Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 8.2 Photoautotrophs including (a) plants, (b) algae, and (c) cyanobacteria synthesize their organic compounds via photosynthesis using sunlight as an energy source. Cyanobacteria and planktonic algae can grow over enormous areas in water, at times completely covering the surface. In a (d) deep sea vent, chemoautotrophs, such as these (e) thermophilic bacteria, capture energy from inorganic compounds to produce organic compounds. The ecosystem surrounding the vents has a diverse array of animals, such as tubeworms, crustaceans, and octopi that derive energy from the bacteria.

Q: Photoautotrophs including (a) plants, (b) algae, and (c) cyanobacteria synthesize their organic compounds via photosynthesis using sunlight as this? Choices: - light source4 - heating source - fuel source - energy source A:
energy source
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Law of Refraction Figure 25.12 shows how a ray of light changes direction when it passes from one medium to another. As before, the angles are measured relative to a perpendicular to the surface at the point where the light ray crosses it. (Some of the incident light will be reflected from the surface, but for now we will concentrate on the light that is transmitted. ) The change in direction of the light ray depends on how the speed of light changes. The change in the speed of light is related to the indices of refraction of the media involved. In the situations shown in Figure 25.12, medium 2 has a greater index of refraction than medium 1. This means that the speed of light is less in medium 2 than in medium 1. Note that as shown in Figure 25.12(a), the direction of the ray moves closer to the perpendicular when it slows down. Conversely, as shown in Figure 25.12(b), the direction of the ray moves away from the perpendicular when it speeds up. The path is exactly reversible. In both cases, you can imagine what happens by thinking about pushing a lawn mower from a footpath onto grass, and vice versa. Going from the footpath to grass, the front wheels are slowed and pulled to the side as shown. This is the same change in direction as for light when it goes from a fast medium to a slow one. When going from the grass to the footpath, the front wheels can move faster and the mower changes direction as shown. This, too, is the same change in direction as for light going from slow to fast. Q: What law explains how the change in direction of the light ray depends on how the speed of light changes, which in turn is related to the indices of refraction of the media involved? Choices: - Boyle's law - Born's law - Newton's first law - law of refraction A:
law of refraction
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Examples of acceleration include a person riding a carousel and a skydiver in free fall. Q: What are these examples of: a person riding a carousel and a skydiver in free fall? Choices: - vibration - centrifugal force - centripetal force - acceleration A:
A: acceleration
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: that extends the 3' end, so a primer is synthesized and extended. Thus, the ends are protected. 16 The cell controls which protein is expressed, and to what level that protein is expressed, in the cell. Prokaryotic cells alter the transcription rate to turn genes on or off. This method will increase or decrease protein levels in response to what is needed by the cell. Eukaryotic cells change the accessibility (epigenetic), transcription, or translation of a gene. This will alter the amount of RNA, and the lifespan of the RNA, to alter the amount of protein that exists. Eukaryotic cells also change the protein's translation to increase or decrease its overall levels. Eukaryotic organisms are much more complex and can manipulate protein levels by changing many stages in the process. Q: Which cells change the accessibility, transcription, or translation of a gene? Choices: - endogenous - prokaryotic - ribosomes - eukaryotic A:
Answer: eukaryotic

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Chromosomes, like those shown here, must form prior to cell division, to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material. Each chromosome is made of two identical sister chromatids. Each chromatid is 1/2 of the "X. " Essentially, each daughter cell receives half of each "X-shaped" chromosome. Q: Each what is made of two identical sister chromatids? Choices: - helix - genome - gene - chromosome A:
**Answer**
chromosome
