Critical thinking is the ability to reason and solve problems using facts and concepts. These questions can be approached from a number of angles, and in most cases, they do not have a single correct answer.
Give the common name of a eukaryotic microbe that is unicellular, walled, nonphotosynthetic, nonmotile, and bud-forming.
Answer:
Yeast
Explanation:
The correct answer would be yeast.
Yeast belongs to the fungi kingdom. Organisms in the fungi kingdom are generally eukaryotic in that their cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondrion. Fungal cells lack chlorophyll and are therefore nonphotosynthetic. They are also nonmotile
While fungi exhibit different body forms in terms of body complexity, the only unicellular form is yeast. The organism possesses all the attributes of fungi highlighted above, has a cell wall made largely of chitin, and reproduces through budding.
Answer: Yeast.
Explanation:
Yeasts are eukaryotic organisms, more precisely microscopic fungi that do not form filamentous networks (hyphae), classified as ascomycetes or basidiomycetes and are predominantly unicellular in their life cycle. The cell wall of yeasts is composed of complex "B"-glucan polysaccharides, mannoproteins and chitin. Also, yeast are non-motile organisms when they grownon a solid media.
They usually reproduce asexually by budding or bipartition and by having sexual stages that are not attached to a sporocarp (fruiting body). During asexual reproduction, a new bud emerges from the mother yeast when suitable conditions are met, after which the bud separates from the mother upon reaching adult size. In the case that they reproduce sexually, this occurs by means of ascospores or basidiospores. In conditions of nutrient scarcity, yeasts that are able to reproduce sexually will form ascospores.
Yeasts are important because of their ability to carry out the decomposition by fermentation (predominantly alcoholic) of various organic compounds, mainly sugars or carbohydrates, producing different substances. Therefore, they do not photosynthesize to obtain energy, since they do not possess chlorophyll (pigment responsible for capturing solar energy for photosynthesis).
3. DNA and Protein similarities are often used for molecular evidence of evolution. What is being compared to show relatedness among species? Explain how this works.

Ari drew a diagram to show organisms in an ecosystem.
A flowchart. Cycle 1: 1, Grass. 2, Grasshopper. 3, Shrew or Mouse. 4, Fox. Cycle 2: 1, Grass. 2, Mouse. 3, Fox or Snake. Cycle 3: 1, Grass. 2, Rabbit. 3, Fox.
What did Ari draw?
a food chain
a trophic chain
a food web
an energy web
Answer: Ari draw a food web.
Explanation:
A single ecosystem which contains all the food chains is called a food web.
In a food web each living thing present in a food web is a part of multiple food chains. Hence, food webs tend to represent the overlapping of food chains in that ecosystem.
The flow chart drawn by Ari represents that the living things present in cycle 1 are part of cycle 2 and cycle 3. Also, living things present in cycle 2 are part of cycle 1 and cycle 3.
A food chain is basically a single path where each organism is dependent of the other as a source of food without any overlapping.
Thus, we can conclude that Ari draw a food web.

Comb jellies are:____.
A. Bilaterally symmetrical.
B. Similar to a cnidarian polyp.
C. Distinguished by eight bands of cilia.
D. Colonial animals.
E. Carnivores that use nematocysts to capture prey.
Answer:
C. Distinguished by eight bands of cilia.
Explanation:
Ctenophora, also known as comb jellies, represents a phylum of transparent, mostly pelagic, invertebrate marine animals that live around the world. This group characterized by eight rows of cilia (singular cilium) that are used for locomotion. Cilia are organelles and/or structures that extend from the surface of eukaryotic cells, which can be used to move the surrounding fluid, resulting in cell movement. This phylum is divided into two classes: Tentaculata (with tentacles) and Nuda (without tentacles).

