Answer the following question given this paragraph: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in females. It occurs when cells in the breast grow out of control and form a tumor. Breast cancer is rare in teens but becomes more common as females get older. Regular screening is recommended for most women starting around age 40. If found early, breast cancer usually can be cured with surgery. Q: What disease occurs when cells in the breast grow out of control and form a tumor? Choices: - adult breast growth - muscle cancer - muscular cyst - breast cancer A:
breast cancer
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Bathymetric maps are made from depth soundings or sonar data. They help oceanographers understand the shape of bottoms of lakes, bays, and the ocean. This information also helps boaters navigate safely. Q: Besides depth soundings, what else are bathymetric maps made of? Choices: - intensity data - solar data - density measures - sonar data A:
sonar data
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Hypersensitivities Maladaptive immune responses toward harmless foreign substances or self antigens that occur after tissue sensitization are termed hypersensitivities. The types of hypersensitivities include immediate, delayed, and autoimmunity. A large proportion of the population is affected by one or more types of hypersensitivity. Allergies The immune reaction that results from immediate hypersensitivities in which an antibody-mediated immune response occurs within minutes of exposure to a harmless antigen is called an allergy. In the United States, 20 percent of the population exhibits symptoms of allergy or asthma, whereas 55 percent test positive against one or more allergens. Upon initial exposure to a potential allergen, an allergic individual synthesizes antibodies of the IgE class via the typical process of APCs presenting processed antigen to TH cells that stimulate B cells to produce IgE. This class of antibodies also mediates the immune response to parasitic worms. The constant domain of the IgE molecules interact with mast cells embedded in connective tissues. This process primes, or sensitizes, the tissue. Upon subsequent exposure to the same allergen, IgE molecules on mast cells bind the antigen via their variable domains and stimulate the mast cell to release the modified amino acids histamine and serotonin; these chemical mediators then recruit eosinophils which mediate allergic responses. Figure 42.26 shows an example of an allergic response to ragweed pollen. The effects of an allergic reaction range from mild. Q: Hypersensitivity may refer to a maladaptive response of what system toward a harmless foreign substance? Choices: - oxygen - brain - System - immune A:
A: immune

Choices: - natural biome - wet biome - organic biome - freshwater biome A:

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Earth, Moon and Sun are linked together in space. Monthly or daily cycles continually remind us of these links. Every month, you can see the Moon change. This is due to where it is relative to the Sun and Earth. In one phase, the Moon is brightly illuminated - a full moon. In the opposite phase it is completely dark - a new moon. In between, it is partially lit up. When the Moon is in just the right position, it causes an eclipse. The daily tides are another reminder of the Moon and Sun. They are caused by the pull of the Moon and the Sun on the Earth. Tides were discussed in the Oceans chapter. Q: In what phase is the moon brightly illuminated? Choices: - crescent - new moon - blue moon - full moon A:
full moon
