Question 1. The right option is A- response.

The characteristic of life that this behavior best illustrate is response.
A response is any reaction or behavior of a living organism to an external or internal stimulus. From the question given, the desert tortoise is having a response to the environmental factors.

Question 2. The right option is D-Desert pack rats are active at night to conserve water.

The statement; Desert pack rats are active at night to conserve water best illustrates how an organism maintains homeostasis.
Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to adjust to their internal environment inorder to maintain a stable or balanced equilibrium.

During which process is ethanol produced?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Alcohol fermentation

Explanation:

When oxygen availability is low, the cell can't perform aerobic respiration to breakdown glucose. Instead, anaerobic respiration must be performed. This occurs in cells which consume large amounts of energy, such as muscle cells. Anaerobic respiration produces much less energy than aerobic respiration

One type of anaerobic respiration formed by yeast is called alcohol fermentation (also called ethanol fermentation). This begins with glycolysis, where one molecule of glucose is broke down into 2 molecules of pyruvate. The energy from this reaction generates 2 molecules of ATP, and converts NAD+ to NADH.

Then, the two molecules of pyruvate are further broke down into 2 acetaldehydes (releasing two molecules of carbon dioxide as a by-product). These two molecules of acetaldehyde are then converted into tw molecules of ethanol, using the H ions from NADH, converting it back to NAD+. See the attached picture

This process is taken advantage of to brew beer and wine.

Which of the following might explain the lack of cloud formation? Choose one or more:
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The following might explain the lack of cloud formation

  • The air package never reaches its dew point.
  • There are too few aerosols present in the air package.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For the formation of the cloud the air in the higher position should have much colder than that of the surface. The vapours travels till it reaches the point where it has lower temperature as well as the pressure so that the water will condense into the droplets which will result in the formation of the cloud. When those vapours condenses to the liquid or to the solid it will release some of it energy to the air. For the formation of the cloud three things are mandatory and they are moisture, cooling air and the condensation nuclei. Also, for the formation of clouds, suspended particles like aerosols are required for the water to condense. As there are few aerosols, water doesn't get to condense.
