Answer:
The dependent variable is the amount of ice that melted away
Explanation:
In an experiment, the dependent variable is what is affected by/changed by the IV (which is the type of salt, in this experiment)
The type of salt will change how much ice melted away, which means that the amount of ice that is melted away will be the dependent variable.
In the microarray analysis some genes, such as ERB-B2 and ESR1, have been found to be associated with particular disease or conditions such as cancer. Other genes, such as the ABC-B2 gene, are not associated with a disease but are involved in resistance to certain drugs or treatments. Why would it be useful to test for the expression of genes like the ABC-B2 gene on the microarray
Answer:
The expression of genes associated with drug resistance leads to the reduction in the effectiveness of drugs against cancer cells.
Explanation:
In cancer, drug resistance is produced when oncogenic cells are able to develop mechanisms of resistance against drugs such as, for example, chemotherapeutic agents. In these cases, therapeutic treatments become ineffective to fight against cancer cells and tumor progression. In consequence, it is imperative to trace the expression of target oncogenes associated with drug resistance in order to provide effective treatments to eliminate cancer cells.

The respiratory system allows for gas exchange to happen in the lungs. How do the respiratory and cardiovascular systems interact?
Well, the respiratory system is responsible for bringing oxygen into the body. Blood passes in capillaries in the lungs and picks up the oxygen. Blood carries oxygen to different parts of the body. Then the blood take carbon dioxide, a waste gas, back to the lungs. Then the lungs expel the carbon dioxide when you exhale.

Which of the following statements best describes the role of hormones in the body? Hormones send chemical signals throughout the body to regulate body processes.
Answer:
Hormone production and release are primarily controlled by negative feedback. In negative feedback systems, a stimulus elicits the release of a substance; once the substance reaches a certain level, it sends a signal that stops further release of the substance. In this way, the concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within a narrow range. For example, the anterior pituitary signals the thyroid to release thyroid hormones. Increasing levels of these hormones in the blood then give feedback to the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary to inhibit further signaling to the thyroid gland, as illustrated in Figure 18.14. There are three mechanisms by which endocrine glands are stimulated to synthesize and release hormones: humoral stimuli, hormonal stimuli, and neural stimuli.
Explanation:
Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive. Which of the conditions are the following two patients most likely to have?
Patient A has symptoms including weight gain, cold sensitivity, low heart rate and fatigue.
Patient B has symptoms including weight loss, profuse sweating, increased heart rate and difficulty sleeping.Humoral Stimuli
The term “humoral” is derived from the term “humor,” which refers to bodily fluids such as blood. A humoral stimulus refers to the control of hormone release in response to changes in extracellular fluids such as blood or the ion concentration in the blood. For example, a rise in blood glucose levels triggers the pancreatic release of insulin. Insulin causes blood glucose levels to drop, which signals the pancreas to stop producing insulin in a negative feedback loop.
Hormonal stimuli refers to the release of a hormone in response to another hormone. A number of endocrine glands release hormones when stimulated by hormones released by other endocrine glands. For example, the hypothalamus produces hormones that stimulate the anterior portion of the pituitary gland. The anterior pituitary in turn releases hormones that regulate hormone production by other endocrine glands. The anterior pituitary releases the thyroid-stimulating hormone, which then stimulates the thyroid gland to produce the hormones T3 and T4. As blood concentrations of T3 and T4 rise, they inhibit both the pituitary and the hypothalamus in a negative feedback loop.
The statement that describes the role of hormones in the body is Enzymes reduce the activation energies of biological reactions.
What are hormones?Hormones are chemicals that are secreted by the two glands, endocrine and exocrine glands.

Suggest an intracellular regulatory molecule (from your text) that growth factors might stimulate to control cell division. Please describe how it works.
Answer:
E2F transcription factors
Explanation:
The E2F transcription factors (TFs) encode intracellular factors associated with the control of the cell cycle. E2F are TFs that bind to promoter consensus sequences in order to activate transcription. These TFs control the expression of target genes involved in cell proliferation including, among others, genes for DNA replication and mitotic activation. Moreover, the E2F proteins also may act as a link between cell fate and the cell cycle. The retinoblastoma (Rb) is a protein that modulates the activity of the E2F family of TFs, and it has been shown that the Rb/E2F pathway is a key molecular mechanism associated with cell proliferation.
New mutations can also occur randomly, so there’s a chance that children of parents who didn’t inherit the gene for Huntington’s can develop a mutation in the gene that causes Huntington’s disease explain how protein synthesis contributes to the symptoms of the disease
Answer:
It depends on the mutation rate
Explanation:
Mutations are genetic changes that occur naturally by errors during DNA replication which are not repaired by the DNA repair mechanisms. When a mutation occurs in the germline line, it may pass to the next generations and thus perpetuate itself. Huntington's disorder is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with a trinucleotide repeat mutation in the huntingtin (HTT) gene localized on chromosome 4, which encodes the Huntingtin protein. It has been shown that the high levels of Huntingtin are linked to Huntington's disorder, thereby it is believed that this mutation might be associated with a higher expression of the HTT gene.

