Scientific consensus supports the idea that living organisms require oxygen. Then, a scientist discovers a type of bacteria that
metabolizes sulfur instead of oxygen, and thus survives in environments without oxygen. The scientist concludes that a diverse
group of many different organisms could live in an oxygen-free environment. Why are some scientists skeptical of the scientist's
results and conclusion?
The results are different from the scientific consensus.
The conclusion shows the scientist is not open-minded.
The results will be difficult for scientists to reproduce.
The conclusion needs to be supported by more evidence.

Four different thermometers were used to measure the temperature of a sample of pure boiling water. the measurements are recorded in the table below. thermometer temperature reading 1 temperature reading 2 temperature reading 3 w 100.1°c 99.9°c 96.9°c x 100.4°c 102.3°c 101.4°c y 90.0°c 95.2°c 98.6°c z 90.8°c 90.6°c 90.7°c the actual boiling point of pure water is 100.0°c. what can be concluded from the data about the reliability and validity of the thermometers?

Choose the incorrect statement (a) the motor end plate membrane is only capable of generating graded potentials, but it is contiguous with the skeletal muscle sarcolemma, which can generate action potentials. (b) propagation of an action potential through the t-tubules into the sarcoplasmic reticulum triggers the release of ca++ into the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle fiber. (c) the generation of suprathreshold endplate potentials in multiple muscle fibers could be due to the increased frequency of action potential generation at the axon hillock of a single motor neuron. (d) a greater amount of ach would be found in the presynaptic vesicles of a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to botulinum toxin, than in a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to the venom of the krait snake (which contains α-bungarotoxin).

Imagine that you are a doctor in a maternity ward. during your last shift, 20 babies were born. 10 had blue eyes, and 10 had brown eyes. 15 had round heads, and 5 had pointed heads. what are the parents phenotypes/traits?
