Answer the following question given this paragraph: Specialized structures for reproduction: One example is a fruiting body. Just like a fruit is involved in the reproduction of a fruiting plant, a fruiting body is involved in the reproduction of a fungus. A mushroom is a fruiting body , which is the part of the fungus that produces spores ( Figure below ). The spores are the basic reproductive units of fungi. The mycelium remains hidden until it develops one or more fruiting bodies. Q: Spores are the basic reproductive units of what organism? Choices: - mushrooms - yeast - tropical plants - fungi A:
fungi

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 12.7 Statues made from carbonate compounds such as limestone and marble typically weather slowly over time due to the actions of water, and thermal expansion and contraction. However, pollutants like sulfur dioxide can accelerate weathering. As the concentration of air pollutants increases, deterioration of limestone occurs more rapidly. (credit: James P Fisher III). Q: Deterioration of limestone occurs more rapidly as the concentration of what increases? Choices: - ground pollutants - water pollutants - ocean pollutants - air pollutants A:
(Answer)
air pollutants
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: You don't have to be a musician to know that playing a wind instrument like the trumpet takes a lot of air. Having healthy lungs is necessary to play a trumpet or other wind instrument. The lungs are part of the respiratory system. Q: What is necessary in a person who wishes to play wind instruments? Choices: - strong hands - vocal cords - powerful lips - healthy lungs A:
Ans: healthy lungs
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Rickets is softening of the bones in children that occurs because bones do not have enough calcium. Rickets can lead to fractures and bowing of the leg bones, which is illustrated in the Figure below . Q: Lack of what mineral causes rickets? Choices: - zinc - potassium - magnesium - calcium A:
(A).
calcium
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cervical Vertebrae Typical cervical vertebrae, such as C4 or C5, have several characteristic features that differentiate them from thoracic or lumbar vertebrae (Figure 7.25). Cervical vertebrae have a small body, reflecting the fact that they carry the least amount of body weight. Cervical vertebrae usually have a bifid (Y-shaped) spinous process. The spinous processes of the C3C6 vertebrae are short, but the spine of C7 is much longer. You can find these vertebrae by running your finger down the midline of the posterior neck until you encounter the prominent C7 spine located at the base of the neck. The transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae are sharply curved (U-shaped) to allow for passage of the cervical spinal nerves. Each transverse process also has an opening called the transverse foramen. An important artery that supplies the brain ascends up the neck by passing through these openings. The superior and inferior articular processes of the cervical vertebrae are flattened and largely face upward or downward, respectively. The first and second cervical vertebrae are further modified, giving each a distinctive appearance. The first cervical (C1) vertebra is also called the atlas, because this is the vertebra that supports the skull on top of the vertebral column (in Greek mythology, Atlas was the god who supported the heavens on his shoulders). The C1 vertebra does not have a body or spinous process. Instead, it is ring-shaped, consisting of an anterior arch and a posterior arch. The transverse processes of the atlas are longer and extend more laterally than do the transverse processes of any other cervical vertebrae. The superior articular processes face upward and are deeply curved for articulation with the occipital condyles on the base of the skull. The inferior articular processes are flat and face downward to join with the superior articular processes of the C2 vertebra. The second cervical (C2) vertebra is called the axis, because it serves as the axis for rotation when turning the head... Q: Compared to thoracic and lumbar types, the cervical type of what structures carry the least amount of body weight? Choices: - nasal - nuclei - ametic - vertebrae A:

Ans:vertebrae
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Echo sounders were used to search for enemy submarines during World War II. The depths they recorded allowed scientists to piece together bathymetric maps of the seafloor. Multi-beam sounders work on research vessels today. Q: What do waves deposit in relatively quiet areas along a shore? Choices: - fish - mud - snow - sand A:
sand
