Humans produce sweat as a cooling mechanism to maintain a stable internal temperature. Which of the following best explains how the properties of water contribute to this physiological process? - Correct Answers The high heat of vaporization of water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from liquid to gas A student placed a semipermeable membrane inside a U-shaped channel with two chambers, as shown. The membrane permits the movement of water but not salt. The student wants to vary the rate of osmosis that occurs across the membrane. Which of the following experimental designs will result in the fastest net

with Correct Verified Answers.

rate of water movement into chamber A? - Correct Answers Placing salt water in chamber A and distilled water in chamber B Which of the following best describes the role of water in photosynthesis? - Correct Answers Water molecules donate electrons to the electron transport chain What evolutionary advantage does compartmentalization of core metabolic processes offer eukaryotes? - Correct Answers Evolution of a nucleus in eukaryotes separates the processes of transcription and translation and they can be regulated separately

Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency is a genetic disease most commonly linked to a mutation in the a -subunit of the mitochondrial enzyme that causes the enzyme to cease functioning. As a result of the mutation, affected individuals build up dangerous amounts of lactic acid. Which of the following best explains the buildup of lactic acid in individuals with the mutation? - Correct Answers Cells undergo fermentation because pyruvate cannot be metabolized to proceed into the Krebs cycle The diagram shows how water can adhere to the xylem in the stems of plants, which contributes to water movement in the plant. Which of the following best explains how water is able to

with Correct Verified Answers.

move upward from the roots of a plant, through its xylem in the stem, and out to the leaves? - Correct Answers Water and the xylem are both polar. Water molecules have the ability to form hydrogen bonds with each other and with the walls of the xylem Protein X activates gene expression only in cells exposed to a specific signaling molecule. In a study, researchers determined the intracellular location of Protein X in cultured cells both before and after exposing the cells to the signaling molecule. The results of the study are shown in the diagram - Correct Answers Protein X is a transcription factor The hormone prolactin has varying effects in

reverses the environmental change Which of the following best describes the effect of temperature on corals' ability to produce DMSP as shown in Figure 1? - Correct Answers Both juvenile and adult corals produce less DMSP at 27°C than at 32°C Which of the following best describes the difference between the total amount of DMSP produced by adults compared to juveniles at the start of the 32°C trial? - Correct Answers Adult corals produced 5 times more DMSP than juveniles produced. In addition to the effect of temperature on DMSP produced by corals and their symbionts, which of the following relationships is also

with Correct Verified Answers.

being considered in this experiment? - Correct Answers Effect of additional DMSP produced by symbionts and the corals' age Which of the following best describes the scientists' findings concerning the density of symbionts presented in Figure 2? - Correct Answers The symbiont density at 32°C was different from the density at 27°C on days 5 and 10 of the experiment Which of the following best explains the result of adult corals being exposed to elevated temperatures for extended periods? - Correct Answers They are able to obtain less energy from their symbionts because the algae have been expelled

with Correct Verified Answers.

observed pattern of inheritance? - Correct Answers The condition is passed from mothers to offspring via a mitochondrial gene Oncogenes are genes that can cause tumor formation as a result of a particular mutation. Which of the following potential therapies would be most effective at preventing the expression of an oncogene? - Correct Answers Introducing a chemical that binds to transcription factors associated with the oncogene's promoter Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can damage DNA by breaking weak bonds. Which of the following best explains how this occurs? - Correct Answers UV radiation disrupts the double helix

structure by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous base pairs Based on the data in the table, which of the following lizard species are most closely related? - Correct Answers Species E and species D Figure 1 shows a model of the endocrine signaling pathway that regulates ovulation. Which of the following observations would provide evidence of a positive feedback mechanism in this system? - Correct Answers Estrogen from the ovaries stimulates the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary to secrete more GnRH, LH, and FSH In which of the following tubes did the greatest reduction of DCPIP occur after 60 minutes? - Correct Answers Tube 2

with Correct Verified Answers.

A scientist designed an experiment to test an artificial membrane that mimics the phospholipid bilayer of a cell. The scientist built a tube that was divided by an artificial membrane and filled with distilled water. The scientist put a known amount of a protein into the water on one side of the membrane. After some time, the scientist measured the concentration of the protein on either side of the membrane but found that there had been no change. Which of the following experimental changes would allow the scientist to observe transport of a solute across the artificial membrane? - Correct Answers Use a small, nonpolar solute instead of a protein
