Q1: Which of the following offers the best description of neural transmission across a mammalian synaptic gap?
(A) Neural impulses involve the flow of K+ and Na+ across the gap.
(B) Neural impulses travel across the gap as electrical currents.(C) Neural impulses cause the release of chemicals that diffuse
across the gap.(D) Neural impulses travel across the gap in both directions.(E) The calcium within the axons and dendrites of nerves
adjacent to a synapse acts as the neurotransmitter.

Q3: All of the following statements about neurotransmitters are generally true EXCEPT:
A They may cause depolarization or hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic membraneB They are actively transported across the synaptic cleftC They are released from membrane-bound packets called vesiclesD They may be enzymatically degraded at the postsynaptic membraneE They bind to specific receptors on the postsynaptic membrane.

Immune System
Features of Exchange Surfaces?1. Large surface area, often folded2. Thin barrier to reduce diffusion distance3. Fresh supply of required molecules on one
side to keep concentration high-Removal of required molecules on other side to keep concentration low-(maintains concentration gradient)

Q5: In mammals, a decrease in body temperature results in which of the following responses?
A Release of thyroxine decreases the rate of metabolismB Blood vessels close to the surface of the skin constrictC Increased secretion of epinephrine restricts the amount of sugar released into the circulatory systemD The adrenal glands increase the release of acetylcholine into the circulatory systemE Blood vessels in deep muscles constrict so that heat is conserved

Positive Feedback in Plants
• Ripening Fruit—hormone ethylene• One of the coolest things about ethylene is that it is
released in a positive feedback loop: a little bit of ethylene causes more to be released, which causes even more to be released, and so on.
• A benefit of this fact is that you can take an unripe fruit (a pear, plum, or peach, for example) and put it in a paper bag with riper fruit (bananas work well for this) and ethylene will accumulate, making the unripe fruit soft and sweet.
Q6: Which of the following hormones is directly responsible for positive feedback loop during labor?
A MelatoninB OxytocinC ProgesteroneD ProlactinE FSH
Which of the following hormones is directly responsible for the maintenance of the uterine lining during pregnancy in mammals?

Question 8: In the process of succession, which of the following is true of K-selected plant species?
A. They keep their carrying capacity at a minimum level.B. They usually reproduce early in life.C. They are usually found in climax stages of succession.D. There are the dominant species in early stages of
succession.E. They have a short lifespan.

Fixed Action Patterns
• A fixed action pattern (FAP)– Is a sequence of unlearned, innate behaviors that
is unchangeable– Once initiated, is usually carried to completion
• A FAP is triggered by an external sensory stimulus– Known as a sign stimulus
Figure 51.3a(a) A male three-spined stickleback fish shows its red underside.
• When presented with unrealistic models– As long as some red is present, the attack
behavior occurs
Figure 51.3b
(b) The realistic model at the top, without a red underside, produces no aggressive response in a male three-spined stickleback fish. Theother models, with red undersides, produce strong responses.
Imprinting
• Imprinting is a type of behavior– That includes both learning and innate
components and is generally irreversible
Imprinting is distinguished from other types of learning by a sensitive period
A limited phase in an animal’s development that is the only time when certain behaviors can be learned
An example of imprinting is young geeseFollowing their mother
• Operant conditioning is a form of psychological learning where an individual modifies the occurrence and form of its own behavior due to the association of the behavior with a stimulus.
• Operant conditioning is distinguished from classical conditioning (also called respondent conditioning) in that operant conditioning deals with the modification of "voluntary behavior" or operant behavior
Question 9: If young male zebra finches are raised by foster parents of another species, the
Bengalese finch, they will court female Bengalese finch instead of females of their own species. This
behavior results from which of the following?
A. ImprintingB. HabituationC. ConditioningD. ReinforcementE. Pheromones

Question 10: All of the following statements concerning characteristics of predator-prey relationships are correct EXCEPT:
A. A rise in the population of prey is often followed by a rise in the population of predators.
B. A rise in the population of predators is followed by a decrease in the population of prey.
C. Camouflage is an adaptation that protects prey.D. The production of large number of offspring within very short periods of
time ensures the survival of some prey populationsE. The population of predators most often eliminates the population of prey.
