Answer the following question given this paragraph: 25.10 The Urinary System and Homeostasis The effects of failure of parts of the urinary system may range from inconvenient (incontinence) to fatal (loss of filtration and many others). The kidneys catalyze the final reaction in the synthesis of active vitamin D that in turn helps regulate Ca++. The kidney hormone EPO stimulates erythrocyte development and promotes adequate O2 transport. The kidneys help regulate blood pressure through Na+ and water retention and loss. The kidneys work with the adrenal cortex, lungs, and liver in the reninangiotensinaldosterone system to regulate blood pressure. They regulate osmolarity of the blood by regulating both solutes and water. Three electrolytes are more closely regulated than others: Na+, Ca++, and K+. The kidneys share pH regulation with the lungs and plasma buffers, so that proteins can preserve their three-dimensional conformation and thus their function. Q: What paired organs help regulate blood pressure through sodium ion and water retention and loss? Choices: - lungs - tissues - lymph nodes - kidneys A:
kidneys
Answer the following question given this paragraph: There are multiple ways to prevent these situations from occurring. The three most common protective devices are fuses, circuit breakers, and surge protectors. Q: What are the three most common protective devices? Choices: - fuses , circuit breaks & surge claws - tranistors, resistors & diodes - fuses , fabrication breaks & surge protectors - fuses, circuit breaks & surge protectors A:
fuses, circuit breaks & surge protectors
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 27.5 Single Slit Diffraction Light passing through a single slit forms a diffraction pattern somewhat different from those formed by double slits or diffraction gratings. Figure 27.21 shows a single slit diffraction pattern. Note that the central maximum is larger than those on either side, and that the intensity decreases rapidly on either side. In contrast, a diffraction grating produces evenly spaced lines that dim slowly on either side of center. Q: What kind of lines does a diffraction grating produce? Choices: - nearly spaced lines - properly spaced lines - randomly spaced lines - evenly spaced lines A:
A: evenly spaced lines
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In measuring quantities we always aim for high accuracy . Estimates that fall within the range of uncertainty for a given instrument are said to be accurate. In our previous example, all of the values between and including 52.4 mL and 53.4 mL would be considered accurate. Estimates that fall outside this range are inaccurate. Accuracy describes how close an estimate is to a known standard. Q: What describes how close an estimate is to a known standard? Choices: - hypothesis - frequency - diversity - accuracy A:
Answer: accuracy

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The supertree also shows that another major diversification of mammals occurred about 50 million years ago. Again, worldwide climate change may have been one reason. This time Earth's temperature rose. The warmer temperature led to a greater diversity of plants. This would have meant more food for mammals or their prey. Q: A major diversification of what animal group occurred about 50 million years ago, possibly spurred by worldwide climate change? Choices: - reptiles - amphibians - insects - mammals A:
**Answer**
mammals

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The human brain is an amazing organ. It is the most complex organ in the human body. By adulthood, the brain weighs about 3 pounds and consists of billions of neurons. All those cells need a lot of energy. In fact, the adult brain uses almost a quarter of the total energy used by the body!. Q: What is the most complex organ in the human body? Choices: - heart - liver - muscular - brain A:
**Answer**
brain
