Answer the following question given this paragraph: Each species has a characteristic number of chromosomes. Chromosomes are coiled structures made of DNA and proteins called histones ( Figure below ). Chromosomes are the form of the genetic material of a cell during cell division. See the "Chromosomes" section for additional information. Q: Each species has a characteristic number of what coiled structures made of dna and proteins? Choices: - genes - ribosomes - prokaryotes - chromosomes A:
chromosomes
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other species is not affected. One species typically uses the other for a purpose other than food. For example, mites attach themselves to larger flying insects to get a "free ride. " Hermit crabs use the shells of dead snails for homes. Q: What is the name of the symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other species is not affected? Choices: - pollenation - differentiation - mutualism - commensalism A:
commensalism
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Chapter 30 1 Figure 30.7 A and B. The cortex, pith, and epidermis are made of parenchyma cells. 3 Figure 30.34 B. 4 C 6 C 8 A 10 B 12 A 14 B 16 C 18 B 20 D 22 C 24 C 26 C 27 Lawn grasses and other monocots have an intercalary meristem, which is a region of meristematic tissue at the base of the leaf blade. This is beneficial to the plant because it can continue to grow even when the tip of the plant is removed by grazing or mowing. 29 Stomata allow gases to enter and exit the plant. Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata. If these cells did not function correctly, a plant could not get the carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis, nor could it release the oxygen produced by photosynthesis. 31 In woody plants, the cork cambium is the outermost lateral meristem; it produces new cells towards the interior, which enables the plant to increase in girth. The cork cambium also produces cork cells towards the exterior, which protect the plant from physical damage while reducing water loss. 33 Annual rings can also indicate the climate conditions that prevailed during each growing season. 35 A tap root system. Q: Regulated by guard cells, stomata allow what to enter and exit the plant? Choices: - molecules - fluid - nutrients - gases A:
A: gases
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In order to study these characteristics, Mendel needed to control the pollination of the pea plants through artificial fertilization . Pollination occurs when the pollen from the male reproductive part of a flower, called the anthers , is transferred to the female reproductive part of a flower, called the stigma . Pea plants are self-pollinating , which means the pollen from a flower on a single plant transfers to the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant. In order to avoid self-pollination, Mendel removed the anthers from the flowers on a plant. He then carefully transferred pollen from the anthers of another plant and using a small paintbrush, dusted the pollen onto the stigma of the flowers that lacked anthers. This process caused cross-pollination. The Figure below shows the location of the male and female parts of a flower. Cross-pollination occurs when pollen from one flower pollinates a flower on a different plant. In this way, Mendel controlled the characteristics that were passed onto the offspring. The product of cross-pollination is known as a hybrid. The ability to cross-pollinate pea plants allowed Mendel to study the offspring of two parents with different traits, such as a tall stem or a short stem. Q: The process of transferring pollen from the male reproductive part of a flower known as the anthers to the female reproductive part of the flower known as the stigma is referred to as what? Choices: - inoculation - fertilization - reproduction - pollination A:
Answer: pollination
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Heat involves the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies that are at different temperatures. If you held a flask containing a reaction that releases energy, you would be able to feel the heat being transferred from the reaction into your hand. A process in which heat is released is referred to as exothermic . Conversely, reactions that absorb energy will remove energy from the surroundings, causing the container to feel cold. For example, dissolving ammonium nitrate in water will significantly lower the water temperature. Processes that absorb energy from their surroundings are called endothermic . Q: The process when heat is released is referred to as what? Choices: - geothermal - endothermic - insular - exothermic A:
**Answer**
exothermic
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Salamanders can breathe with the help of gills, lungs, or their skin surface. Q: What organ breaks down excess amino acids and toxins in the blood? Choices: - kidney - heart - lungs - liver A:
liver
