Which of the following statements regarding selenium/selenoproteins is incorrect?
a. They are proven protection against colon cancer.
b. The amount of selenium in foods depends upon the soil where the plants were grown and animals grazed.
c. Selenium functions as an antioxidant.
d. Selenium plays an important role in the regulation of thyroid hormones.
Answer:
The correct answer is: A. They are proven protection against colon cancer.
Explanation:
Selenium is a mineral that can be incorporated into our bodies in small amounts when we consume certain foods, such as whole grain and dairy products. The amount of selenium in these products depends on the soil where the plants and animals were.
Selenium plays an important role as an antioxidant, which can lower the risk of developing several types of cancer. However, this doesn't mean that its consumption can prevent colon cancer, and the studies that had been done to prove its effectivity in these regards have been inconclusive.
Besides functioning as an antioxidant, selenium also is very important for the regulation of the thyroid hormones, which play an important part in metabolism.
The protein that contains selenocysteine amino acid remnants is called selenoproteins. They are found in the endoplasmic reticulum of the cells.
The incorrect statement is:
Option a. They are proven protection against colon cancer.
The statement can be explained as:
Selenium is a mineral that gets incorporated into our body through foods, dairy and whole grains. The amount of selenium depends on its amount and presence in the soil.Selenoproteins are good antioxidants that can lower the risks of cancers. But its consumption does not provide complete protection against cancers.It also regulates the thyroid hormone and plays a vital role in the regulation of metabolism.Thus, they have not proven medication for colon cancer.

explain the process (reflex action) that happens when you pull your arm away from an open flame. use steps to explain your answer. identify the receptor in the skin, the stimulus, the neurons,the effector(muscle) and the body's response to the stimulus.
Answer:
A reflex action is defined as an involuntary action of body in response to a stimulus, which protects the body from any harmful conditions including touching open flame.
A reflex action follows a sequence of action that helps in involuntary action, tha include the stimulus, receptor in the skin, the neurons (sensory, relay and motor neurons), the effector(muscle) and resposne of body to stimulus.
In the reflex action when a person pull his/her arm away from an open flame, the stimulus will be the hot flame that send a signal to the nervous system.
The sensory receptor found in the dermis or epidermis of skin called cutaneous receptors, senses the temperature change.
Then the sensory neuron comes in action which sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron (located in spinal cord) and relay neuron sends impulse to motor neuron.
Motor neuron sends that electrical impulses to a muscle which act as an effector which allows muscle to contracts to move hand away.
So, at the end the body resposnes to move hand aways from the open flame.

Explanation:
Endocytosis is a type of active transport, where particles such as (large molecules, parts of cells, and even whole cells) are moved into cells.
The various types of endocytosis has a common feature of:
1. invagination of plasma membrane forming pockets around the target particle.
2. the pocket pinches off from original plasma membrane
3. forming a new intracellular vesicle containing the target particle.
The different types of endocytosis includes
a. pinocytosis (cell drinking): takes in extracellular fluids
b. phagocytosis (cell eating): large solid particles are taken in by cells
c. receptor-mediated endocytosis: here, receptor proteins on the cells surface, binds to complementary proteins on the surface of the target particles before endocytosis occurs.

4. Is predation a density-dependent or density-independent factor?
Answer:
The correct answer is density-dependent factor.
Explanation:
The factors whose influences on the growth or size of the population changes with the density of the population are known as the density-dependent factors. The availability of food, disease, predation, and migration are some types of density-dependent limiting factors.
One of the density-dependent factors in nature is predation, predation confines various populations. The population of the prey and the predator encircle towards each other, with the population of the predator somewhat lagging behind the population of the prey.
With the increase in the population of the prey, the predator gets more to eat, and thus the population of the predator increases. With the increase in the predator population, pressure imparts on the prey population and it starts to decline. The decline in the availability of the food eventually makes the population of the predator to decline. Therefore, it can be seen that both the population of the prey and the predator are affected by predation, that is, a density-dependent factor.

Which feature contains genetic material and is present in a eukaryotic cell but not in a prokaryotic cell?
Which two features are present in a plant cell but not in an animal cell? ************someone HELP PLEASE***********
Answer:
A DNA is contained in the NUCLEUS of a eukaryotic cell not a prokaryotic cell. Your awnser is " nucleus"
Explanation:
The feature that contains genetic material and is present in a eukaryotic cell but not in a prokaryotic cell is the nucleus. The two features that are present in a plant cell but not in an animal cell are the cell wall and chloroplasts.
1. Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound organelle called the nucleus that contains the DNA of the cell. It is in charge of conserving and safeguarding the genetic material, including the chromosomes that contain the genes that govern the properties and operations of the cell.
On the other hand, prokaryotic cells are devoid of a genuine nucleus. The cytoplasm of these cells contains their genetic material, which is normally one circular DNA molecule.
2. Cell Wall: The cell membrane of plant cells is enclosed by a strong cell wall. The plant cell is protected and supported structurally by the cell wall. Together with other polysaccharides, proteins, and cellulose, a complex carbohydrate, it essentially consists of these elements. Animal cells lack a cell wall and are supported instead by extracellular matrix and other structural elements.
Chloroplasts: The chloroplasts found in plant cells are in charge of photosynthesis. Specialized organelles called chloroplasts house the pigment chlorophyll as well as other pigments that are used to absorb light energy.
They do this by converting light energy into chemical energy, releasing oxygen as a byproduct and creating glucose. As animal cells lack chloroplasts, they are unable to perform photosynthesis.

