1. The first species to colonize an area during the process of ecological succession are
called _____ species.
colonizing
climax
pioneer
opportunistic
2. Describe how a Breathalyzer functions in measuring blood alcohol content.
A Breathalyzer uses infrared light to measure body temperature.
A Breathalyzer detects the presence of drugs in saliva.
A Breathalyzer measures the concentration of alcohol in a person's breath,
which correlates to blood alcohol content.
A Breathalyzer analyzes blood samples to determine alcohol levels.
3. Describe how active transport functions in the context of glucose reabsorption in
the kidney nephron.
Active transport moves glucose against its concentration gradient from the
proximal tubule back into the tissue fluid.
Active transport allows glucose to move freely along its concentration gradient
into the urine.
Active transport does not play a role in glucose reabsorption in the kidney
nephron.
, Active transport is the process by which glucose is filtered from the blood into
the Bowman's capsule.
4. If a person experiences vertigo due to a malfunction in the crista ampullaris, what
aspect of their balance would be primarily affected?
Proprioception
Static equilibrium Visual
balance
Dynamic equilibrium
5. What is the name of the structure that contains sensory receptors for dynamic
equilibrium?
Otoliths
Crista ampullaris
Saccule
Utricle
6. Describe the role of the crista ampullaris in maintaining balance within the inner ear.
The crista ampullaris contains sensory receptors that detect changes in head
position and movement, contributing to dynamic equilibrium.
The crista ampullaris is responsible for hearing by transmitting sound waves.
The crista ampullaris produces hormones that affect balance.
The crista ampullaris regulates blood flow in the inner ear.
7. Which pH represents an equal number of H+ and OH- ions?
