Answer:

The rat will most likely take more of the licorice flavored water

Explanation:

The rat will take more keen on taking more of the licorice flavored water than green water because it has associated the taste of the green water with painful pinch it received on the tail, causing it to refrain the next time it has a choice.

In behavioral psychology, animals are known to tie their actions to either pleasurable or painful feelings. Naturally, the behavior of every animal is conditioned in such a way that it seeks pleasure and avoids pain.

Once the rat begins to associate the taste or sight of the green water with pain, it abstains.

Some homeostatic imbalances cause a variable that is normally controlled by negative feedback to be abnormally controlled by pos
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Some deviations from normal homeostasis activate the positive feedback loops to control the conditions which are otherwise regulated by negative feedback mechanisms.

For example, the blood levels of respiratory gases and H+ ions are regulated by a negative feedback system via chemoreceptors. The increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas and lowered pH or lowered partial pressure of oxygen in the blood are sense by central and peripheral chemoreceptors which in turn activate the neurons of the dorsal respiratory group (DRG).

The activated DRG triggers an increased in the rate and depth of the breathing to facilitate the inhalation of more oxygen and exhalation of CO2 to restore the normal levels.  

However, hypocapnia inactivates the chemoreceptors and does not allow negative feedback to restore the normal CO2 levels in the blood.  

Under such conditions, the positive feedback loop stimulates the DRG neurons more strongly in response to the increased partial pressure of CO2 above the normal levels than when the partial pressure of oxygen falls below the normal level. These dangerously lowered oxygen levels may also cause fainting.

Answer:

C) protein possesses a signal for localization within the Golgi apparatus.

Explanation:

Protein targeting or sorting is a process by which synthesized proteins are transported to their appropriate localizations in the cell or outside it. Proteins can be targeted to the inner space of an organelle (such as Golgi apparatus or endoplasmic reticulum) or its membrane, plasma membrane, or to exterior of the cell via secretion.  

Usually, protein contains signal sequence on the N terminus that is involved in destination targeting.
