Bees can see colors we cannot see, and they can detect minute amounts of chemicals we cannot sense. Unlike many insects, bees cannot hear very well. A biologist would probably give which of the following as the ultimate explanation for their poor hearing?a.) If a bee could hear, its highly programmed brain would be overwhelmed with information.b.) If bees could hear, the noise of the hive would be overstimulating.c.) This is an example of altruism.d.) Bees are too small to have functional ears.e.) Hearing may not contribute much to a bee's reproductive success.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: The answer would likely be E.

Explanation:

The biologist would likely explain this concept from the viewpoint of evolution. As hearing does not contribute to the bee's reproductive success, enhanced hearing traits in bees were not selected for and hence bees' hearing ability was not an adaptation that enhanced its reproductive success and bees cannot hear very well.

Scientists predict that we will eventually use up all available fossil fuels. Which list includes only fossil fuels? a. wood, natural gas, and coal
b .natural gas, coal, and oil
c .wood, natural gas, and solar
d. coal, oil, and solar

Answers

Answer:

B: natural gas, coal, and oil  

Explanation:

All fossil fuels are carbonated substances formed from organic matter  comming from plants, microorganisms, and algae. This organic matter have been accumulating for millions of years in the bottom of seas or lakes and buried, fossilizeing. This fossilized matter is what gives origen to fossil fuels.  They have an important, although not quietly considered, characteristic: They are non-renewable resources.  

Coal is a fossil fuel that highly contributes to climatic change, polluting not only air but also water and the soil. By burning it, its gases contribute to increase the greenhouse effect and consequently producing global heat. This is affecting all forms of life that depend on these resources, including human beings. During the coal combustion process, several particles are released to air, polluting and being the cause of smog and acid rain. In spite of its reduced use in the last years, coal is still the principal fuel used by thermal, refineries, chemical, and still work industries.  

Oil is also a huge contaminator and it generates a dangerous waste that is very harmful to the environment. Its elimination by incineration or split provokes huge pollution problems in the air, water, and ground. In water, it produces an impermeable film that impedes gas exchange and causes suffocation in the living forms that inhabit there.  But if the oil is burned it generates nocive gases that are very toxic because of their content in plumb, chloride, phosphorus, sulfur, among others.

Natural gas is a hydrocarbure composed mostly of methane and other light hydrocarbures. As it is ussually found in deep underground depossits, the origen of natural gas is associated with petrolium, and hence they share many similar energetic properties.

A student is given a small amount of unknown tan-colored liquid substance. This unknown liquid is placed into a glass of water and mixed. Despite mixing, the tan liquid remains separated from the water and collects as a large droplet at the top. Which of the macromolecule groups is this liquid MOST likely to be a member of?

Answers

This liquid substance most probably be a member of the group of lipids. Liquids which do not dissolve in water are called hydrophobic substances. Nonpolar substances exhibit this effect. Lipids are a class of large molecules or macromolecules which are hydrophobic. Lipids include cholesterol, fat, and phospholipids.

Lipids

When proteins help transport molecules in and out of the cell, it is called _____.passive diffusion
facilitated diffusion
active transport
endocytosis and exocytosis

Answers

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-

facilitated diffusion and

active transport.

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport (transport of solute from high area of concentration to lower area of concentration) that requires transport protein ( which work as transporters or channels for the transport of solute).

Active transport also requires transport proteins/ carrier proteins (which work as pump) to drive the transport of solutes against the concentration gradient. This process utilizes energy (obtained from hydrolysis of ATP) for the transport because solute move from high concentration to an area where their concentration is less.

  When proteins help transport molecules in and out of the cell it is called active transport. Hope this helped  :)
