Answer the following question given this paragraph: Both mammals and birds evolved endothermy. Endothermy means controlling body temperature within a narrow range from the inside through biochemical or physical means. For example, on a cold day, an endotherm may produce more body heat by increasing its rate of metabolism. On a hot day, it may give off more heat by increasing blood flow to the surface of the body. That way, some of the heat can radiate into the air from the body's surface. Endothermy requires more energy (and food) than ectothermy. However, it allows the animal to stay active regardless of the temperature outside.

Q: What term means controlling body temperature within a narrow range from the inside through biochemical or physical means? Choices: - exothermy - regulation - evaporation - endothermy A:
endothermy

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Group 16 is called the oxygen group. The first three elements in this group are nonmetals. They are followed by one metalloid and one metal. All the elements in the oxygen group have six valence electrons, and all are reactive. Oxygen (O), for example, readily reacts with metals to form compounds such as rust. Oxygen is a gas at room temperature. The other four elements in group 16 are solids. Q: Group 16 is called what? Choices: - noble gases - the acid group - metalloids - the oxygen group A:
(Answer)
the oxygen group
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Bathymetric maps are made from depth soundings or sonar data. They help oceanographers understand the shape of bottoms of lakes, bays, and the ocean. This information also helps boaters navigate safely. Q: Besides depth soundings, what else are bathymetric maps made of? Choices: - intensity data - solar data - density measures - sonar data A:
Ans: sonar data
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Electroplating In a process called electroplating, a layer of a second metal is deposited on the metal electrode that acts as the cathode during electrolysis. Electroplating is used to enhance the appearance of metal objects and protect them from corrosion. Examples of electroplating include the chromium layer found on many bathroom fixtures or (in earlier days) on the bumpers and hubcaps of cars, as well as the thin layer of precious metal that coats silver-plated dinnerware or jewelry. In all cases, the basic concept is the same. A schematic view of an apparatus for electroplating silverware and a photograph of a commercial electroplating cell are shown in Figure 19.24 "Electroplating". Q: What is the process in which a layer of a second metal is deposited on the metal electrode that acts as the cathode during electrolysis? Choices: - casting - cold fusion - distillation - electroplating A:
(A).
electroplating
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: would not be surprised if the surviving populations experienced serious bottlenecks. The subsequent diversification of the surviving organisms, such as the Dinosauria (which includes the extinct dinosaurs and modern birds) and the Cynodontia, which includes the ancestors of modern mammals, including us, could be due in part to these bottleneck-associated effects, for example, through the removal of competing species or predators. An astreroid impact, known as the Cretaceous-Tertiary event, occurred ~65 million years ago; it contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs and led to the diversification of mammals (which had first appeared in the fossil record ~160 million years ago). While surviving an asteroid impact (or other dramatic changes in climate) may be random, in other cases who survives a bottleneck is not. Consider the effects of a severe drought or highly virulent bacterial or viral infection; the organisms that survive may have specific phenotypes (and associated genotypes) that significantly influence their chance of survival. In such a case, the effect of the bottleneck event would produce non-random changes in the distribution of genotypes (and alleles) in the post-bottleneck population these selective effects could continue to influence the population in various ways. For example, a trait associated with pathogen resistance may also have negative phenotypic effects. After the pathogen-driven bottleneck, mutations that mitigate the resistance trait's negative effects (and may have their own effects) can be selected. The end result is that traits that would not be selected in the absence of the pathogen, are selected. In addition, the very occurrence of a rapid and extreme reduction in population size has its own effects. For example, it would be expected to increase the effects of genetic drift (see below) and could make finding a mate more difficult. We can identify extreme population reduction events, such as founder effects and bottlenecks, by looking at the variation in genotypes (that... Q: The rate of the accumulation of neutral what serves as a type of population-based biological clock? Choices: - prokaryotic - enzymes - eukaryotes - polymorphisms A:

Ans:polymorphisms
