Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 23.6 Accessory Organs in Digestion: The Liver, Pancreas, and Gallbladder Chemical digestion in the small intestine cannot occur without the help of the liver and pancreas. The liver produces bile and delivers it to the common hepatic duct. Bile contains bile salts and phospholipids, which emulsify large lipid globules into tiny lipid droplets, a necessary step in lipid digestion and absorption. The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile, releasing it when it is needed by the small intestine. The pancreas produces the enzyme- and bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice and delivers it to the small intestine through ducts. Pancreatic juice buffers the acidic gastric juice in chyme, inactivates pepsin from the stomach, and enables the optimal functioning of digestive enzymes in the small intestine. Q: Chemical digestion in the small intestine cannot occur without the help of the pancreas and what bile-producing organ? Choices: - kidney - heart - stomach - liver A:
A: liver

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Oceanographers use bathymetric maps to show the features of the bottom of a body of water. Q: What kind of map can show the features of the bottom of a body of water? Choices: - topographic - basic - country - bathymetric A:

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The stirrup passes the amplified sound waves to the inner ear through the oval window (see Figure above ). When the oval window vibrates, it causes the cochlea to vibrate as well. The cochlea is a shell-like structure that is full of fluid and lined with nerve cells called hair cells. Each hair cell has tiny hair-like projections, as you can see in Figure below . When the cochlea vibrates, it causes waves in the fluid inside. The waves bend the "hairs" on the hair cells, and this triggers electrical impulses. The electrical impulses travel to the brain through nerves. Only after the nerve impulses reach the brain do we hear the sound. Q: The cochlea is a shell-like structure that is full of fluid and lined with nerve cells called what? Choices: - sperm cells - red cells - brain cells - hair cells A:
A: hair cells

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Water treatment is a series of processes that remove unwanted substances from water. The goal of water treatment is to make the water safe to return to the natural environment or to the human water supply. Treating water for other purposes may not include all the same steps. That's because water used in agriculture or industry may not have to be as clean as drinking water. Q: What is a series of processes that remove unwanted substances from water called? Choices: - water filtration - water dilution - water cleaning - water treatment A:
A: water treatment
