Answer:
Explanation:
Water Levels
For example, the cardiovascular, urinary, and lymphatic systems all help the body control water balance. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems transport fluids throughout the body and help sense both solute and water levels and regulate pressure. If the water level gets too high, the urinary system produces more dilute urine (urine with a higher water content) to help eliminate the excess water. If the water level gets too low, more concentrated urine is produced so that water is conserved.
Internal Temperatures
Similarly, the cardiovascular, integumentary (skin and associated structures), respiratory, and muscular systems work together to help the body maintain a stable internal temperature. If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin’s surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air. The skin may also produce sweat if the body gets too hot; when the sweat evaporates, it helps to cool the body. Rapid breathing can also help the body eliminate excess heat. Together, these responses to increased body temperature explain why you sweat, pant, and become red in the face when you exercise hard. (Heavy breathing during exercise is also one way the body gets more oxygen to your muscles, and gets rid of the extra carbon dioxide produced by the muscles.)
Conversely, if your body is too cold, blood vessels in the skin contract, and blood flow to the extremities (arms and legs) slows. Muscles contract and relax rapidly, which generates heat to keep you warm. The hair on your skin rises, trapping more air, which is a good insulator, near your skin. These responses to decreased body temperature explain why you shiver, get “goose bumps,” and have cold, pale extremities when you are cold.
Homeostasis of Ions
Body functions such as regulation of the heartbeat, contraction of muscles, activation of enzymes, and cellular communication require tightly regulated calcium levels. Normally, we get a lot of calcium from our diet. The small intestine absorbs calcium from digested food.
The endocrine system is the control center for regulating blood calcium homeostasis. The parathyroid and thyroid glands contain receptors that respond to levels of calcium in the blood. In this feedback system, blood calcium level is the variable, because it changes in response to the environment. Changes in blood calcium level have the following effects:
When blood calcium is low, the parathyroid gland secretes parathyroid hormone. This hormone causes effector organs (the kidneys and bones) to respond to increase calcium levels. The kidneys prevent calcium from being excreted in the urine. Osteoclasts in bones reabsorb bone tissue and release calcium.
When blood calcium levels are high, the thyroid gland releases calcitonin. Calcitonin causes the kidneys to reabsorb less calcium from the filtrate, allowing excess calcium to be removed from the body in urine. Calcitonin also suppresses the formation of active vitamin D in the kidneys; without vitamin D the small intestines don’t absorb as much dietary calcium. Osteoblasts, stimulated by calcitonin, use calcium in the blood to add to bone tissue.
A woman and her baby are on a TV talk show to determine whether or not a particular man is the father of the child. Mom is blood type O and the baby is blood type B. The potential dad is blood type A. Is it true or false that he is the father?
Answer:
No that is not the father
Explanation:
The fathers blood would have to be type B. Type A is dominate to O and co-dominate to B so you get AB blood, type B blood is dominate to O blood. So if the mom has to be OO to show O blood and the father has to be AA blood because he isn't AB or AO, which could make the baby AO or OO blood. Since none of this is true the "TRUE" father would have to have AB, BB, or Bo blood.

Answer:
Grabbing a handful of mixed candy out of a bowl.
Explanation:
For all other options you are choosing specific items... such as a book from the library, or choosing items written on your grocery list, or choosing what to pack for lunch. Bycatch in fishing refers to catching extra fish, other than what you are selecting for. By grabbing a handful of mixed candy from a bowl you are not selecting for a specific 'fish'.

This group of Bacteria can be pathogenic, ubiquitous in the environment whose cell walls are composed of peptidoglycan. So, the correct options are C, D and E.
What is Bacteria?
Bacteria are defined as ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms that contain a single biological cell that constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Bacteria are a few micrometers in length that were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats.
Some bacteria are harmful that serve a useful purpose that support many forms of life, both plant and animal, and are used in industrial and medicinal processes. This group A mentioned in the above example of Bacteria can be pathogenic, ubiquitous in the environment whose cell walls are composed of peptidoglycan.
So, the correct options are C, D and E.

Leaves of a healthy potted plant were coated with Vaseline to block stomata. Will this plant remain healthy for long? State three reasons for your answer.
➜ If waxy coating is made on the surface of leaf, loss of water in the form of water vapour does not take place. Even the gaseous exchange will not take place. So, photosynthesis will either be reduced or will not take place.
The plant will not remain healthy for long because:
[i] Exchange of gases will not take place.
[ii] Photosynthesis will either be reduced or will not take place due to lack of CO2.
[iii] Transpiration will not take place, so there will be no mechanism of cooling in hot weather.
Compare and contrast gradualism and punctuated equilibrium. Provide at least one comparison and one difference in your answer. You may use examples for each if that helps you with answering the question.
Answer:
Gradualism and punctuated equilibrium both are the process of evolution of species over time. However, the gradualism process involves the evolution that occurred slowly, occurring in small periodic changes in the gene pool over a long period of time. Whereas Punctuated equilibrium takes place there are longer periods of apparent stasis interrupted by the sudden change.
They both help in finding the relative change in evolution rate and assist in the study of the anatomical changes occurred during the evolution in different kind of animals or organisms.

Given the following sequence of DNA, write the correct sequence of complementary DNA bases.
TACCGATAA
Given the following sequence of DNA, write the correct sequence of complementary mRNA.
ACCGTACTG
Given the following sequence of DNA write the correct sequence of amino acids.
ATAGGCGTA
Answer:
1. ATGGCTATT
2. UGGCAUGAC
3. mRNA: UAU-CCG-CAU, amino acids: tyrosine(tyr)-proline(pro)-histidine(his)
Explanation:
For DNA, the complementary bases are T=A and C=G. This means every time you see one of these letters, the corresponding letter goes with it. For mRNA, the bases are T=A, A=U, C=G. It is the same except now, there should be no "T" in the mRNA sequence. With amino acids, you would first code for the mRNA sequence, every three letters being the amino acid sequence. To find the amino acid, you would look at a codon chart unless your teacher wants you to memorize them. The first three letters of the amino acid are the abbreviation.

What is biomass burned to produce
Answer:
Burning either fossil fuels or biomass releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. However, the plants that are the source of biomass for energy capture almost the same amount of CO2 through photosynthesis while growing as is released when biomass is burned, which can make biomass a carbon-neutral energy source.
