ANSWER: When a formula contains multiple operators, Excel uses standard algebraic rules to determine

Next, exponential calculations are performed, then multiplication and division calculations,
and finally addition and subtraction calculations. If there are multiple calculations within the
parentheses, they are performed according to this same order.

You have a spreadsheet containing the sales figures for every sale that has taken place in your organization. The
spreadsheet includes the sales person’s name, the customer’s name, the date of the sale, the amount of the sale, as well as
the highest and lowest priced items from the sale.
63. How can you change the color of the cells that contain values under one dollar in the lowest priced column?
ANSWER: This type of formatting is called conditional formatting. To apply conditional formatting,
highlight the column containing the lowest cost item from each sale. Click the Conditional
Formatting button in the Styles group, point to Highlight Cells Rules, then click Less Than.
Enter 1.00 in the Less Than dialog box, then choose a color format in the dialog box. Click

(b) Spines.—The spines vary more than any other part of the
skeleton. They may be close set and small, or few and large, and
often bear spines of the second order, or spinelets, attached to them.
In Asterias and its allies they are comparatively short, blunt
tubercles, covered with thick skin. In the Echinasteridae and
Asterinidae they are short and blunt, but they are very numerous and
thick set. In the Solasteridae they are long, and arranged in bundles
diverging from a common base. Such bundles may be termed
sheaves, and starting from an arrangement like this, two distinct
lines of modification may be traced. Thus (1) the members of a sheaf
become connected by a web of skin, so that the sheaf becomes an
umbrella, and successive umbrellas may adhere, so that a supra-
dorsal tent is formed (a structure characteristic of the Pterasteridae),
or (2) the members of a sheaf may become arranged in a circle
round a central vertical axis so that a structure like a capstan is
produced, which is called a "paxilla" (characteristic of
Astropectinidae, Porcellanasteridae, and Archasteridae). The axis,
[453] as shown by its development, represents the plate which bore
the bundle of spines. Again, the skeleton may consist of plates with a
close covering of granules (Pentagonasteridae, etc.). Lastly, in
Porania spines are absent, the plates being deeply embedded in a
thick leathery skin.
Fig. 194.—Views of portions of the aboral surface of different genera of
Asteroidea in order to show the main varieties of skeleton. A, Solaster,
showing spines arranged in sheaves; B, Pteraster, showing webs forming
supra-dorsal membrane supported by diverging spines; C, Astropecten,
showing paxillae; D, Nardoa, showing uniform plating of granules. × 8.
(After Sladen.)
Order I. Spinulosa.
This is by far the most primitive order of Asteroidea. The tube-feet
are arranged in two rows only, and there is no special means of
protecting the back, other than the small close-set plates bearing
spines, with which it is covered. In some cases, as Asterina, these
spines have a tendency to converge when irritated, and thus act
somewhat like pedicellariae. This circumstance suggests strongly
the manner in which pedicellariae have been developed from small
groups of spines. The order is divided into six families, of which four
have common representatives on the British coast.
This family is the only one of the order which occurs in British
waters, where it is represented by two genera, Astropecten and
Luidia. In Astropecten the inferior marginal plate is in immediate
contact with the adambulacral, whilst in Luidia it is separated from it
by a small intermediate plate.
