Which of the following is NOT true concerning correlation?

Homeostatic mechanisms are involuntary actions by organs, glands, tissues and cells to maintain balance within the body. If a function is disrupted the body will readjust in an attempt to maintain balance. During periods of starvation the body will break down glucose reserves in order to maintain normal glucose levels.

There are four major types of carbohydrates: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides (mono- means one) are made up of one sugar molecule, while disaccharides (di- means two) are made up of two sugar molecules. Oligosaccharides (oligo- means few) are usually less than a dozen sugar molecules, while polysaccharides (poly-means many) are usually more than a dozen sugar molecules.

Pentasaccharides are not a type of carbohydrate.

Since only 2 out of the initial 16 plants survived the whole month, it would be reasonable to test variables that were shared by all the plants. As such, the amount of liquid the plants need would be a good follow-up experiment. It is not specified as to which plants survived, so there is not enough information to think that testing the impact of salt is warranted. Additionally, since almost all the plants died, it is not reasonable to assume that a combination of the solutions would have an impact.

Enzymes are substrate-specific. Most enzymes catalyze only one biochemical reaction. Their active sites are specific for a certain type of substrate and do not bind to other substrates and catalyze other reactions.

There are three types of proteins: fibrous, membrane, and globular. Fibrous or structural proteins consist of collagen, elastin, and keratin. Membrane proteins are interactive and anchored to a membrane. Globular proteins consist of functional proteins like enzymes, hemoglobin, and insulin.

Therefore unsaturated is the correct answer.

There are two types of nitrogenous bases: purine and pyrimidine bases. Purine bases have two rings in their structure and consist of adenine and guanine. Pyrimidine bases only have one ring in their structure and consist of thymine and cytosine (DNA) and uracil and cytosine (RNA). Therefore, the correct answer is B since thymine is a pyrimidine.

The evidence says that every child in a certain family has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). All of these children have genetic commonalities. Therefore, ASD may be genetic.

The evidence does not mention whether the children died from ASD. Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn that ASD may be lethal. Furthermore, the sample size of the evidence is much too small to suggest that ASD is related to traditional nuclear family structures.

Enzymes act as catalysts for biochemical reactions. A catalyst is not consumed in a reaction, but rather lowers the activation energy for that reaction. The potential energy of the substrate and the product remain the same, but the activation energy-the energy needed to make the reaction progress can be lowered with the help of an enzyme.

The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine. It receives partially digested food (also called chyme) from the stomach, further digesting it with the help of enzymes released by the gall bladder. Then, the food enters into the jejunum, then the ileum. The large Intestine's main function is the reabsorption of water into the body to form solid waste. It also allows for the absorption of vitamin K produced by microbes living inside the large intestine.
