Basics of diffusion, gradients, and how they relate - Answer-Diffusion: spontaneous movement of very small things. It requires no energy investment by the organism (other than keeping the temperature above freezing) --direction is random Gradients: top of gradient = high concentration, bottom of gradient = low concentration --diffuses high to low Basics of diffusion across a semipermeable barrier - AnswerFactors that speed up or slow down diffusion - Answer-size: smaller things diffuse fas...

Know the functions of the mammalian respiratory system - to supply oxygen to the cells which they need to perform cellular respiration and to rid the body of CO2 Recall the reason for 'death-zone' - people who are at a certain elevation and above for more than 48 hours get insufficient oxygen Describe the hypothesized reasons for the decline in O2 during the late Permian - Land masses form super-continent which led to a dryer climate and a reduction in photosynthesis which led to the red...

The biochemical relationship between color and behavior in domestic animals is found in the metabolic conversion of DOPA to Dopamine and melanin. A. True B. False - correct answer True The capybara is an example of a potential microlivestock domesticated animal that could replace cattle ranching in the flood plains of South America. A. True B. False - correct answer False Bos taurus and Bos indicus animals were believed to have been domesticated from the auroch (Bos primigenius) about ...

PHGY170 Study Notes for Final Exam MAMMALIAN CELL PHYSIOLOGY Module One: The Cell Cell Theory 1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of structure/organization in organisms. 3. All cells come from pre-existing cells. Cell Types Two basic cell types: prokaryotic cells, and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus, they are smaller, always unicellular, divide by binary fission, are always asexual. EG. Bacteria. Euka...

II. “LOSS OF ESTRUS” Definitions, Concepts, and Data Estrus has been defined as ‘&. . , a relatively brief period of proceptivity, receptivity. and attractivity in female mammals which usually, but not invariably, coincides with their brief period of fertility” (Symons 1979; p. 97). As this definition suggests, estrus refers primarily to a set of behaviors that is indicative of the female’s readiness to mate and that may or may not coincide with the time of ovulation. This ...
