Answer the following question given this paragraph: Complexing agents that tie up metal ions are also used as drugs. British Anti-Lewisite (BAL), HSCH2CH(SH)CH2OH, is a drug developed during World War I as an antidote for the arsenic-based war gas Lewisite. BAL is now used to treat poisoning by heavy metals, such as arsenic, mercury, thallium, and chromium. The drug is a ligand and functions by making a water-soluble chelate of the metal; the kidneys eliminate this metal chelate (Figure 19.31). Another polydentate ligand, enterobactin, which is isolated from certain bacteria, is used to form complexes of iron and thereby to control the severe iron buildup found in patients suffering from blood diseases such as Cooley's anemia, who require frequent transfusions. As the transfused blood breaks down, the usual metabolic processes that remove iron are overloaded, and excess iron can build up to fatal levels. Enterobactin forms a watersoluble complex with excess iron, and the body can safely eliminate this complex. Q: How does consuming enterobactin help our body? Choices: - builds excess iron - eliminates excess fat - eliminates excess oxygen - eliminates excess iron A:
eliminates excess iron
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Pedocal is the soil common in grasslands. The more arid climate increases calcium in the soil. Pedocal is not as fertile. Q: Where is pedocal soil commonly found? Choices: - deserts - forests - slopes - grasslands A:
grasslands
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Heat capacity is the amount of internal energy that the substance can store. A large heat capacitance means the substance can store a lot of internal energy and thus the temperature changes slowly. Aluminum foil has a small heat capacitance and water has a large one. Q: What is the term for the amount of internal energy that the substance can store? Choices: - mass capacity - temperature capacity - humidity capacity - heat capacity A:
A: heat capacity
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Most human traits have more complex modes of inheritance than simple Mendelian inheritance. For example, the traits may be controlled by multiple alleles or multiple genes. Q: What type of simple inheritance is too simplified to explain most human traits? Choices: - mitosis - spontaneous mutation - etiology - mendelian A:
Answer: mendelian

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Making Connections: Cosmology and Particle Physics There are many connections of cosmologyby definition involving physics on the largest scalewith particle physicsby definition physics on the smallest scale. Among these are the dominance of matter over antimatter, the nearly perfect uniformity of the cosmic microwave background, and the mere existence of galaxies. Matter versus antimatter We know from direct observation that antimatter is rare. The Earth and the solar system are nearly pure matter. Space probes and cosmic rays give direct evidencethe landing of the Viking probes on Mars would have been spectacular explosions of mutual annihilation energy if Mars were antimatter. We also know that most of the universe is dominated by matter. This is proven by the lack of annihilation radiation coming to us from space, particularly the relative absence of 0.511-MeV rays created by the mutual annihilation of electrons and positrons. It seemed possible that there could be entire solar systems or galaxies made of antimatter in perfect symmetry with our matter-dominated systems. But the interactions between stars and galaxies would sometimes bring matter and antimatter together in large amounts. The annihilation + radiation they would produce is simply not observed. Antimatter in nature is created in particle collisions and in decays, but only in small amounts that quickly annihilate, leaving almost pure matter surviving. Particle physics seems symmetric in matter and antimatter. Why isn't the cosmos? The answer is that particle physics is not quite perfectly symmetric in this regard. The decay of one of the neutral K -mesons, for example, preferentially creates more matter than antimatter. This is caused by a fundamental small asymmetry in the basic forces. This small asymmetry produced slightly. Q: The lack of annihilation radiation coming to us from space proves that the universe is dominated by what? Choices: - vacuum - energy - space - matter A:
**Answer**
matter
