2. Which describes a substance with a high index of refraction?

Biology

The statement that it causes light to slow down significantly best describes the high index of refraction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Index of refraction is the amount a medium will be refracting the incident light. As it is a measure of amount of light getting refracted, the medium decides the index of refraction of that type.

If the index of refraction of any medium is high, then it will refract most of the incident light and so the light' speed travelling through the medium will get slower.

So increase in refractive index decrease the light' speed. Thus, if the light' speed decreases or slows down significantly then the substance has high index of refraction.

Answer:

B. At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell?

Explanation:

Organelles are specific in their functioning and hence, each organelle contributes its own quota to the cell's proper functioning. According to the question, a muscle tissue is being worked on to determine the effect of a missing or damaged organelle on its cell.

Mitochondria are organelles found in all eukaryotic living cells. They are the organelles responsible for the synthesis of ATP (energy) used by the cell as a result of the glucose that gets converted in them during cellular respiration.

Therefore, to determine if the muscle cells are functioning properly, the question that: At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell? should be asked.

Note that, Chloroplast and cell wall are not found in muscle cells, which is an animal cell. Likewise, ribosomes are not organelles for synthesis of glucose.
