Answer:
E. Interleukin-1
Explanation:
Interleukin-1 is produced by macrophages and is involved in promoting the proliferation of helper T cells. Interleukin-1 also acts on the hypothalamus to cause fever. Fever refers to abnormally high body temperature. During infection and inflammation, the hypothalamic thermostat is reset in response to interleukin-1 resulting in fever. The presence of certain bacterial toxins in the body triggers the release of interleukin-1 from macrophages and the body temperature is elevated. Fever inhibits the growth of some microbes, intensifies the effects of interferons, and stimulates the body's immune reactions.
A nucleotide consists of three things: A nitrogenous base, which can be either adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine (in the case of RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil). A five-carbon sugar, called deoxyribose because it is lacking an oxygen group on one of its carbons. One or more phosphate groups.
Answer:
Explanation:
Alkali metals (rarely 'Hydrogen and the alkali metals')
Alkaline earth metals (in old chemistry this name applied only to Ca and its congeners)
Icosagens (unofficial name; aka Boron group; rarely Earth metals)
Crystallogens (unofficial name; aka Carbon group; rarely Adamantogens[a] or Merylides[b])
Pnictogens
Chalcogens
Halogens
Noble gases (rarely Aerogens). The Group name may have to be changed to the “Helium group” since oganesson is not expected to be noble.
Answer:
a. Biomagnification
Explanation:
Biomagnification is the name given to the progressive accumulation of substances from one trophic level to another along a food chain. Thus, the substance will have its highest concentration in individuals who occupy trophic levels furthest from producers.
For biomagnification to occur, substances must be fat soluble (lipid soluble) and thus adhere to living tissues. Another feature of substances that undergo biomagnification is that they are generally not biodegradable or metabolized by the body.
The phenomenon is quite common with heavy metals (lead; mercury) and certain chlorinated and aromatic organic compounds with higher molecular mass, such as the insecticide DDT.
Answer:
C) II and III only
Explanation:
Option 1 is not an example of phenotypic plasticity because each person is born with their own blood type and this doesn't change based on their environment and behavior.
Option 2 is an example of phenotypic plasticity because a person's red blood cell counts can increase based on their environment, i.e. moving to Denver, CO from Death Valley, CA. The higher elevation and decreased oxygen causes your body to produce more red blood cells.
Option 3 is an example of phenotypic plasticity because one twin can be taller than another because of differing behaviors, environments, etc.
