Define Boyle's law
A) Boyle's law states that in a mixture of gases, the individual gases exert a pressure proportional to their abundance in the mixture.
B) Boyle's law states that at a given temperature, the amount of a particular gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas, which underlies the diffusion of gases between capillaries and alveoli, and between capillaries and interstitial fluid.
C) Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
D) Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its volume.
E) Boyle's law states that at a given temperature, the amount of a particular gas that dissolves in a liquid is inversely proportional to the partial pressure of that gas, which underlies the diffusion of gases between capillaries and alveoli, and between capillaries and interstitial fluid.

Why do certain cells in the ovaries and testes contain large amounts of SER?
A) The ovaries and testes produce large amounts of gametes and the large cells need SER to produce the phospholipids. B) The ovaries and testes produce large amounts of steroid hormones which are lipid based. C) The ovaries and testes produce large amounts of proteins from the ribosomes. D) The ovaries and testes have excess toxic waste production so large amounts of SER are used for detoxification. E) The ovaries and testes store large amounts of triglycerides.
