Early-acting stress sensors provide the initial signal for the stress response,  several possible examples of stress-sensing mechanisms that act early in the pathway have been identified. They include:

A) calcium channel (cyclic nucleotide-gated calcium channel) that senses changes in temperature

B) A kinase (SnRK1, a SNF1-related kinase 1) that senses energy depletion during stress

C) A plasma membrane histidine kinase (ATHK1) that senses osmotic stress

D) A leucine rich repeat receptor kinase (LRRK) protein (Srlk)

E) An endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane sensor inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)

And activating several response after sensing these mechanisms;

i) activates hundreds of stress-response transcripts

ii) that functions as an upstream regulator of salinity responses in Arabidopsis

iii) that is required for acclimation to heat stress

iv) that is required for heat tolerance in plants

v) activates ABA-dependent and ABA-independent responses

Which of the following is the correct match the activating response with its sense mechanism;

In a hospital laboratory, a 10.0 mL sample of gastric juice, obtained several hours after a meal, was titrated with 0.1 M NaOH to neutrality; 7.2 mL of NaOH was required. The patient’s stomach contained no ingested food or drink, thus assume that no buffers were present. What was the pH of the gastric juice?

When an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed in water, the component atoms of the NaCl crystal dissociate into individual sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In contrast, the atoms of covalently bonded molecules (e.g., glucose, sucrose, glycerol) do not generally dissociate when placed in aqueous solution. Which of the following solutions would be expected to contain the greatest number of solute particles (molecules or ions)?
