Answer the following question given this paragraph: Like amphibians, reptiles are ectotherms with a slow metabolic rate. Their metabolism doesn't generate enough energy to keep their body temperature stable. Instead, reptiles regulate their body temperature through their behavior. For example, the crocodile in Figure below is soaking up heat from the environment by basking in the sun. Because of their ectothermy, reptiles can get by with as little as one tenth the food needed by endotherms such as mammals. Some species of reptiles can go several weeks between meals. Q: A reptile's what doesn't generate enough energy to keep their body temperature stable? Choices: - respiration - tissue - skin - metabolism A:
metabolism
Answer the following question given this paragraph: In the oceans, plates move apart at mid-ocean ridges. Lava rises upward, erupts, and cools. Later, more lava erupts and pushes the original seafloor outward. This is seafloor spreading. Seafloor spreading forms new oceanic crust. The rising magma causes the ridge to be buoyant. This is why there is a mountain range running through the oceans. The plates pulling apart cause earthquakes. Q: What forms in the ocean from the seafloor spreading? Choices: - underwater volcanoes - tsunamis - earthquakes - new oceanic crust A:
new oceanic crust
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Dermal tissue covers the outside of a plant in a single layer of cells called the epidermis . You can think of the epidermis as the plant's skin. It mediates most of the interactions between a plant and its environment. Epidermal cells secrete a waxy substance called cuticle , which coats, waterproofs, and protects the above-ground parts of plants. Cuticle helps prevent water loss, abrasions, infections, and damage from toxins. Q: Dermal tissue covers the outside of a plant in a single layer of cells called what? Choices: - cambium layer - scales - cuticle - the epidermis A:
A: the epidermis
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Similarly, monoprotic bases are bases that will accept a single proton. Diprotic acids contain two ionizable hydrogen atoms per molecule; ionization of such acids occurs in two steps. The first ionization always takes place to a greater extent than the second ionization. For example, sulfuric acid, a strong acid, ionizes as follows: K a1 = more than 10 2 ; complete dissociation. Q: What is the basic characteristic of monoprotic bases? Choices: - accepts one neutron - accepts no neutrons - accepts no protons - accepts one proton A:
Answer: accepts one proton

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Intraspecific competition occurs between members of the same species. For example, two male birds of the same species might compete for mates in the same area. This type of competition is a basic factor in natural selection. It leads to the evolution of better adaptations within a species. Q: Competition between members of the same species is known as? Choices: - interspecies competition - egregious competition - nuchal competition - intraspecific competition A:
**Answer**
intraspecific competition

Answer the following question given this paragraph: An electric circuit consists of one or two closed loops through which current can flow. It has a voltage source and a conductor and may have other devices such as lights and switches. Q: What consists of one or two closed loops through which current can flow? Choices: - thermal reaction - magnetic poles - cooling circuit - electric circuit A:
(Answer)
electric circuit
