Question: In what way do the membranes of a eukaryotic cell vary?
4. Only certain membranes are constructed from amphipathic molecules.
The measurements taken at Mauna Loa represent average atmospheric CO2 concentrations for the Northern Hemisphere. Suppose you could measure CO2 concentrations under similar conditions in the Southern Hemisphere. What pattern would you expect to see in those measurements over the course of a year? Explain.
Question: When electrons flow along the electron transport chain of mitochondria, which of the following changes occurs?
Which of the following is a consequence of biological magnification?

(D) Only a small portion of the energy captured by producers is transferred to consumers.
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS One factor favoring rapid population growth by an introduced species is the absence of the predators, parasites, and pathogens that controlled its population in the region where it evolved. In a short essay (100–150 words), explain how evolution by natural selection in a region of introduction would influence the rate at which native predators, parasites, and pathogens attack an introduced species.
