Resting membrane potential. Testosterone feedback on the hypothalamus None of the above are examples of positive feedback. 52. Which of the following, if any, is an example of an animal with a gastrovascular cavity? Select E if none are examples. a. b. c. d. e. Earthworm Hydra Nematode (round worm) Humans None of the above organisms have a gastrovascular cavity

Explanation / Answer

49. b. frog

Meroblastic cleavage of the embryo (only a part of the cleavage occurs in eggs those are filled with yolk). Some animals including reptiles, amphibians and birds exhibit meroblastic cleavage. Frog is an amphebian.

50. c. Allantoin

In amniotes, allantoin is an extraembryonic membrane that stores and disposes of nitrogenous wastes.

51. c. Action potential.

Action potential is an example of positive feedback mechanism. In this, any stimulus causes opening of slow sodium channels, which further trigger the opening of fast sodium channels to establish an action potential.

52. b. hydra.
