Introduction:
Human is a social animal. He lives in a society with other persons and organisms. Due to this fact, he develops a way, or an attitude or thinking of a particular person or group of persons and he reacts to him/her accordingly. This way or attitude in which a person acts of others or towards himself or towards others is called his behavior.

Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
The correct answer is the question - How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness? Therefore option c. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
Behavior of a person depends on many factors like the interaction, attitude of others, fondness and some other factors. If a particular person or any organism has a threat from other person or organism or has a liking for some or the person or thing or any organism he or she develops a protective and a restrictive behavior for that particular person or organism.
Option c. is given as “How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness?”.
As, “the question - How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness? highlight the behavior and the relation of alarm and the prairie dog”, is the right answer.
Hence, option c. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “How does a squid alter its color to blend in with its environment?”
This question enquires and gives a hint about the process not about a behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option b. is given as “How does a hummingbird's body shape influence its ability to hover?”
This question depicts a process and is not related to behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option d. is given as “Which cues do monarch butterflies use during migration?”
This question asks about the type of monarch butterflies and not about their behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.
The behavior of an organism shows or tells about the way in which any person, animal or any organism gives response to any particular condition.

Steroids diffuse through membranes without transporters. Compare and contrast the remaining substances and circle the three substances that can diffuse through a membrane the fastest, without a transporter. Put a square around the other substance that can also diffuse through a membrane (1000x slower but also without a transporter).

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.

Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…arrow_forward
