The water cycle consists of some water evaporating from the surfaces of bodies of water and going into the air. as result of air temperatures, water vapor eventually condenses and falls as rain. the rain nurtures life and the environment and eventually makes its way back into water where the cycle is repeated. water has an unusually low vapor pressure and does not rapidly evaporate because of its a) neutral ph. b) liquid form. c) hydrogen bonding. d) non-polar structure.

The dna in a cell’s nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well as proteins that are targeted for secretion from the cell. for example, consider these two proteins: phosphofructokinase (pfk) is an enzyme that functions in the cytoplasm during glycolysis. insulin, a protein that regulates blood sugar levels, is secreted from specialized pancreatic cells. assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete until the proteins reach their final destinations.for each protein, identify its targeting pathway: the sequence of cellular locations in which the protein is found from when translation is complete until it reaches its final (functional) destination. (note that if an organelle is listed in a pathway, the location implied is inside the organelle, not in the membrane that surrounds the organelle.)

8) animals respond in various ways to stimuli detected through their senses. some of these responses are stimulated by the presence of danger. which of these animal responses is the best example of a response to an immediate threat? a) a rooster crows every morning at the first sign of light. b) as something approaches an octopus, it shoots a cloud of ink. c) from late fall until spring, bears hibernate to preserve energy. d) a dog is getting hot in the sunlight, so he moves to a shaded area.

What's wrong with this ecological pyramid? (multiple choice)1. secondary consumers should be at the bottom of the pyramid2. the sun has an arrow leading to decomposers 3. primary consumers should come after the sun4. energy retained should increase from the bottom to the top5. the sun should be at the bottom of the pyramid
