main function is to protect and insulate these axons and enhance their transmission of electrical impulses.</span>

Advocard [28]

The two possible consequences are increased producers and increased primary consumers for an increased population of smaller fish. If the population of smaller fish is increased, the population of primary consumers will increase by 10 times of smaller fish and producers will increase by 10 times of primary consumers.