Explanation:
Replanting trees in helping to "re-forest" the hill and restore it to how it was before.
Replanting trees in a place where trees used to exist is an example of reafforestation and restoration.
Afforestation means to create a forest (trees) where they do not exist before.Reafforestation, on the other hand, means to create a forest (by planting trees) to an area that used to be a forest but has been removed due to one reason or another. Similarly, restoration means restoring an area to what it used to be. Forest restoration is the practice of restoring a forest that has been modified by natural or anthropogenic processes to its old self.Thus, replanting trees on a bare hillside is an example of reafforestation and restoration.

Reptiles are a class of vertebrates made up mostly of snakes, turtles, lizards, and crocodilians. The options (A), (B) and (E) are correct.
What are the characteristics of reptiles?Reptiles, as most commonly defined are the animals in the class Reptilia, a paraphyletic grouping comprising all sauropsids except birds. Living reptiles comprise turtles, crocodilians, squamates and rhynchocephalians.
Moreover, the major groups of living reptiles—the turtles (order Testudines), tuatara (order Rhynchocephalia [Sphenodontida]), lizards and snakes (order Squamata), and crocodiles (order Crocodylia, or Crocodilia)—account for over 8,700 species.
Therefore, the name "reptile" comes from Latin and means "one who creeps". All living reptile species are cold blooded, have scaly skin, and lay cleidoic eggs. They excrete uric acid (instead of urea), and have a cloaca. A cloaca is a shared opening for the anus, urinary tract and reproductive ducts.

Within a population of butterflies, the color brown (B) is dominant over the color white (b) and 32% of all butterflies are white. Given this simple information, which is something that is very likely to be on an exam (teehee), calculate the following:
1. The percentage of butterflies in the population that are homozygous dominant
2. The number of heterozygous butterflies if the population contained 4,216 individuals
Answer:
48% Heterozygous of the population, 12% Homozygous dominant size.
Explanation:
Given the characteristics of its population,
Brown (B) predominates over white (b) color.
Recessive phenotype frequency (Q)= 40%= 0.4
According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the frequency is given by P and Q for a population with the dominant and recessive trait, where P+Q=1 preserves the equilibrium of the population allele.
So then, P = 1-Q
P=1-0.4=0.6
Heterozygotic butterflies = 2PQ
So, 2PQ= 2x0.6x0.4=0.48
That is, 48 percent of people are heterozygous
Homozygous dominant individual frequency = 1-(40 + 48) = 12 i.e. 12%
Answer:
C. 0.48

Anaerobic respiration happens in muscle cells and yeast cells.
The equation describes anaerobic respiration in muscle cells.
glucose ---> lactic acid
How can you tell from the equation that this process is anaerobic?
would the answer just be no co2 is produced?
Answer:
Am I think Co 2 will not be released but rather Glucose will be released
Explanation:
This is because
C6H12O6>2C5H5OH+2Co2 + Energy
there fore glucose is produced
From the equation "glucose → lactic acid," we can infer that the process is anaerobic. One way to determine this is by the absence of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the equation.
Glucose is entirely oxidized to create carbon dioxide, water, and energy during aerobic respiration, which takes place in the presence of oxygen.
Yet, in anaerobic respiration, the lack of oxygen causes an incomplete breakdown of glucose, producing additional byproducts such lactic acid as a result.
Muscle cells have the ability to transition to anaerobic respiration in order to satisfy their energy needs when there is insufficient oxygen.
Muscle cells have the ability to engage in anaerobic respiration, which produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the cellular energy currency, by partly metabolizing glucose, during hard exercise or when oxygen supply is constrained.
During anaerobic respiration, lactic acid builds up in muscle cells, which can lead to exhaustion and pain.

What explains why populations fluctuate around the carrying capacity?
Answer:
In population ecology: Population fluctuation As stated above, populations rarely grow smoothly up to the carrying capacity and then remain there. Instead, fluctuations in population numbers, abundance, or density from one time step to the next are the norm.
The carrying capacity of an environment is the maximum population size of a biological species that can be sustained in that specific environment, given the food, habitat, water, and other resources available. In population ecology, carrying capacity is defined as the environment's maximal load, which is different from the concept of population equilibrium, which may be far below an environment's carrying capacity. The effect of carrying capacity on population dynamics may be modelled with a logistic function.
The populations fluctuate around its carrying capacity because it is very common even for a stable population to briefly exceed or dip below its carrying capacity.
The size of the population fluctuate due to some environmental factors, presence of predators, competitors etc.
Also reproductive lag time can also cause the population to exceed the carrying capacity temporarily.
What is carrying capacity?The carrying capacity of an environment is the maximum population size of organisms that can be supported by the ecosystem, given the food, mates, shelters and other resources available.
What is reproductive lag time?Reproductive lag time is the time required for birth rate to decline and the death rate to increase in response to resource limits.