What are carbohydrates?
O Water is non-polar which is why other compounds will dissolve in it
O Macromolecules composed of amino acids
O Non-water soluble macromolecules with a high proportion of hydrocarbons
O Macromolecules composed of nucleotides
Answer:
O Non-water soluble macromolecules with a high proportion of hydrocarbons
Explanation:
Carbohydrates are one of the four biological molecules in nature (asides from proteins, nucleic acid, and lipids). Carbohydrates are a complex polymer consisting of several chains of carbon and hydrogen (hydrocarbons).
According to this question, carbohydrates are non-water soluble macromolecules with a high proportion of hydrocarbons.
High altitude adaptation is a complex physiological process that involves an increase in both the number of Hb molecules per erythrocyte and the total number of erythrocytes. It normally requires several weeks to complete. However, even after one day at high altitude, there is a significant degree of adaptation. This effect results from a rapid increase in the erythrocyte BPG concentration.
a. Try to do this without looking at the graphs. If oxygen-binding curves for both high altitude adapted hemoglobin and normal, unadapted Hb were plotted together, would the curve for high altitude adapted Hb be to the left of, to the right of or the same as the curve for unadapted Hb? Explain.
b. Is the oxygen binding affinity of high-altitude adapted Hb higher, lower, or the same as that of unadapted Hb? Explain.
Answer:
a. To the right
b. higher
Explanation:
From the information given:
a.
The oxygen-adsorption curve of the elevated high altitude modified the hemoglobin and this will move to the right because there is a reduced amount of oxygen available at high altitude, as well as an increase in carbon dioxide and H+ ion concentration, temperature, and all of which raise pH and shifts the curve towards the right.
b.
As there is a low relative partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude, the oxygen-binding attraction of high altitude adaptable hemoglobin is greater and higher than that of unadapted hemoglobin under pulmonary oxygen loading. This is important to optimize the oxygen concentration levels in blood circulation and blood tissues.

What sugars are composed of short chains
The monosaccharides glucose, fructose, and galactose are single sugar molecules. The disaccharides sucrose, lactose, and maltose are double sugar molecules. Complex carbohydrates are chains of more than two sugar molecules. Short carbohydrate chains are called oligosaccharides and contain 3 to 10 sugar molecules.
At her initial evaluation, Ms. Jones reports that she has lost 25 pounds over the past eight months despite an increase in her appetite. She complains of extreme fatigue, heart palpitations and irritability. Clinical observations reveal a protrusion of the eyeballs and hand tremors. You suspect that she might have:
a. hypothyroidism
b. diabetes mellitus
c. hypopituitarism
d. hyperthyroidism
Answer:
d. hyperthyroidism
Explanation:
Hyperthyroidism is a condition that occurs when the thyroid gland in our body secretes too much of the thyroxin hormone. Thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped gland that is located in our neck and it produces the hormone called thyroxin. Excess production of thyroxin leads to a condition named hyperthyroidism.
A person's metabolism increases when he or she is suffering from hyperthyroidism. One's weight is lost but the appetite increases. Other symptoms are extreme fatigue, irritability, heart palpitations, sweating and puffy eyes.
Thus in the context, Ms. Jones is suspect to have hyperthyroidism as she she is showing all the above symptoms.

Natural selection was acting on the population of radish plants. Which of the following DOES NOT satisfy a condition of natural selection as it relates to our radish populations?
a. there was a purple phenotype and a white phenotype
b. the R allele produced a white plant, and rr produced purple plants
c. competition was affecting the reproductive success of at least one of the morphs
d. our populations of radishes were small
e. all of the above are examples of conditions necessary and sufficient for evolution by natural selection
Answer:
d. our populations of radishes were small
Explanation:
Natural selection is a type of evolution that allows only individuals with favorable characteristics and better adapted to the environment to survive and reproduce offspring with the same favorable characteristics. In this case, to observe a population where natural selection is taking place, population sizes can be disregarded, as this is not a condition for natural selection to take place. However, the other conditions presented in the response options are necessary for natural selection, since it is necessary that there are different phenotypes and genotypes in the population and that competition between them promotes the survival of one group at the expense of the other.
