The Exxon Valdez spilled more than 10 MILLION gallons of oil into the Prince William Sound, damaging marine life.

Ten million

On March 24, 1989, the oil truck Exxon Valdez reached Alaska's Prince William Sound, after leaving the Valdez Marine Terminal full of crude oil. At 12:04 am, the ship uncovered a reef, ripping open the hull and discharging nearly 10 million gallons of oil into the atmosphere. Initial acknowledgments by Exxon and the Alyeska Pipeline Company were inadequate to accommodate much of the spill, and a hurricane swept in soon after, spreading the oil extensively.

Eventually, more than 1,000 miles of coastline were polluted, and hundreds of thousands of species of plants and animals died damaging the marine life to the greatest extent.

Define the 3 main mechanisms in a “feedback loop”. (the names and what each does)
viktelen [127]

Explanation:

A feedback loop involves:

  1. a receptor
  2. control center
  3. an effector

The endocrine system involves chemical signalling via the secretion of molecules called hormones into extracellular fluid. They bind to chemical receptors in order to cause specific changes in target cells, these lead to changes in the body's internal environment called homeostasis. It includes the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, pineal and adrenal glands along with other regions. The bone, adipose tissue, heart, pancreas and liver are a few of the regions of the body which show endocrine function. The brain, or control center functions to receive and process the information from the receptor. Effectors receive the control center's command and illicits a response in the form of a feedback loop, that may oppose or enhance the stimulus.

Further Explanation:

During homeostasis the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc. Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis. Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. For instance, the regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.

each of the following cells.

Elodea Cell Cell wall _B____ Chloroplast _A___ Area of vacuole _C__ Onion Cell Cell wall _B__ Nucleus __A_ Mitochondria _C__ Cheek Epithelial Cell Cell membrane _B__ Nucleus __A_ BacteriA Bacterial Cells. View the bacterial cells on the PowerPoint and identify which cell (A, B, or C) is: Coccus ________B____ Bacillus ______A______ Spirillum ______C______ Protista Amoeba can move via the extension of finger-like projections called pseudopodia

Explanation:

Amoeba can move via the extension of finger-like projections called pseudopodia, what prevents plant cells from moving in the same fashion?

Ans: The plants that prevent the information of pseudopodia have rigid cell walls. which is unlike to amoeba.  

How does the euglena compare to both plant and animal cells (i.e. - explain what structure(s) might make it similar to plants and what structures might make it similar to animals).

Ans: Euglena are similar to plants because they both have chloroplast and are similar to animals because  neither has a cell wall.
