A medical researcher measured the diastolic wall thicknesses of the arteries in a young, healthy test subject. The test subject

came back 20 years later to have the measurements repeated. The measurements revealed that the subject's artery walls were half as thick as they were originally. Which of the following is the most likely long-term effect if the measured trend continues?
a) Arteries and veins will fuse, causing oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to mix.

b) Arteries will be unable to withstand the pressure exerted by the heart, causing an aneurysm.

c) Blood volume will increase, causing the kidneys to work harder to maintain blood pressure.

d) Blood pressure will decrease, causing nausea, dizziness, loss of consciousness, and potential death.

How long ago did speciation occur between tarsier and the ancestor of all the anthropoids?
inysia [295]
A tarsier, although a primate, is not an anthropoid. Examples of anthropoids are humans, orangutans, and gibbons. The speciation that happened between the small primate and the anthropoids was 65 million years ago. It was during that time that the common ancestors of all primates were still alive.

А
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer: C. The red blood cells released water through osmosis. The release of water helped the blood cells keep a similar concentration of solutes as the outside solution.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a process whereby water molecules move from an area where they are in higher concentration than a solute to an area where they are in lower concentration. They do this by moving through a selectively-permeable membrane.

With sugar added to the solution, the water in the red blood cells will have a higher concentration of water in the cells than the solution so water molecules will move from the cell - through the cell membrane - to the solution. They will keep doing so till the concentration of solutes are more or less similar in both the cells and the solution.

Identify the longest, shortest, strongest, and weakest bonds from those highlighted below.
amm1812
Longest: D. Shortest: A. Strongest: A.  Weakest: D. 

Explanation: Answer choice A is the shortest and strongest. The greater number of bonds causes the electrons to be more compact and closer together. This makes the bond length short. Because the bond is tighter, it is also stronger.

Single bonds are the weakest and longest. So, now we must look at the difference between C and D. They're both C-C bonds, but the carbon bond in choice D is weaker because of the difference in p-character (hybridization).
