<p>yeah does anyone know the answer to the starling questions?</p>
<p>also the dead tissue that keeps functioning - xylem?</p>
<p>and whats the heaviest element in the human body?</p>
<p>Xylem yes. Boiling was for chlorophyll removal. Heaviest element carbon.</p>
<p>yea that was xylem.
heaviest element… i put carbon but wikipedia says its oxygen</p>
<p>“By mass, human cells consist of 65-90% water (H2O), and a significant portion is composed of carbon-containing organic molecules. Oxygen therefore contributes a majority of a human body’s mass, followed by carbon. 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of the six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.”
-wikipedia (i think it should be right)</p>
<p>Damn. yeah that makes more sense</p>
<p>for the karyotype questions in the beginning… 48 chromosomes in a somatic cell right??
i kept doubting myself cus i know humans have 46 but it wasnt talking about a human so… idk.
so 24 in a haploid cell? 24 from mother? and 25 if trisomy were to occur?</p>
<p>Yep to all.</p>
<p>starling questions… i said first to study there population habits and ecological habits. second one i said to introduce a new exotic songbird for competetition. and third one i said they are bad because of competetition.</p>
<p>also…the fertilization graph… did you say that there was an abrupt change in the graph right after sperm was introduced?</p>
<p>i assumed “effective control” meant “best killer” so i picked the virus.</p>
<p>any ideas?</p>
<p>capture and relocate seemed really impractical.</p>
<p>hmm but it meant heaviest in ALL living organisms not just humans, and all living organisms taken as a whole i guess would have more carbon? i dunno</p>
<p>As for the starling, i put the specific virus, cause introducing another species for competition would be introducing another invasive species. the others didnt work cause they didnt actually limit the population, they just spread it around</p>
<p>my PR review book says that hydrogen is the most abundant (for every 1 O, there’s 2 H in H20)</p>
<p>But I don’t know…</p>
<p>What about the hand structure questions? For flying, swimming, etc?</p>
<p>It wasn’t an abrut change, it was just a change.</p>
<p>Biggest debate is between virus or introducing competition, hard to see viruses controlling a popoulation, rather it would just compeltey decimate it.</p>
<p>Also, it can’t be hydrogen because H weighs only 1 AMU.</p>
<p>-what will happen to the cyanide producing plant? (I think this was a question on E)
-did the “heaviest element” question even have oxygen as an answer choice? I said carbon too
-how can the starling population be controlled? I said virus</p>
<p>what was the question about kidney dialysis? was the answer the oxygen regulation?</p>
<p>Metabolic wastes.</p>
<p>How would biodiversity be promoted in that songbird question?</p>
<p>I picked capture and relocate to less populated areas</p>
<p>The branch is 2 feet from the ground, where is it when the tree grows 4 feet?</p>
<p>I guessed 6 assuming it had to be right</p>
<p>How does a tree grow?</p>
<p>I guessed from the base up, but then again i had no clue</p>
<p>the starling questions: 1) range of greatest growth (35-45), 2) introduce an exotic species to compete with the starlings for resources</p>
<p>the purpose of boiling the chloroplasts was to remove the chlorophyll * I missed this one, dam this question. I chose hydrolyze glucose to starch. However, Plants store glucose as starch, i forgot this. </p>
<p>the diagrams: grasping-human hand with five fingers number 6, swimming-fin number 1, flying bat and bird numbers 2 and 3</p>
<p>wait what did the question ask? was it what dialysis did NOT do or what it WILL do?</p>
<p>What will it replace as a function/</p>
<p>On the E section…does anybody remember the question where “Founder Effect” was a choice.</p>
<p>What the hell was with the question about the tree growing 2 feet? was the answer 6 feet?</p>
<p>And in case anybody was wondering (I looked these up) , Arthropods are the most diverse, Mollusks secrete shells from the Mantle</p>
