Answer the following question given this paragraph: The amount of material left over after a certain number of half-lives can be easily calculated. Q: What term is used to describe a chemical released by an animal that affects the behavior or physiology of animals of the same species? Choices: - enzyme - isolate - amino - pheromone A:
pheromone
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The majority of the human genome is non-coding sequence. These sequences include regulatory sequences, and DNA with unknown functions. These sequences include tandem repeat elements known as satellite DNA , and transposons. Satellite DNA consists of very large arrays of tandemly repeating, non-coding DNA. The repeating units can be just a single base (a mono nucleotide repeat), two bases (a dinucleotide repeat), three bases (a trinucleotide repeat) or a much larger repeating unit. Some repeating units are several thousand base pairs long, and the total size of a satellite DNA segment can be several megabases without interruption. Q: What is the term for very large arrays of tandemly repeating, non-coding dna? Choices: - recombinant dna - models dna - addition dna - satellite dna A:
satellite dna
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Muscles can only contract. They cannot actively extend, though they can move or relax back into the non-contracted neutral position. Therefore, to move bones in opposite directions, pairs of muscles must work in opposition. Each muscle in the pair works against the other to move bones at the joints of the body. The muscle that contracts to cause a joint to bend is called the flexor . The muscle that contracts to cause the joint to straighten is called the extensor . When one muscle is contracted, the other muscle from the pair is always elongated. Q: What is the name of the muscle that contracts to cause the joint to straighten? Choices: - flexor - abductor - opposing - extensor A:
A: extensor
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cancer treatments vary depending on the disease's type and stage. Traditional approaches, including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy, aim to remove or kill rapidly dividing cancer cells, but these strategies have their limitations. Depending on a tumor's location, for example, cancer surgeons may be unable to remove it. Radiation and chemotherapy are difficult, and it is often impossible to target only the cancer cells. The treatments inevitably destroy healthy tissue as well. To address this, researchers are working on pharmaceuticals that can target specific proteins implicated in cancer-associated molecular pathways. Q: Depending on a tumor's location, for example, cancer surgeons may be unable to remove it. radiation and chemotherapy are difficult, and it is often impossible to target only the cancer cells. the treatments inevitably destroy this? Choices: - carcinogens - fertility - host cells - healthy cells A:
Answer: healthy cells
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Aerobic respiration begins with the entry of the product of glycolysis, pyruvate, into the mitochondria. For each initial glucose molecules, two pyruvate molecules will enter the mitochondria. Pyruvate, however, is not the molecule that enters the Krebs cycle. Prior to entry into this cycle, pyruvate must be converted into a 2-carbon acetyl-CoenzymeA (acetyl-CoA) unit. The conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA is referred to as the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction. It is catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. This process produces one NADH electron carrier while releasing a CO 2 molecule. This step is also known as the link reaction or transition step, as it links glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. Of course, as two pyruvates result from glycolysis, two acetyl-CoAs are produced as are 2 NADH molecules. Q: For each initial glucose molecules, two pyruvate molecules will enter where? Choices: - the plasma - the nucleus - Golgi apparatus - the mitochondria A:
**Answer**
the mitochondria
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The densities of many components and products of the body have a bearing on our health. Bones. Bone density is important because bone tissue of lower-than-normal density is mechanically weaker and susceptible to breaking. The density of bone is, in part, related to the amount of calcium in one's diet; people who have a diet deficient in calcium, which is an important component of bones, tend to have weaker bones. Dietary supplements or adding dairy products to the diet seems to help strengthen bones. As a group, women experience a decrease in bone density as they age. It has been estimated that fully half of women over age 50 suffer from excessive bone loss, a condition known as osteoporosis. Exact bone densities vary within the body, but for a healthy 30-year-old female, it is about 0.951.05 g/cm3. Osteoporosis is diagnosed if the bone density is below 0.60.7 g/cm3. Urine. The density of urine can be affected by a variety of medical conditions. Sufferers of diabetes insipidus produce an abnormally large volume of urine with a relatively low density. In another form of diabetes, called diabetes mellitus, there is excess glucose dissolved in the urine, so that the density of urine is abnormally high. The density of urine may also be abnormally high because of excess protein in the urine, which can be caused by congestive heart failure or certain renal (kidney) problems. Thus, a urine density test can provide clues to various kinds of health problems. The density of urine is commonly expressed as a specific gravity, which is a unitless quantity defined as. Q: The density of bone is, in part, related to the amount of what mineral in one's diet? Choices: - potassium - barium - nitrogen - calcium A:
A: calcium
