question 11

Multiple Choice

Use the data in Table 12.1 to answer the following questions.
The data were obtained from a study of the length of time spent in each phase of the cell cycle by cells of three eukaryotic organisms designated beta, delta, and gamma.
$\begin{array} { l r r r r } \text { Cell Type } & \mathrm { G } _ { 1 } & \mathrm {~S} & \mathrm { G } _ { 2 } & M \\\hline \text { Beta } & 18 & 24 & 12 & 16 \\\text { Delta } & 100 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\\text { Gamma } & 18 & 48 & 14 & 20\end{array}$
Table 12.1: Minutes Spent in Cell Cycle Phases

• A)gamma contains more DNA than beta.
• B)beta and gamma contain the same amount of DNA.
• C)beta contains more RNA than gamma.
• D)gamma contains 48 times more DNA and RNA than beta.
• E)beta is a plant cell and gamma is an animal cell.

Definitions:

Hyperthermia

A condition characterized by an abnormally high body temperature, often resulting from exposure to excessive heat or an inability to regulate body temperature.

Heat Loss

The transfer of body heat to the environment, reducing the body's temperature through various mechanisms, such as radiation, convection, and evaporation.

Heat Production

The process by which the body generates warmth through metabolic activities, essential for maintaining body temperature.

Diastolic Pressure

The lower number in a blood pressure reading, representing the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.