5. Motor neuron signal the leg muscles
2. She immediately moves her foot.
Explanation:
The reflex arc refers to an action mechanism that responds to different stimuli. It is an involuntary reaction involving different nervous vias. The reflex arc is composed of receptors, afferent nervous fibers, efferent nervous fibers, and effectors.
Receptors are located in nervous terminals and are widely distributed in the organism. Receptors are capable of receiving stimuli from different nature, and most of them are specialized in one kind of stimuli such as vision, audition, touch, among others. In the exposed example, these sensory receptors were located in the toe, and probably they were touch receptors.
When they receive the stimulus the sensory neuron transforms it into an excitatory nervous impulse that goes to the central nervous system along the afferent nerves. This stage is known as the afferent via, beginning with the environmental information received by sensory receptors, and ending in the arrival of the transcripted message to the central nervous system.
When the central nervous system receives the information, it processes it and sends an appropriate answer according to the stimulus. The message goes along the interneurons to the motor fibers, which are in charge of taking that answer to its destiny, the effectors. Effectors are usually muscles or glands, and they transform the received impulse into a motor answer that executes the reflex action. In the exposed example, the effector in the muscle. This stage is known as the efferent via, beginning in the central nervous system sending an answer impulse and ending in the effector (muscle) executing the answer.

Since viruses are typically 20-200nm in diameter.. what is the best microscope to view them?
Answer:
electron microscope
Explanation:
Due to their extremely small size, the best microscope to view viruses would be the electron microscope.
The electron microscope has the capability to create resolved images of extremely small objects by utilizing electrons as a source of light instead of the visible light photon that is typical of light microscopes.
There are different two types of electron microscopes:
the scanning electron microscope, andthe transmission electron microscope.A typical scanning electron microscope creates an image of an object by detecting knock-off electrons from the object, whereas a transmission electron microscope uses electrons that pass through the object to create the image of the object.
Estimate the volume of a human heart (in mL) using the following measurements/assumptions: Blood flow through the aorta is approximately 11.2 cm/s The diameter of the aorta is approximately 3.0 cm Assume the heart pumps its own volume with each beat Assume a pulse rate of 67 beats per minute.
Answer:
The correct answer is 70.92 ml.
Explanation:
Based on the given question, the rate of the flow of blood through the aorta (v) is 11.2 cm/s.
The given diameter of aorta is 3.0 cm
Thus, the radius (r) of aorta will be, 3.0/2 = 1.5 cm
The cross-sectional area of the aorta (A) will be calculated by using the formula, πr²
= π ×(1.5)² cm²
= 2.25 π cm²
The pulse rate given is 67 beats per minute, therefore, time taken for 67 beats is 60 seconds, hence, time taken for 1 beat will be 60/67 second
Now the volume of the heart will be,
= A × v × t
= 2.25 π cm² × 11.2 cm/s × 60/67 s
= 70.92 cm³
As 1 cm³ is equal to 1 ml. So, the volume of a human heart will be 70.92 ml.

Yellow dung flies (Scathophaga stercoraria) are diploid organisms with 12 chromosomes in their diploid cells. Without taking into account recombination, how many different genetic gametes can this fly generate based on the arrangement of its chromosomes in the metaphase plate during meiosis
In the given case, the sum of the number of gametes possible in the fruit fly is 2¹² or 4096.
Determination of the number of genetic gametes:
At metaphase I, the arrangement of chromosomes takes place at the equatorial plate and at the equator, the orientation of homologous pairs takes place randomly. This orientation helps in finding the genes found within a gamete as each of the gametes will get only one chromatid of a chromosome.
Now by independent assortment, the variation occurs within the gametes, which suggests that the alleles of distinct genes separate independently from one another at the time of cell differentiation. Due to independent assortment, the number of different kinds of gametes possible within the chromosomes can be determined by using the formula, 2ⁿ, where n is the number of chromosomes present within a set.
Thus, based on the given information, the number of chromosomes present in a fruit fly is 12. Thus, the sum of the number of gametes possible in the mentioned fruit fly is 2¹² or 4096.

Answer:
Thyroid hormones
Explanation:
Animals and people exposed to pesticides such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, have shown to be affected by their effect on the thyroid. These chemicals can produce endocrine alterations acting as thyroid disrupters. They affect many mechanisms in the organisms such as inhibition of thyroid iodine uptake, interference with the thyroid hormone receptor, binding to transport proteins, among others. They cause toxicity in the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.
There are many studies that associate thyroid diseases with exposure to organochloride pesticides. Significant alteration in the TSH, T3, and T4 levels have been expressed by people directly or indirectly exposed to the chemicals.

There are two primary models of the universe. One is the expanding model, which says that the universe is constantly increasing in size. The other is, the steady state model, which says that the universe is approximately constant in size and shape. What evidence would you expect to see if the expanding model were correct?
Answer:
Ok, suppose that the universe is expanding:
If the universe is expanding, then the distance between "fixed" points in the universe (we can set the fixed points as planets, galaxies, etc) would change with the time.
This means that, if the distance between the Earth and a given star or planet (that is not in our nearby region) should change as time goes by.
Now, this was actually observed:
There is something called the doppler effect:
In a short way, if an object is moving away, the light that comes from that object will have a red shift (it seems a little more reddish than it actually is)
If the object is moving towards us, the light that comes from the object will have a blue shift (it seems a little more blueish than it actually is)
Those shifts can be observed from the Earth, so from that is safe to conclude that the expanding model is actually correct.
Answer:
Observing objects in the sky that gradually move away from Earth could prove that the expanding model is correct.
