2b. In the past meat was preserved by coating it with salt. One reason that this worked was that the salt, with a little bit of water, is __________relative to bacteria, and water would move _________ the bacteria killing them (hint: think beef jerky!!!!).

6. 2g.Movement of individual dye molecules as they are distributed throughout a tank of water
   1. is a random process

   3. is always against the concentration gradient
   4. results from differences in gravity, pressure, or both

Why do we waste energy making introns?

The question may be broad but it's something our professor asked us. Thank you.

1. Given that the end of point of apoptosis is the same, describe one way you would expect all of these forms of cell to be the same. (Dead cells is NOT a sufficient answer).

Confused on this question, because one of the earlier question said that some forms of apoptosis do NOT require the activation of the caspases. So i'm not unsure of exactly do they have in common? Is it just that they're revolved around caspase whether it's dependent and independent?

1.Describe the basic process of metamorphosis and give three examples from three different phyla of the varied forms of metamorphosis in the animal kingdom.

2.Animals typically show either radial or bilateral symmetry. Explain what this means and discuss how this affects their ecology and behavior.

3.Only a few groups of animals have conquered land throughout evolutionary history. Identify these groups and describe some of the challenges associated with life on land as opposed to life in water. Given the challenges, what advantages are there to living on land?

4.With over one million species described, arthropods are the most diverse group of animals. In the space below, briefly describe at least three reasons that make arthropods such a successful group of animals.

Hurry please!!

For the following allosteric regulators of CAC:

• Predict whether the cell has abundant energy or needs energy
• State which enzyme (s) are affected and why this enzyme
• state whether the enzyme is activated or inhibited
  • high concentrations of NADH
  • High concentrations of CA2+
  • high concentrations of succinyl-CoA

2 pages min with diagrams . thanks

If the cells from the mixed smear were observed after each step of the acid-fast or cold acid-fast procedure, predict the colors of the cells at each step.
