Answer: Confirmation bias

Explanation:

The confirmation bias is the ability or tendency of the person to favor, interpret and believe a information based on the previous knowledge and personal believes or based on the assumptions. This is a kind of cognitive bias.

The given situation is an example of confirmation bias this is because of the fact that it is based on presumption rather than understanding based on the facts. Boris being unfamiliar with the concepts of the theory is not able to believe that the theory is true.

If you increase the number of water molecules in the extracellular fluid, will the membrane move to the right or the left in the
Igoryamba

Answer:

The membrane will move to the left in view of the applied pressure.

Explanation:

The scenario described can be perfectly illustrated through understanding the concept of osmosis.

Osmosis can be defined as the movement of particules or molecules in a solvent from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, through a semi permeable membrane.

To put differently, the movement of water molecules is from a region of lower osmotic pressure to a higher one. And for osmosis to be achieved and water molecules evenly distributed, pressure built must be slow and steady to a state of high or equilibrium.

This often results to movement of membrane to the left as a response to the osmosis phenomenon. Increasing the number of water molecules in the extra cellular fluid will thus accelerate this process, increase the pressure built up, and thus generate ripples from a lower area to a higher one. Osmosis is thus gradual and steady.

Humans and hogs have differences in only 1 out of the 51 amino acids in their insulin proteins. Hogs and guinea pigs have differ
balu736 [363]

Humans are more closely related to hogs than hogs are to guinea pigs.

Explanation:

The difference in the amino acid sequence of a protein is used to know the  relation between organism i.e. how closely they are related.

It is known that proteins are the result of DNA sequence ie genes of the organism.

The gene or protein is compared between organisms to understand the evolutionary evidence and similarities between them.

The less is the difference the more is the two organisms closely related as in the case of hog and human which have only 1 amino acid difference in their insulin enzyme. While guinea pig is having  a difference of 17 amino acids so it is expected to be distantly related.

These relations helps the scientist to resolve the issues of crisis say insulin. They zero out the possibility of extracting the enzyme genes of possible organism and increase the yield.

Masses of gray matter within the central nervous system are
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is: neuronal cell bodies, neuropil, and glial cells.

Explanation:

Nervous tissue can easily be classified in grey and white matter. Both of these matters are located in the Central Nervous System.

These specific names are given by the color these structures have. White matter consists mostly of axons, and is white because the axons are surrounded by myelin, which is a structure made of fat.

<u>Grey matter </u><u>is composed of the bodies of neuronal cells, neuropil and glial cells. The glial cells found in the grey matter are astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.</u>
