This kind of isolation is most similar to which of the following reproductive isolating mechanisms? (A) Reduced hybrid fertility (B) Hybrid breakdown (C) Mechanical isolation (D) Habitat isolation (E) Gametic isolation

57. Photosynthesis ceases when leaves wilt, mainly because___________. (A) the chlorophyll of wilting leaves breaks down (B) flaccid mesophylI cells are incapable of photosynthesis (C) stomata close, preventing CO2 from entering the leaf (D) photolysis. the water-splitting step of photosynthesis, cannot occur when there is a water deficiency (E) accumulation of CO2in the leaf inhibits enzymes

59. In the communication link between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle, which of the following descriptions is right? (A) The motor neuron is considered the presynaptic cell and the skeletal muscle is the postsynaptic cell. (B) The motor neuron is considered the postsynaptic cell and the skeletal muscle is the presynaptic cell. (C) Action potentials are possible on the motor neuron but not the skeletal muscle. (D) Action potentials are possible on the skeletal muscle but not the motor neuron. (E) The motor neuron fires action potentials but the skeletal muscle is not electrochemically excitable,

60. In nerves, vesicles can move the length of an axon at a rate that far exceeds that which would be predicted for simple diffusion. Which of the following models best explains vesicular movement in these cells? (A) Depolymerization of actin microfilaments attached to vesicles pulls the vesicles toward the site of depolymerization. (B) Vesicles are propelled by fluid movement generated by changes in osmotic potential within the cells. (C) Vesicles are moved by alternate contraction and relaxation of actin-myosin "muscle" complexes. (D) Vesicles, by virtue of their net negative charge, are attracted to positively charged regions of the cell. (E) Vesicles are attached to the protein kinesin, which slides along microtubules by an ATP dependent process.
