Lobsters prey on sea hares, which are marine animals. The lobsters find their prey through a sense of smell. The sea hares defend themselves by squirting ink at the lobster, as shown in the photo below. The ink sticks to the lobster, interfering with its sense of smell. The most likely reason the sea hare can escape is because the sea hare ink

• pushes the sea hare away rapidly as the ink is expelled

• blocks a receptor on certain cells in the lobster

• causes the lobster to change its prey

• prevents movement of the lobster

The movement of molecules from side A to side B is an example of the process of

• active transport

• chromatography

• cellular respiration

• diffusion

When a person is exercising on a hot day, he or she sweats, helping to maintain homeostatic body temperature. This is an example of:

• organ system malfunction
• feedback
• fighting infection
• a disruption of homeostasis

molecules small enough to pass through the pores of cell membranes can passively leave the digestive system and enter the blood through what process?

• diffusion
• active transport
• photosynthesis
• cellular respiration

When the homeostasis of at least one body system is disrupted, this is called:

• disease/illness
• dynamic equilibrium
• feedback mechanism
• response to stimuli

An individual walks out of his air-conditioned (75°F) home into the hot outside environment (85°F). His ability to adjust to this changing environment involves a mechanism similar to:  

• glucose production in the pancreas 
• using ATP for the diffusion of water
• the digestion of carbohydrates by enzymes 
• the regulation of water loss by guard cells in plant leaves

• circulation throughout the body
•  roles in building water molecules 
•  functions inside and outside of cells 
• movements through the cytoplasm

• circulatory and respiratory
• digestive and circulatory
• digestive and immune
•  respiratory and excretory
