Pictured above is the brain viewed at midline at 3 months of age. Differentiate between the functions of the thalamus and the pons of a human brain.
A) The pons plays a key role in sleep and dreaming. The thalamus assists with the storage of long term memories.
B) The pons controls our reactions out of fear and how we react to certain stimuli. The thalamus helps us maintain a constant body temperature.
C) The pons is responsible for relaying messages between the two hemispheres of the brain.
The thalamus plays a role in consciousness and sleep.
D) The pons helps relay messages between the cortex and the cerebellum. The thalamus directs different sensory information to the different parts and lobes of the cortex.

You have a solution that contains phospholipid vesicles in a test tube. these vesicles have phospholipid bilayers, but do not contain any membrane transporters. you add a number of different molecules to the solution, and wait a period of time for them to equilibrate. if you could measure the concentration of each molecule, for which of the following would you expect to measure equal concentrations inside and outside of the vesicles? assume for this question that the overall osmolarity inside and outside the vesicles is the same (that is, there is no appreciable diffusion of water across the membrane). (select two answers) an amino acid with a hydrophobic side-chain a small non-polar molecule a negatively charged ion a small polar molecule a small lipid hormone
