- Explain the process that is depicted by the diagram below. (What is the overall purpose of the process?What kind of organism uses this process? What is the overall significance of this process to life? *please answer the question being asked. answer should be short and concisearrow_forwardSelect the statement that is NOT correct O Most plasma lipoproteins are synthesised in the liver O The enzymatic complement of liver tissue changes in response to changes in the diet The liver synthesises most of the urea produced in the body The presence of glucose-6-phosphatase makes the liver uniquely able to release glucose into the bloodstream O Under certain conditions, other organs can perform most of the functions of the liverarrow_forwardAfter a meal that contains carbohydrates, blood glucose levels usually rise gradually as carbohydrates are digested and the resulting monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream. Suppose you run a test on a human with no lactase production. You would provide a dose (e.g., 25 grams) of lactose and measure changes in blood glucose levels over the next three hours. Predict how blood glucose levels would change from fasting to three hours. Justify your response using the results from the above simulation.arrow_forward
- Bats mostly hunt insects at night. They are able to determine the distance and speed of any prey they are chasing, which has helped them to become excellent nocturnal predators. One potential prey, the tiger moth, has developed two separate methods of evading predation. First, tiger moths emit a toxin that is distasteful to bats, birds, and most other vertebrate predators. Second, they use an organ called a "tymbal" to create a series of high-pitched clicks that only bats can hear, and which identify the tiger moths as something the bats don't like to eat. Bats who prey on tiger moths discover they don't taste very good, learn to identify tiger moths by their clicks, and avoid eating them. Use this information to answer the questions below. Question 1: The scenario above describes a distinct evolutionary interaction. What is it?Can you explain? Question 2: Why is it necessary for the moth to produce both a tymbal click and a toxin? Why not just a toxin?
