The weights for newborn babies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 5 pounds and a standard deviation of 1.9 pounds. Consider a group of 1400 newborn babies: 1. How many would you expect to weigh between 5 and 9 pounds? 2. How many would you expect to weigh less than 8 pounds? 3. How many would you expect to weigh more than 6 pounds? 4. How many would you expect to weigh between 5 and 10 pounds?

Goldfish are osmoregulators, and rely on their gills to collect ions from ion-poor freshwater. If their transport epithelium of the gill was poisoned with an inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP production, you would expect the animal to swell. True False Osmolarity of body fluids is important to regulate because the membranes of cells are impermeable to solutes and water. True False
