The villus in the small intestine is significant because it?
Detalhes da Resposta
The villus in the small intestine is significant because it increases the surface area for absorption. The villi are finger-like projections that line the inner surface of the small intestine, and they greatly increase the surface area available for the absorption of nutrients from digested food. Each villus contains a network of capillaries and a lacteal, which absorb and transport nutrients into the bloodstream and lymphatic system, respectively. This increased surface area is essential for efficient absorption of nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, that are necessary for growth and maintenance of the body.

Which of the following is TRUE of the process of conjugation in Paramecium?
Detalhes da Resposta
The TRUE statement regarding the process of conjugation in Paramecium is that each micronucleus divides twice. During conjugation in Paramecium, two individuals exchange genetic material through their micronuclei. The micronucleus in each individual undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid nuclei. Three of these nuclei disintegrate, while the remaining haploid nucleus undergoes mitosis twice to form two nuclei. One of these nuclei becomes the new micronucleus, while the other forms the new macronucleus. Therefore, the correct option is: Each micronucleus divides twice.

Detalhes da Resposta
When the original king and queen of termites die, they are usually replaced by adult reproductives from the same colony. These replacement reproductive termites are commonly referred to as "secondary reproductives." These secondary reproductives are typically young adult termites that have not yet developed the full reproductive capabilities of the primary king and queen. However, under certain circumstances, other options such as adopting a king and queen from another colony or feeding adult workers to breed may also occur, depending on the species of termite and the specific conditions of the colony.
Pergunta 15 Relatório
Which of the following is a measure for the control of bilharzia?
Detalhes da Resposta
The measure for the control of bilharzia is the application of molluscicides in water bodies. Molluscicides are chemicals that are used to kill snails, which are intermediate hosts for the parasites that cause bilharzia. Cutting low bushes around homes may reduce the risk of exposure to ticks that transmit other diseases, but it is not an effective measure for the control of bilharzia. Screening windows and doors with mosquito nets is a measure for the prevention of malaria, which is caused by a different parasite that is transmitted by mosquitoes. Application of herbicides in water bodies is not a recommended measure for the control of bilharzia as it can have negative impacts on the aquatic ecosystem.

Pergunta 20 Relatório
The sequence of the one-way gaseous exchange mechanism in a fish is?
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct sequence of the one-way gaseous exchange mechanism in a fish is: - Mouth --> Gills --> Operculum Fish use their mouths to take in oxygen-rich water, which then passes through the gills, where the oxygen is extracted and carbon dioxide is released. The oxygen then diffuses into the bloodstream through the thin walls of the capillaries in the gills, while carbon dioxide diffuses out of the bloodstream and into the water. Finally, the water exits the fish's body through the operculum, which is a bony plate that covers the gills and helps to regulate water flow over them.
Pergunta 21 Relatório
If a DNA strand has a base sequence TCA, its complementary strand must be?
Detalhes da Resposta
The complementary strand of a DNA strand with base sequence TCA is AGT. In DNA, each nucleotide base pairs with a specific partner: adenine (A) with thymine (T) and guanine (G) with cytosine (C). The base pairing rules dictate that the complementary strand of a DNA strand with base sequence TCA would have a base sequence of AGT, because adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). Therefore, the correct answer is AGT.

Blood circulation in a mammal is said to be double because?
Detalhes da Resposta
The blood circulation in a mammal is said to be double because it passes twice through the heart in a complete circuit. This means that blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide, and then back to the heart before being pumped out to the rest of the body. This is called the pulmonary circulation. The blood then returns to the heart and is pumped out to the body in what is called systemic circulation. This process of double circulation ensures that the oxygenated blood is efficiently distributed to all parts of the body, allowing for proper bodily function.
Pergunta 26 Relatório
In demonstrating the importance of mineral elements in plants, the culture bottle must be darkened to?
Detalhes da Resposta
The culture bottle must be darkened to prevent photosynthesis in the root. This is because photosynthesis in the root can lead to the production of oxygen, which can cause oxidation and breakdown of the mineral elements. By darkening the culture bottle, the root is deprived of light, which in turn prevents photosynthesis and ensures the mineral elements remain intact. Additionally, preventing algal growth in the culture solution may also be a reason to darken the bottle, but the primary reason is to prevent photosynthesis in the root.
Pergunta 27 Relatório
When a marine fish was taken from the ocean and put in a tank of fresh water, it died after a short period because?
Detalhes da Resposta
The likely reason the marine fish died after being put in a tank of fresh water is that the body cells of the fish swelled and burst as a result of the hypotonic freshwater. Marine fish are adapted to live in saltwater, which is hypertonic compared to their body fluids. As a result, their cells are adapted to pump out excess water and retain salt. When they are placed in freshwater, which is hypotonic compared to their body fluids, water rushes into their cells, causing them to swell and eventually burst. This can lead to a range of problems, including organ failure and death. Therefore, it's important to acclimate fish properly before transferring them to a new tank or environment.
Pergunta 28 Relatório
I. Stomata --> Spirogyra
II. Alveoli --> Earthworm
III. Malpighian tubule -> Mammal
IV. Contractile vacuole -> Protozoa
Which of the above structures is correctly matched with the organisms in which it is found?
Detalhes da Resposta
Stomata allow a plant to take in carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis. They also help to reduce water loss.
The alveoli are where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and breathing out.
The Malpighian tubules are tubular structures that are free floating in the haemolymph and function as excretory and osmoregulatory organs of insects.
Contractile vacuoles (in the cells of the lower organisms) protect a cell from absorbing too much water and potentially exploding by excreting excess water.

The correct sequence of the movement of urea during urine formation is?
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct sequence of the movement of urea during urine formation is: - glomerulus --> Bowman's capsule --> convoluted tubule --> Henle's loop --> collecting tubule. is the correct sequence of events that occur during urine formation in the kidneys. The blood enters the glomerulus where filtration occurs and the filtrate moves into the Bowman's capsule. From there, the filtrate moves into the convoluted tubule, then into the Henle's loop and finally into the collecting tubule. During this process, urea and other waste products are removed from the blood and excreted in the urine.

A freshwater plant such as water lily can solve the problem of buoyancy by the possession of?
Detalhes da Resposta
A freshwater plant such as water lily can solve the problem of buoyancy by the possession of aerenchyma tissues. These are spongy tissues that contain air spaces, which provide buoyancy to the plant and help it float on the surface of the water. Aerenchyma tissues also facilitate the transport of gases, such as oxygen, from the leaves to the roots of the plant, which is important for respiration. Dissected leaves, thin cell walls of the epidermis, and water-repelling epidermis do not directly contribute to the buoyancy of the plant.

When a Spirogyra cell is immersed in a salt solution more concentrated than its cell sap, it?
Detalhes da Resposta
When a Spirogyra cell is immersed in a salt solution more concentrated than its cell sap, it loses water and shrivels. This is because of the process of osmosis, where water moves from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. In this case, the salt solution outside the cell has a higher solute concentration than the cell sap inside the Spirogyra cell, so water moves out of the cell, causing it to lose water and shrink.

The movement of part of a plant in response to external stimulus of no particular direction is?
Detalhes da Resposta
The movement of part of a plant in response to external stimulus of no particular direction is called nastic movement. Nastic movements are non-directional responses to stimuli such as touch, vibration, or changes in temperature or humidity. These movements are generally not dependent on the direction of the stimulus, and they occur in response to a wide range of stimuli. Examples of nastic movements include the opening and closing of flowers, the folding of leaves in response to touch or changes in temperature, and the movement of tendrils in climbing plants.
