Q: What causes continents to drift closer to the poles or the equator? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Plate movements cause continents to drift closer to the poles or the equator. Ocean currents also shift when continents drift. All these changes can affect Earth's temperature. Choices: - time - plate tectonics - earthquakes - plate movements A:
plate movements

Q: Where does the natural synthesis of lactose occur? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Lactose Lactose is known as milk sugar because it occurs in the milk of humans, cows, and other mammals. In fact, the natural synthesis of lactose occurs only in mammary tissue, whereas most other carbohydrates are plant products. Human milk contains about 7.5% lactose, and cow's milk contains about 4.5%. This sugar is one of the lowest ranking in terms of sweetness, being about one-sixth as sweet as sucrose (seeTable 16.1 "The Relative Sweetness of Some Compounds (Sucrose = 100)" in Section 16.3 "Important Hexoses"). Lactose is produced commercially from whey, a by-product in the manufacture of cheese. It is important as an infant food and in the production of penicillin. Lactose is a reducing sugar composed of one molecule of D-galactose and one molecule of D-glucose joined by a -1,4-glycosidic bond (the bond from the anomeric carbon of the first monosaccharide unit being directed upward). The two monosaccharides are obtained from lactose by acid hydrolysis or the catalytic action of the enzyme lactase:. Choices: - ovarian tissue - nervous tissue - liver tissue - mammary tissue A:
mammary tissue

Q: Q: The explosion of nitroglycerin, which releases large volumes of gases, is what type of reaction? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The explosion of nitroglycerin releases large volumes of gases and is very exothermic. Choices: - energetic - exponential - endothermic - exothermic A:
A: exothermic

Question: Q: What type of seed-bearing structure of a flowering plant usually develop into? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Development of Fruit and Fruit Types After fertilization, the ovary of the flower usually develops into the fruit. Fruits are usually associated with having a sweet taste; however, not all fruits are sweet. Botanically, the term "fruit" is used for a ripened ovary. In most cases, flowers in which fertilization has taken place will develop into fruits, and flowers in which fertilization has not taken place will not. Some fruits develop from the ovary and are known as true fruits, whereas others develop from other parts of the female gametophyte and are known as accessory fruits. The fruit encloses the seeds and the developing embryo, thereby providing it with protection. Fruits are of many types, depending on their origin and texture. The sweet tissue of the blackberry, the red flesh of the tomato, the shell of the peanut, and the hull of corn (the tough, thin part that gets stuck in your teeth when you eat popcorn) are all fruits. As the fruit matures, the seeds also mature. Choices: - Stem - food - Apple - fruit A:
Answer: fruit

Q: What scientist created the modern system for classifying organisms? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Linnaeus published his classification system in the 1700s. Since then, many new species have been discovered. The biochemistry of many organisms has also become known. Eventually, scientists realized that Linnaeus's system of classification needed revision. Choices: - Bohr - Newton - Pasteur - linnaeus A:
**Answer**
linnaeus
