Communication

Which of the following is a response to an external stimulus?

Migration

Which of the following is true of active transport?

Which type of cells thrive in an isotonic solution?

Animal cells

Some molecules require the cell to use energy for movement across the membrane. This is called _______.

active transport

Match the stimulus to an animal's corresponding response. thirst indicates a loss of fluid

1

Which of the following statements is true of a hypertonic solution?

A solution is hypertonic when the concentration of dissolved particles is higher outside of the cell than it is inside of the cell. This means the water concentration is higher inside the cell.

Which of the following terms refers to the movement of materials through a cell membrane by using the cell's energy?

Active transport

Which of the following is not true of lactation?

After childbirth, a woman automatically begins to lactate.

Which of the following is not a method of thermoregulation?

Deep breathing

Identify the similarities between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion.

Both are processes of molecules moving through the cell membrane Neither requires the cell to use any energy Materials move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration

The random movement of molecules is referred to as _______.

Brownian Movement

A jackrabbit is a warm-blooded animal that lives in the desert. In the desert the temperature is over 110 degrees during the day. How can the jackrabbit maintain thermoregulation?

By releasing excess heat through its oversized ears

Why are control systems found in the body?

Control systems work to maintain homeostasis by collecting data via sensors, transmitting the data to control centers, and sending communications to targets within the body to cause a response.

Which of the following are examples of passive transport?

Diffusion Osmosis Facilitated diffusion

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for getting your body back to its normal state after a perceived threat has passed. Which of the following is not a response of the parasympathetic nervous system?

Dilation of pupils

_____ is the process used by an amoeba to excrete waste.

Exocytosis

Match the stimulus to an animal's corresponding response. Pain lets an animal know it is injured or about to be injured

Finds somewhere to hide until healed

Match each organelle to its corresponding description. packages and ships material

Golgi complex

Which of the following is not regulated by homeostasis?

Height

A cell with 25% particles is placed in a solution with 55% particles. The solution has what type of tonicity?

Hypertonic

Submersion in which type of solution is best for plants, because it causes high turgor pressure?

Which of the following scenarios can be classified as a negative feedback loop?

Increase in blood pressure to reduce heart rate

In a positive feedback loop, the response to the signal _____ the original signal.

Which of the following statements describes the structure of the plasma membrane?

It is a lipid bilayer with the hydrophobic area pointing inward, and the hydrophilic area facing outward.

What is the response of an ectotherm, such as a lizard, when it encounters cold temperatures?

Kidneys

Which of the following is not an example of a negative feedback loop?

Labor in childbirth

_____ move around the cytoplasm, and digest substances that do not belong, or are no longer needed.

Lysosomes

How are membrane receptors different from intracellular receptors?

Membrane receptors are located on the outside of the cell, while intracellular receptors are found on the inside.

During labor in childbirth, what is the next step of the positive feedback loop below? 1. Contractions push the fetus against the cervix. 2. The cervix begins to dilate. 3. Dilating triggers the production of the hormone oxytocin. 4. _____

More frequent, stronger contractions begin

Nervous

Which of the following is not an example of active transport?

Osmosis

Facilitated diffusion is an example of _____ transport.

Passive

_______ is the movement of molecules across a membrane without the cell expending any of its own energy.

Passive transport

Match the stimulus to an animal's corresponding response. When an animal sees a potential mate

Performs a courtship dance or song

_____ occurs when the cell membrane surrounds and engulfs large particles, such as white blood cells engulfing bacteria.

Phagocytosis

You sustain a paper cut. Platelets arrive at the site and release chemicals that attract more platelets. Platelets continue to arrive until a clot has formed. What type of feedback is this?

Positive

How do positive and negative feedback loops differ?

Positive feedback loops increase the initial signal, while negative feedback loops decrease the original signal.

Match the stimulus to an animal's corresponding response. When an animal sees a predator
