Answer:

b. a single temporal fenestra

Explanation:

Synapsids have a temporary fossa in the lower part of the temporal bone. These reptiles mamiferoides only have a single inferior temporal fenestra.

The synapsids were the first amniots to diversify and appeared  in the middle of the Carboniferous. These first synapses were characterized by the presence of a single temporary fenestra behind each orbit, through which the mandibular muscles pass.

Which mineral would be found in greatest concentration in the plasma of the marathon runners?
andre [41]
The right answer is E. Sodium  (with 140mmol/L)

Sodium is the most important element in the blood and extracellular liquids of the body.The needs of an adult subject are of the order of 1 to 2 g of sodium per day. The normal diet is much richer than our actual needs, about 4g, so it can largely compensate for the needs of an athlete or a runner.
Losses are majoritarly by feces and sweat. The kidney is able to reabsorb almost all the sodium that is filtered: urinary losses can be tiny.

which of the following shows the levels of organization in a multicell organsim from the smallest level to the largest?
zzz [600]

1. Organelles-. e.g. mitochondria, nucleus.

2. Cells- e.g. epithelial cells, palisade cells. 

3. Tissues- e.g. muscles, connective tissue.

4. Organs- e.g. heart, liver.

5. Organ systems- e.g. digestive system, circulatory system

This is because there are many organelles inside a cell and  a collection of same cells that creates tissues, a collection of tissues form organs, to carry out a particular function, and a collection of organs working together is an organ system. I think this is what they're after as I had a similar question a little while ago.
