Q: What is the name for a heterotroph that eats only or mainly animal foods? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Some mammals are carnivores. Carnivores are heterotrophs that eat only or mainly animal foods. Depending on their species, carnivorous mammals may eat other mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, mollusks, worms, and/or insects. Mammals that are carnivores include anteaters, whales, hyenas, wolves, and seals. The bat in Figure below is also a carnivorous mammal. It eats insects. Carnivores that eat mainly insects are classified as insectivores. Choices: - macrophage - omnivore - herbivore - carnivore A:
carnivore

Q: Observations suggest that a force applied to an object is always applied by what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Where do forces come from? Observations suggest that a force applied to an object is always applied by another object. A hammer strikes a nail, a car pulls a trailer, and a person pushes a grocery cart. Newton realized that forces are not so one-sided. When the hammer exerts a force on the nail, the nail also exerts a force on the hammerafter all, the hammer comes to rest after the interaction. This led to Newton's Third Law of Motion , which states that whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object also exerts a force on the first object, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Choices: - itself - gravity - dark matter - another object A:
another object

Q: Q: What system of the body is responsible for producing hormones? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The blood also carries hormones, which are chemical messenger molecules produced by organs of the endocrine system, through your body. Hormones are produced in one area of your body and have an effect on another area. To get to that other area, they must travel through your blood. An example is the hormone adrenaline, produced by the adrenal glands on top of the kidneys. Adrenaline has multiple effects on the heart (it quickens the heart rate), on muscles and on the airway. Choices: - nervous system - regulatory system - homeostasis system - endocrine system A:
A: endocrine system

Question: Q: What is the term for disease-causing agents, such as bacteria and viruses? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The body's first line of defense consists of different types of barriers that keep most pathogens out of the body. Pathogens are disease-causing agents, such as bacteria and viruses. These and other types of pathogens are described in Figure below . Regardless of the type of pathogen, however, the first line of defense is always the same. Choices: - spores - parasites - vaccines - pathogens A:
Answer: pathogens

Q: What kind of joints are capable of a wide range of movements, classified as gliding, angular, rotational, or special? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Movement at Synovial Joints The wide range of movement allowed by synovial joints produces different types of movements. The movement of synovial joints can be classified as one of four different types: gliding, angular, rotational, or special movement. Gliding Movement Gliding movements occur as relatively flat bone surfaces move past each other. Gliding movements produce very little rotation or angular movement of the bones. The joints of the carpal and tarsal bones are examples of joints that produce gliding movements. Angular Movement Angular movements are produced when the angle between the bones of a joint changes. There are several different types of angular movements, including flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction. Flexion, or bending, occurs when the angle between the bones decreases. Moving the forearm upward at the elbow or moving the wrist to move the hand toward the forearm are examples of flexion. Extension is the opposite of flexion in that the angle between the bones of a joint increases. Straightening a limb after flexion is an example of extension. Extension past the regular anatomical position is referred to as hyperextension. This includes moving the neck back to look upward, or bending the wrist so that the hand moves away from the forearm. Abduction occurs when a bone moves away from the midline of the body. Examples of abduction are moving the arms or legs laterally to lift them straight out to the side. Adduction is the movement of a bone toward the midline of the body. Movement of the limbs inward after abduction is an example of adduction. Circumduction is the movement of a limb in a circular motion, as in moving the arm in a circular motion. Choices: - glandular - locking - fibrous - synovial A:
**Answer**
synovial

Q: What is the clear, curved structure that works with the cornea to help focus light at the back of the eye? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: After passing into the eye through the pupil, light passes through the lens. The lens of the eye is a clear, curved structure. Along with the cornea, the lens helps focus light at the back of the eye. This is pictured below ( Figure below ). Choices: - pupil - retina - iris - lens A:
lens
