Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Diffusion is movement of molecules from areas of high concentrations to low concentrations. Effusion refers to the seepage or loss of blood through torn blood vessels. Osmosis describes the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a less-concentrated to a more-concentrated area. Suspensions are mixtures of solutions with undissolved particles or mol-ecules.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Partial pressure of oxygen =  oxygen  barometric pressure, or 0.25  760 mm Hg = 190 mm Hg.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
