Answer the following question given this paragraph: To help digest the large amount of plant material, the stomach of the ruminants is a multi-chambered organ, as illustrated in Figure 34.8. The four compartments of the stomach are called the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. These chambers contain many microbes that break down cellulose and ferment ingested food. The abomasum is the "true" stomach and is the equivalent of the monogastric stomach chamber where gastric juices are secreted. The four-compartment gastric chamber provides larger space and the microbial support necessary to digest plant material in ruminants. The fermentation process produces large amounts of gas in the stomach chamber, which must be eliminated. As in other animals, the small intestine plays an important role in nutrient absorption, and the large intestine helps in the elimination of waste. Q: How many stomach compartments do ruminants have? Choices: - five - two - seven - four A:
four
Answer the following question given this paragraph: One of the most familiar ocean zones is the intertidal zone. This is the narrow strip along a coastline that is covered by water at high tide and exposed to air at low tide. You can see an example of an intertidal zone in Figure below . There are plenty of nutrients and sunlight in the intertidal zone. Producers here include phytoplankton and algae. Other organisms include barnacles, snails, crabs, and mussels. They must have adaptations for the constantly changing conditions in this zone. Q: Which ocean zone is the narrow strip along a coastline that is covered by water at high tide and exposed to air at low tide? Choices: - miniscule zone - calcareous zone - deep zone - intertidal zone A:
intertidal zone
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity varies from place to place. It also varies in the same place from season to season. On a summer day in Atlanta, Georgia, humidity is high. The air feels very heavy and sticky. On a winter day in Flagstaff, Arizona, humidity is low. The air sucks moisture out of your nose and lips. Humidity can change rapidly if a storm comes in. Humidity can vary over a short distance, like near a lake. Even when humidity is at its highest, water vapor makes up only about 4% of the atmosphere. Q: What is the name for the amount of water vapor in the air? Choices: - ambient - heat - viscosity - humidity A:
A: humidity
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Linnaeus classified organisms based on obvious physical traits. Basically, organisms were grouped together if they looked alike. After Darwin published his theory of evolution in the 1800s, scientists looked for a way to classify organisms that showed phylogeny. Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a group of related organisms. It is represented by a phylogenetic tree , like the one in Figure below . Q: What is the evolutionary history of a group of related organisms called? Choices: - lineage - superfamily - ancestry - phylogeny A:
Answer: phylogeny

Choices: - cervix - penis - uterus - vagina A:
**Answer**
vagina
