Fill in the blanks. A monsoon is a wind that _ affects an area. Monsoons will blow from _ areas to _, since cold air is more dense than warm air. Monsoons are accompanied by significant changes in _ , which is what most people think of when they do think of monsoons.

One area of the world closely associated with monsoons is India. In the summer months, the monsoons originate in the _ and Arabian Sea, blowing to the _ . These winds bring with them massive amounts of heavy rain from June to September. The rain can be so strong that the resulting flooding can destroy entire towns. However, the rains can also be very beneficial. They provide farmers in the region with much of the rain they need to irrigate their crops.

_ find the reversal of the summer months pattern. As the temperature in India begins to cool, the winds blow from the _ towards the southwest. Unlike the summer monsoons, winter monsoons are much _. While some areas do get precipitation, in general these monsoons are characterized by dry winds.

Q1.8. continuing your studies, you perform a transplant experiment. you chisel up multiple rocks from the upper intertidal zone, each holding 10 individuals of species a, and move them to the lower intertidal zone among individuals of species c. you count the number of individuals of all species on the rocks every day for 30 days. based on your findings, what can you conclude? (remember that all 3 species settle in this zone at equal rates.)

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i.e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
