The nurse is performing a health screening on a 54-year-old client. the client has a blood pressure of 118/78 mm hg, total cholesterol level of 190 mg/dl (4.9 mmol/l), and fasting blood glucose level of 184 mg/dl (10.2 mmol/l). the nurse interprets this to mean that the client has which modifiable risk factor for coronary artery disease (cad)

How is ribosomal rna useful as a molecular clock? a. a large portion of the dna ring is not vital to structure or function, allowing it to accumulate neutral mutations. b. its rate of mutation increases over time as organisms continue to evolve and differentiate from each other. c. a slow mutation rate makes it useful for determining evolutionary relationships between ancient species. d. it is only found in select organisms, making it easier to compare relationships between species that have it.

The double bond between a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms (a molecule of carbon dioxide) has two characteristics. what are they? a. an ionic bond is formed between the oxygen and carbon atoms. b. four valence electrons are shared. c. two valence electrons are shared. d. valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms.

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.
