Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Sometimes a substance cannot move freely on its own in or out of a cell. Such a substance may attach to another kind of molecule, called a carrier, to be diffused. This form of diffusion, known as facilitated diffusion, does not require energy, only the presence of the carrier. Active transport requires energy to move the substance against the concentration gradient. Osmosis is a special form of diffusion where water moves across a semipermeable membrane from an area low in solutes to one that is higher in solutes to dilute solutes. Passive transport does not require energy to move solutions across a semipermeable membrane and includes diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The large intestine uses a process of mass movement with an occasional peristaltic wave. When the beginning segment of the large intestine is stimulated, it contracts and sends a massive peristaltic movement throughout the entire large intestine. The end result of the mass movement is usually excretion of waste products. Segmentation occurs in the small intestine. The nerve plexus maintains a basic electrical rhythm (BER), much like the pacemaker rhythm in the heart. Rectal stimulation is not normally required for a bowel movement.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage. Any exposure to sunlight adds to the cumulative effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to eye disorders such as macular degeneration, solar retinitis, and corneal dystrophies.

Approximately 500,000 babies are born each year in the United States to teenage mothers.

Did you know?

To prove that stomach ulcers were caused by bacteria and not by stress, a researcher consumed an entire laboratory beaker full of bacterial culture. After this, he did indeed develop stomach ulcers, and won the Nobel Prize for his discovery.
