1. Imagine that there had been a rocket big
enough to lift the entire International Space
Station into space. What kind of challenges
might that plan present?

All cells have the same genetic information, but do not express the same genes. how is this possible? question 10 options: the differences are due to gene expression, which can be turned on and off. genetic material in a muscle cell is completely different from genetic material in a skin cell. genetic material is the same in all cells in the human body, except for reproductive cells. differences are due to major changes in genetic information from cell to cell.

Which of these is true for bacteria because they are prokaryotic cells? a. they can engulf body cells in order to make memory cells. b. they must invade viruses in order to reproduce. c. they are much larger than eukaryotic body cells. d. they can reproduce on their own outside of other cells.

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i.e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).
