Phones in bin…off or muted…please and thank you!
Termites revealed 
Certain pens have a drying agent that mimics a natural pheromone….
…..Papermates!
The only two trail pheromones identified with certainty are the
unsaturated aliphatic alcohol (3Z,6Z,8E)-3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol and
the diterpene (E,E,E)-neocembrene, which have been found in several
species [1]. These compounds are very active and occur in different,
sometimes unrelated, families. The necessary amount needed for trailfollowing can be as low as 0.01 pg/cm (pg = picogram = 10-12 gram) trail.
To positively be identified as a trail pheromone, a compound must
induce trail-following and be present in the sternal gland of the termites.

Sample Honors Biology test question
In humans, glucose is kept in balance in the
bloodstream by insulin. Which concept does
this best illustrate?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Adaptation
Metabolism
Homeostasis
Organization
Sample AP Biology test question
A human kidney filters about 200 liters of blood each day. Approximately
two liters of liquid and nutrient waste are excreted as urine. The
remaining fluid and dissolved substances are reabsorbed and continue to
circulate throughout the body. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is secreted
in response to reduced plasma volume. ADH targets the collecting ducts
of the kidney, stimulating the insertion of aquaporins into their plasma
membranes and an increased absorption of water.
If ADH secretion is inhibited, which of the following would initially result?
A. The number of aquaporins would increase in response to the
inhibition of ADH.
B. The person would decrease oral water intake to compensate for the
inhibition of ADH.
C. Blood filtration would increase to compensate for the lack of
aquaporins.
D. The person would produce greater amounts of dilute urine.
