a runner runs the 40 miles from marathon to athens at a constant speed . halfway through the run she injures her foot , and continues to run at half her previous speed . if the second half takes her 5 hours longer than the first half , how many hours did it take the runner to run the second half ?
[ "8", "9", "10", "11" ]
C
the runner runs the first 20 miles at speed v and the second 20 miles at speed v / 2 . the time t 2 to run the second half must be twice the time t 1 to run the first half . t 2 = 2 * t 1 = t 1 + 5 t 1 = 5 and so t 2 = 10 . the answer is c .

What types of incest behaviors are controlled by genes?
[ "byproduct behaviors like flying and mating", "instinctive behaviors like flying and mating", "physical behaviors like flying and mating", "psychological behaviors like flying and mating" ]
B
Insects are capable of a surprising range of behaviors. Most of their behaviors, such as flying and mating, are instinctive. These are behaviors that don’t need to be learned. They are largely controlled by genes. However, some insect behaviors are learned. For example, ants and bees can learn where food is located and...

What kind of solution might cause animal cells to burst?
[ "hypotonic", "monatomic", "eutrophic", "Acid Solution" ]
A
Unless an animal cell (such as the red blood cell in the top panel) has an adaptation that allows it to alter the osmotic uptake of water, it will lose too much water and shrivel up in a hypertonic environment. If placed in a hypotonic solution, water molecules will enter the cell, causing it to swell and burst. Plant ...

What process is at work when warm air or water rises, and cool air or water sinks?
[ "convection", "moisture", "radiation", "evaporation" ]
A
Warmer, lighter air is more buoyant than the cooler air above it. So the warm air rises. The cooler air is denser than the air beneath it. So it sinks down. This is convection: warm air rises, and cool air sinks. Warm fluids can undergo convection as well. This is described in the chapter Plate Tectonics .
