Along with sweating, which other responses by skin assists with thermoregulation?

Well, lets go over each one and think of how our body uses each part.

A. If we're cold, there's no reason for it to dilate. When we dilate our vessels, we're going to have more blood flow to that area. We don't want more blood flow to that area why? Because we'll begin to lose heat that way. We will actually vasoCONSTRICT instead to shunt the blood away from the surface to preserve our internal body heat. Therefore, this is NOT an option.

C. Secretion of sebum on the skin is not used to protect against the sun. Our sebum is actually used to keep out bacteria and microorganisms. This is NOT an option.

D. Depending on the wording this one **could** be correct but because it says that it's adding their sweat, that's false. The eccrine and the apocrine glands are two sweat glands, though.

E. Blood vessels near the surface of the skin can dilate, increasing blood flow and heat loss. This is TRUE! In order for us to get rid of some of our heat, the vessels will dilate and causes the blood to enter to the surface of the skin allow the heat to rise up and out and we can get rid of the excess heat.

So, now we've broken them all down, you can see that the only response that is correct is E.

True or false:<br><br> Fish are considered carbon-based organism
vekshin1

Answer:

Its how you see it.

Explanation:

1.Life on Earth is based on carbon, likely because each carbon atom can form bonds with up to four other atoms simultaneously. This quality makes carbon well-suited to form the long chains of molecules that serve as the basis for life as we know it, such as proteins and DNA.

2.All life on earth <em><u>can be thought</u></em> of as "carbon-based." Just be careful about turning this around backwards. It is true that all living things contain carbon compounds... but the opposite is not true. Just because a certain material is referred to as organic does not mean it is or ever was alive.

A group of six students has taken samples of their own cheek cells, purified the DNA, and used a restriction enzyme known to cut
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

D. The two students who have two fragments have one restriction site in this region.

Explanation:

The DNA samples from the cheek cells were subjected to digestion with a restriction enzyme. This enzyme is an endonuclease and cuts the DNA at a specific sequence only. This sequence is called a restriction site. If the restriction site is not present in the sample DNA, the restriction enzyme cannot cut it. The presence of one restriction site in the sample DNA would cut it into two DNA fragments.

Similarly, the presence of two restriction sites in each DNA molecule would obtain a total of three DNA fragments per DNA molecule.
