Digestion is controlled by a cascade series of hormones. What hormone is release by the arrival of chyme into the small intestine? - Answer both CCK and Secretin Which phylum or phyla have a gastrovascular cavity? - Answer Cnidaria and Platyhelminthes What is the target tissue for calcitonin and how does it respond to the binding of this hormone? - Answer The bones respond by taking up calcium from the blood.

What is plasmolysis? - Answer Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution In which osmotic environment will a cell (or potato slice) shrivel - if the environment is saltier than the cells cytoplasm or if the environment is less salty than the cells cytoplasm? will the tissue shrivel or swell - Answer saltier environment - the cell will shrivel less salty environment - cell will swell what is the difference between passive and active flow of ions or ...

evolution - Answer living things change over time natural selection - Answer explains process of descent with modification (strongest live out weak creating stronger proceeding generation) fossils prove 2 things... - Answer 1. life on earth is very old 2. living things have changed over time (some not so much) "connectedness" in fossils - Answer theory explaining observations that don't make sense in terms of natural causes. why whales today have pelvic bone, b/c...

Biology 102 Chapter 5 notes explain how cells use energy through photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Learn how metabolic pathways work, how enzymes drive reactions, and how plants convert sunlight into glucose through light reactions and the Calvin cycle. These notes also cover how mitochondria break down glucose during glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP, and how fermentation provides an alternative when oxygen is limited.

Biology 102 Chapter 4 notes introduce the structure and function of cells, comparing prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and explaining the plasma membrane, diffusion, osmosis, and transport processes. These notes also cover major eukaryotic organelles, including the nucleus, ER, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and the cytoskeleton, and show how membranes, compartments, and endosymbiosis shape cell function.
