The drawing shown above is a micrograph of a cross section of a ureter. A patient becomes ill with a condition that prevents the tissue labeled B from functioning properly. What is the result of this condition?

A) If the smooth muscle does not function properly, the ureter cannot contract to drain urine from the kidneys.

B) If the smooth muscle does not function properly, the ureter cannot expand to accommodate the flow of urine.

C) If the epithelium does not function properly, the ureter cannot expand to accommodate the flow of urine.

D) If the epithelium does not function properly, the ureter cannot contract to drain urine from the kidneys.

With the description of the different cell walls, membranes, and associated proteins set in the students' minds, you now need to introduce them to the idea that the cell wall can also act as a foundation to build things upon. bacterial appendages require a strong foundation that will offer the support needed to move and function in a dynamic world. for example, flagella are long, whiplike protein structures that are used by many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria for locomotion. in order to function effectively, a flagellum must be firmly anchored to the cell wall. how will you be able to get across the idea that the peptidoglycan cell wall is strong enough to support such a mechanism? with a protein rod that passes through the cell wall and protein rings used to anchor it in the membranes, these basal bodies are the rudimentary biological motors that use atp power to spin the hook and the flagella attached to it. bacterial flagella have a biological motor that spins within the cell wall and is powered by atp. this allows the flagella to spin in a whiplike motion to propel the bacterium.

The circles, or orbits, for electrons are called energy levels. each level can hold only a certain number of electrons. add electrons to each level until you can't add any more. how many electrons can each level hold?

Which would happen if more forests were cut down? a. the nitrogen cycle would be stopped b. nitrogen would be fixed by bacteria more quickly c. the amount of co2 in the atmosphere would increase d. fossil fuels would build up in the soil c the amount of co2 in the atmosphere would increase
