OpenIntro Statistics 3
Family size. Suppose we want to estimate household size, where a household is defined as people living together in the same dwelling, and sharing living accommodations. If we select students at random at an elementary school and ask them what their family size is, will this be a good measure of house

Campbell Biology in Focus - Standalone book 1
Herbivory (plant eating) has evolved repeatedly in insects, typically from meat-eating or detritus-feeding ancestors (detritus is dead organic matter). Moths and butterflies, for example, eat plants, whereas their sister group (the insect group to which they are most closely related), the caddisflies

Principles of Biology 2
1. Which is false? a. Graded potentials may die out or trigger an action potential. b. Action potentials arise at the axon hillock and move toward the axon terminals. c. The diameter of an unmyelinated axon is directly related to the speed at which action potentials travel along its length. d. Saltat
