Answer the following question given this paragraph: Studying the ocean floor is difficult because the environment is so hostile. The seafloor can be studied indirectly with tools such as sonar. It can be studied directly using special vehicles. Some vehicles carry scientists and their devices to the ocean floor. Other vehicles are operated remotely. Q: What tool is useful for studying the ocean floor because the environment is remote and underwater? Choices: - microscope - telescope - scale - sonar A:
sonar
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 20.3 Capillary Exchange Small molecules can cross into and out of capillaries via simple or facilitated diffusion. Some large molecules can cross in vesicles or through clefts, fenestrations, or gaps between cells in capillary walls. However, the bulk flow of capillary and tissue fluid occurs via filtration and reabsorption. Filtration, the movement of fluid out of the capillaries, is driven by the CHP. Reabsorption, the influx of tissue fluid into the capillaries, is driven by the BCOP. Filtration predominates in the arterial end of the capillary; in the middle section, the opposing pressures are virtually identical so there is no net exchange,. Q: What is the movement of fluid out of the capillaries called? Choices: - diffusion - absorption - osmosis - filtration A:
A: filtration

(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: We now know how variation in traits is inherited. Variation in traits is controlled by different alleles for genes. Alleles, in turn, are passed to gametes and then to offspring. Evolution occurs because of changes in alleles over time. How long a time? That depends on the time scale of evolution you consider. Q: Evolution occurs because of changes in what over time? Choices: - mitochondria - genomes - atoms - alleles A:
(A).
alleles
