Which of the following is a function of bone?

To accurately measure the density of a series of small irregular solids made of plastic, wood, fiberglass, and glass, a student will need a graduated cylinder, water, and a weighing balance. The student can use the water displacement method to determine the volume of each solid by measuring the volume of water displaced when the solid is submerged in a graduated cylinder filled with water. The mass of each solid can be measured using a weighing balance. The density can then be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume.

The other options are not correct because they do not provide the necessary tools to accurately measure the density of the solids. A spectrophotometer is used to measure light absorption and is not necessary for measuring density. A graduated beaker is less accurate than a graduated cylinder for measuring volume. A Bunsen burner is used for heating and is not necessary for measuring density.

The organ that filters excess solutes from the blood is the kidney ¹. The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine, just below the rib cage ². They are responsible for filtering waste products and excess fluid from the blood and excreting them in the form of urine ².

The other options are not correct because they do not accurately describe the organ that filters excess solutes from the blood. The stomach, spleen, and gallbladder do not filter excess solutes from the blood.

The doctor refuses to prescribe antibiotics to the patient because the illness is caused by a virus. The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. Antibiotics are not effective against viral infections and are only used to treat bacterial infections.

The other options are not correct because they do not accurately describe the cause of the common cold and sore throat. Fungus, protist, and bacteria are not the pathogens responsible for causing the common cold.

D. The opening of potassium channels allowing potassium to leave the neuron

The correct answer is d. The opening of potassium channels allowing potassium to leave the neuron. Repolarization of a neuron occurs after an action potential, when the neuron's membrane potential returns to its resting state. This is achieved by the opening of potassium channels, which allows potassium ions to flow out of the neuron. This movement of positively charged ions out of the neuron helps to restore the negative membrane potential.

A. The inhibition of sodium and potassium pumps would not allow for repolarization because these pumps are necessary for maintaining the resting membrane potential.

B. The opening of sodium channels would cause depolarization, not repolarization.

C. The closing of both sodium and potassium channels would restrict ion movement, but it would not allow for repolarization.

The tibia and fibula are located in the crural region of the body, which is the lower leg between the knee and ankle. The coxal region refers to the hip area, the antecubital region is the front of the elbow, and the tarsal region is the ankle and foot.

The correct answer is a. Soap’s dual polar and nonpolar nature helps bond oil and water. Soap is an emulsifier, which means that it has both polar and nonpolar regions. The polar regions of soap molecules are atracted to water, while the nonpolar regions are atracted to oil and grease. This allows soap to bond with both water and oil, helping to remove dirt and grime from surfaces.

B. Soap’s acidity does not cause grime to precipitate into the water.

C. Soap does not have enzymatic action that helps to dissolve grime into small particles.

D. Soap’s texture does not physically scour grime off surfaces.

The data in the table does not support any of the conclusions a, b or d. The only conclusion that can be drawn from the data is c. The time of fall is independent of the mass of the object. This is because objects 1 and 2 have the same mass but different times of fall, while objects 3 and 4 have different masses but also different times of fall. There time of fall does not seem to depend on the mass of the object.

a.Objects A and B are not mentioned in the table, so this conclusion cannot be drawn from the data.

b.The data does not support the conclusion that the greater the mass of an object, the faster it will fall. In fact, object 3 has a greater mass than object 2 but falls in less time.

d. Air resistance is not mentioned in the table, so this conclusion cannot be drawn from the data.

A genetic mutation that results in uncontrolled division of a single cell within the body describes cancer ¹. Cancer is a disease of uncontrolled cell division ¹. Its development and progression are usually linked to a series of changes in the activity of cell cycle regulators ¹. In most cases, these changes in activity are due to mutations in the genes that encode cell cycle regulator proteins ¹.

The other options are not correct because they do not accurately describe a genetic mutation that results in uncontrolled division of a single cell within the body. Gene therapy, stem cells, and translation are not processes that result in uncontrolled cell division.

The function of a totipotent cell is to develop into any kind of cell ¹. Totipotent cells have the capacity to produce all adult cell types and can enter the germ line, contributing genetic material to succeeding generations ?. They have the ability to self-replicate, producing daughter cells that are identical to the parent ?.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the function of a totipotent cell. Fighting infectious diseases, aiding in the maturation of sex cells, and carrying electrical impulses are not functions performed by totipotent cells.

Perforins are immune system molecules that create holes in the cell membranes of their target cells in order to destroy the cell. Perforins are proteins that are released by cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells

They form pores in the target cell membrane, allowing water and ions to enter the cell and causing it to swell and burst.

The other options are not correct because they do not accurately describe the immune system molecules that create holes in the cell membranes of their target cells. Interferons, cytokines, and lymphotoxins do not create holes in cell membranes.
