The pharynx is largely made of which of the following types of tissues?

The correct answer is C. 9. The pH is determined by taking the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]). In this case, -log(10^(-9)) equals 9, so the pH of the solution is 9.

To find the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]) of \(10^{-9}\) M using the equation \(pH = -\log[H^+]\):

\[ pH = -\log(10^{-9}) \]

Now, since \( \log(10^{-9}) = -9 \), the negative sign before the logarithm makes the value positive:

\[ pH = -(-9) = 9 \]

Therefore, the solution has a pH of 9

The correct answer is B. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates blood calcium levels by stimulating the release of calcium from bones, reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys, and absorption of calcium in the intestines. Norepinephrine, growth hormone, and melatonin do not play a primary role in calcium regulation.

The correct answer is B. Facilitated diffusion is the passive movement of molecules, including water, across a membrane with the help of specific transport proteins. Water moves through specialized channels called aquaporins during facilitated diffusion.

The correct answer is B. The phenotypic ratio of 50% green pods and 50% yellow pods indicates that the genotype of the parent with green pods is heterozygous (Gg), and the genotype of the parent with yellow pods is homozygous recessive (gg). The cross would be Gg x gg.

The correct answer is C. The complementary strand of DNA will have bases that pair with the original strand according to the base-pairing rules. In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). Therefore, the complementary strand reads 3’ TCGATCGCA5’.

The experiment involves dissolving different substances in water and observing how these solutions cool. The primary variable being tested is how the type of solute (salt, sugar, baking soda) affects the cooling rate, rather than solubility or volume effects.

The correct answer is B. The vermiform appendix is a small, tube-like structure that extends from the cecum, which is the first part of the large intestine. It is not associated with the jejunum, rectum, or ischium.

The correct answer is C. Helper T-cells play a crucial role in the immune system by coordinating and stimulating other immune cells, including cytotoxic T-cells, to attack and destroy foreign agents.

Independent assortment occurs during metaphase I when homologous chromosome pairs line up randomly at the cell’s equator. This randomness contributes to genetic variation because the distribution of maternal and paternal chromosomes into gametes is different each time meiosis occurs.

The correct answer is D. Water's high specific heat capacity allows it to absorb and store large amounts of heat energy without a significant increase in temperature. Coastal areas, being near large bodies of water, experience less dramatic temperature changes because the water helps moderate temperature fluctuations by absorbing and releasing heat slowly.
