I found the whole exercise on the internet. These are the options:
"a. Blood glucose levels are maintained within an adequate range.
b. Fat reserves are built.
c. Glycogen is formed.
d. Glucose is broken down in the liver."

Correct answer: "a. Blood glucose levels are maintained within an adequate range."
Blood glucose levels are maintained by the breaking down firstly of glycogen in the liver, and then when this is gone, glycogen from the skeletal muscles is used and broken down into glucose. Never in this period, glycogen is being formed but it is rather the opposite. After all the glucose storage is consumed, fat is then also used to keep the levels of glucose stable and is never built.

Answer:

A. Lancelet

B. All chordates

Explanation:

A. Dorsal nerve chord is the only unique feature among all members of phylum chordata (mainly found in subphylum Vertebrata). In the given list, only lacelet is the Chordate whereas snail belongs to phylum Mollusca, grasshopper belongs to Arthropda, and jellyfish belongs to Cnidaria. Dorsal nerve cord runs along the length of organism's body.

B. Gill slits are opening structures to gills through which water passes from pharynx/throat to exterior. Their main purpose is to help filter the food particles available in surrounding water. Although they are typical for amphibians and fishes, chordates also possess gill slits at embryonic stages.

Define the following words:

Svet_ta [14]

Answer: cellular membrane: The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

Explanation:

passive transport Passive transport is a type of membrane transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes. Instead of using cellular energy, like active transport, passive transport relies on the second law of thermodynamics to drive the movement of substances across cell membranes.

If a hemoglobin molecule comes into close contact with a respiring cell, the presence of CO2 in the environment will cause hemog

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

No, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 binds to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release.

Explanation:

The O2 molecule is reversibly combined with the heme portion of the hemoglobin. When the partial pressure of O2 is high, as in the case of pulmonary capillaries, for example, the binding of O2 to hemoglobin and the release of carbon dioxide are favored, this is known as the Haldane effect. If, on the contrary, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 is bound to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release, this is known as the effect Bohr.
