Jellyfish live in salt water. They have organs (and cell organelles) that pump the salt out of their bodies. The jellyfish body is actually filled with fresh water. Animals like sea turtles and whales eat them even though there are few or no calories in a jellyfish. Use your understanding of osmosis to explain this.

Ectocarpene is a volatile, sperm cell-attracting material released by the eggs of the seaweed ectocarpus siliculosus. its constitution is all the double bonds are cis, and the absolute configuration of the chirality center is s. draw a stereochemically accurate representation of ectocarpene.

In eukaryotes, genetic information is passed to the next generation by processes that include mitosis or meiosis. which of the explanations identifies the correct process and supports the claim that heritable information is passed from one generation to another? a. mitosis, followed by cytokinesis, produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell, thus insuring variation within the population. b. during mitosis, dna replication occurs twice within the cell cycle to insure a full set of chromosomes within each of the daughter cells produced. c. in asexual reproduction, a single individual is the sole parent and passes copies of its genes to its offspring without the fusion of gametes. d. single-celled organisms can fuse their cells, reproducing asexually through mitosis to form new cells that are not identical to the parent cell.

In sexual reproducing animals once fertilization of the egg takes place, the exists as a single cell until cell division begins. a) egg b) larva c) sperm d) zygote
