53. A small island has stable populations of plants and animals, including one species of hawk as the only predator. A ship docks at the island, and the ship's cat has recently had a litter of kittens. One of the young cats accidentally goes ashore in a small boat, jumps to land and runs into the brush. No one notices, and they leave the cat on the island. What do you think is a likely consequence of the cat's presence on the island? (A) The insect populations will decline. (B) The fish in the lagoon will decrease due to predation. (C) It's only one cat and will make no difference to the island. (D) Some species of ground-nesting birds may go extinct within a few years. (E) The increase in nitrogenous waste from the cat will increase the size of many plants.

55. Which statement about hyperpolarization of a neuron is true? When hyperpolarization occurs, (A) membrane potential is more negative than during resting potential. (B) membrane potential is closer to Na+ equilibrium potential (ENa) than it is to EK. (C) Na+ and/or Cl− channels are open. (D) if it occurs in a downstream neuron, exciting postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) are more likely to be generated than are inhibitory PSPs (IPSPs). (E) generation of action potentials is likely to occur.

複選題56. Which of the statement about digestion system in animals is correct? (A) Stomach acid activates pepsinogen into pepsin.

(D) A fatty acid absorbed into an intestinal cell becomes part of a chylomicron. (E) Glucagon, the pancreatic hormone, functions to stimulate the liver to release glucose. .

【已刪除】57. For the reproduction of flowering plants, double fertilization: (A) is characteristic of all plants. (B) produces a triploid sporophyte and a diploid endosperm.
