Which of the following organelles is the site of intracellular digestion?

The hip bone (or pelvis) in adults is formed by the fusion of three separate bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. This fusion occurs during adolescence and results in a single, solid structure.

When a proton is emitted from the nucleus of an atom, the atomic number (Z) decreases by 1 because a proton has a positive charge, and it's effectively removing one positive charge from the nucleus. However, the atomic mass (A) remains the same because protons and neutrons contribute to the atomic mass, and the emission of a proton does not affect the number of neutrons.

The correct answer is B. This option involves a control group (water) and an experimental group (energy drink) to compare the effects. By having a group that does not consume the energy drink, researchers can better attribute any observed differences in running speed to the energy drink itself.

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 C. Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition characterized by the rapid buildup of skin cells, and it is considered a noninfectious disease. Chikungunya, dengue, and brucellosis are infectious diseases caused by specific pathogens.

The correct answer is B. When a volcano erupts, it releases built-up pressure and gases, similar to the fizzing of a can of soda when opened. Both involve the release of pressure and trapped substances, leading to an outward expulsion of materials.

The correct answer is A. This option describes a chemical reaction known as the reaction of water with sodium, producing hydrogen gas. Chemical reactions involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, and in this case, sodium reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide.

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 A. Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream without ducts, while exocrine glands have ducts through which their secretions are transported to specific locations. This fundamental difference in the mode of secretion distinguishes endocrine from exocrine glands.

The correct answer is C. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing enzymes that break down cellular waste, debris, and foreign materials through intracellular digestion.
