Al has a pet cat. One day he observes that it is scratching and urinating on tree trunks in his yard. What behavior is Al's cat displaying?protection
predation
territoriality

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The behavior Al's cat is displaying is TERRITORIALITY.

The cat is marking his territory so that whatever animal comes in Al's yard, they will know that a cat lives there because they can smell his urine and identify his scratches.

Animals who arrives in the cat's territory will be aware of possible danger that the cat may inflict on them for tresspassing his territory. Urine and tree scratches are used as deterrent for other animals from venturing farther in the yard.
Answer 2
Answer: The cat is displaying territoriality

Networks of blood vessels in bats' wings serve only to disperse heat generated in flight. This heat is generated only because bats flap their wings. Thus paleontologists' recent discovery that the winged dinosaur Sandactylus had similar networks of blood vessels in the skin of its wings provides evidence for the hypothesis that Sandactylus flew by flapping its wings, not just by gliding.The argument in the passage relies on which of the following assumptions?

(A) Sandactylus would not have had networks of blood vessels in the skin of its wings if these networks were of no use to Sandactylus.
(B) All creatures that fly by flapping their wings have networks of blood vessels in the skin of their wings.
(C) Winged dinosaurs that flapped their wings in flight would have been able to fly more effectively than winged dinosaurs that could only glide.
(D) If Sandactylus flew by flapping its wings, then paleontologists would certainly be able to find some evidence that it did so.
(E) Heat generated by Sandactylus in flapping its wings in flight could not have been dispersed by anything other than the blood vessels in its wings.

Answers

Answer:

(A) Sandactylus would not have had networks of blood vessels in the skin of its wings if these networks were of no use to Sandactylus.

Explanation:

The given passage compares presence of similar structures, the blood vessels, in the wings of bats and winged dinosaur Sandactylus to explain the unknown function of wings in the dinosaur species. Bats are flying mammals and use wings to fly. The blood vessels in their wings serve to spread out the heat that is produced by flapping of wings during flying.

The presence of blood vessels in wings of dinosaur Sandactylus suggests that they also used wings for flying. If Sandactylus species did not use the wings for flying, their wings should not have blood vessels as gliding movement does not require it.

11. Each of the dialysis tubes was labeled "10%". What does that mean?12. Some tubes increased on mass, some had very little mass change, and others decreased. Using
knowledge of osmosis to explain this phenomenon. Be sure the explanation includes the words
hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic.

Answers

Answer: 11. 10% is the concentration of solutes, 12. Osmosis is the net movement of solvent through a membrane according to the concentration of the solution.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a phenomenon that explains the movement of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane without expenditure of energy, where the movement is through simple diffusion.

The tonicity is the total concentration of all solutes in the solution. Then, when a solution has a few particles, it has a low osmolarity, while a solution with many particles has a hight osmolarity. But, when there are two solutions separated by a permeable membrane to water (and not to the solutes or particles) the solvent (water) will move from the lower osmolarity side to the higher osmolarity side (which means, water moves from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration)

To compare osmolarity of solutions, we use the terms hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. This is done, for example, to compar the osmolarity of a cell with the osmolarity of the extracellular fluid around it.  If the extracellular fluid has a lower concentration than the fluid inside the cell, it is hypotonic with respect to the cell. In this case, the solvent will go into the cell.  If the extracellular fluid has a higher concentration than the fluid inside the cell, it is hypertonic and the solvent will leave the cell from the region of lower solute concentration to the region with more solutes. At last, an isotonic solution is when the extracellular fluid and the cell has the same osmolarity and there will be no net movement of water in or out of the cell.

Increasing on mass would mean that there has been a net movement of water into the bag, because the solution was hypotonic. A decreased on mass mean that there has been a net movement of water out of the bad, because the solution was hypertonic. And if there has been no change or a very little mass change, it means the solution was isotonic, the same osmolarity or concentration of solutes was found inside and outside the cell.

Taking into account the concepts of tonicity and osmolarity, we can explain the process of dialysis which is the process of separating molecules across a semi-permeable membrane in a solution by the difference in their osmotic pressure. It is a laboratory technique where a solution that has many types of different solutes, is put into a semi-permeable sealed dialysis bag, (such as a porous cellulose membrane). Then it is placed in a container with a different solution, or pure water (which has a lower osmolarity). Molecules such as DNA or proteins are larger than the diameter of the pore thereby they are retained within the dialysis bag. However, molecules that are small enough to pass through the pores, such as water, tend to move in or out of the dialysis bag in the direction of the lowest concentration. It is usually used to remove salt from a protein solution.  Then, if a dyalisis tube is labeled as 10%, it means its solute concentration is 10% of to the total volume of the dialysis bag.

The potential must be strong enough to send a(n) potential to the CNS.

Answers

It is true that the potential must be strong enough to send a potential to the CNS. The stronger the potential, the more it will excite the transmitter in relaying the message to another neuron, therefore, if this happens, the more will it be easier to pass the message.
