Answer the following question given this paragraph: All objects in the universe have a gravitational attraction to each other ( Figure below ). The strength of the force of gravity depends on two things. They are the mass of the objects and the distance between them. The greater the objects' mass, the greater the force of attraction. As the distance between the objects increases, the force of attraction decreases. Q: The mass of the objects and the distance between them affect the strength of what universal force? A:
OPTIONS:
- states of matter
- weight
- motion
- gravity
gravity

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Platelets You may occasionally see platelets referred to as thrombocytes, but because this name suggests they are a type of cell, it is not accurate. A platelet is not a cell but rather a fragment of the cytoplasm of a cell called a megakaryocyte that is surrounded by a plasma membrane. Megakaryocytes are descended from myeloid stem cells (see Figure 18.4) and are large, typically 50100 m in diameter, and contain an enlarged, lobed nucleus. As noted earlier, thrombopoietin, a glycoprotein secreted by the kidneys and liver, stimulates the proliferation of megakaryoblasts, which mature into megakaryocytes. These remain within bone marrow tissue (Figure 18.12) and ultimately form platelet-precursor extensions that extend through the walls of bone marrow capillaries to release into the circulation thousands of cytoplasmic fragments, each enclosed by a bit of plasma membrane. These enclosed fragments are platelets. Each megakarocyte releases 20003000 platelets during its lifespan. Following platelet release, megakaryocyte remnants, which are little more than a cell nucleus, are consumed by macrophages. Platelets are relatively small, 24 m in diameter, but numerous, with typically 150,000160,000 per L of blood. After entering the circulation, approximately one-third migrate to the spleen for storage for later release in response to any rupture in a blood vessel. They then become activated to perform their primary function, which is to limit blood loss. Platelets remain only about 10 days, then are phagocytized by macrophages. Platelets are critical to hemostasis, the stoppage of blood flow following damage to a vessel. They also secrete a variety of growth factors essential for growth and repair of tissue, particularly connective tissue. Infusions of concentrated platelets are now being used in some therapies to stimulate healing. Q: After entering the circulation, approximately one-third of platelets migrate to what organ for storage, to be released in response to any blood vessel rupture? A:
OPTIONS:
- bladder
- lungs
- kidneys
- spleen

Answer: spleen

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Passive transport is a way that small molecules or ions move across the cell membrane without input of energy by the cell. The three main kinds of passive transport are diffusion (or simple diffusion), osmosis, and facilitated diffusion. Simple diffusion and osmosis do not involve transport proteins. Facilitated diffusion requires the assistance of proteins. Q: What term describes a way that small molecules or ions move across the cell membrane without input of energy by the cell? A:
OPTIONS:
- physical transport
- impassive transport
- immune transport
- passive transport
Answer: passive transport

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: When ancient plants underwent photosynthesis, they changed energy in sunlight to stored chemical energy in food. The plants used the food and so did the organisms that ate the plants. After the plants and other organisms died, their remains gradually changed to fossil fuels as they were covered and compressed by layers of sediments. Petroleum and natural gas formed from ocean organisms and are found together. Coal formed from giant tree ferns and other swamp plants. Q: During photosynthesis what organelle is used by plants to change sunlight into chemical energy? A:
OPTIONS:
- mitochondria
- golgi apparatus
- ribosome
- chloroplasts
output: chloroplasts

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Normal light microscopes can magnify objects up to about 1,500 times. Electron microscopes can magnify objects up to 1,000,000 times. Why can electron microscopes magnify images so much? A microscope's resolution depends on the wavelength of light used. The smaller the wavelength, the more a microscope can magnify. Light is a wave, and, as such, it has a wavelength associated with it. The wavelength of visible light, which is detected by the eyes, varies from about 700 nm to about 400 nm. One of the startling conclusions about modern science is that electrons also act as waves. However, the wavelength of electrons is much, much shorterabout 0.5 to 1 nm. This allows electron microscopes to magnify 600700 times more than light microscopes. This allows us to see even smaller features in a world that is invisible to the naked eye. Atoms act the way they do because of their structure. We already know that atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, and electrons orbit around the nucleus. But we need to know the structural details to understand why atoms react the way they do. Virtually everything we know about atoms ultimately comes from light. Before we can understand the composition of atoms (especially electrons), we need to understand the properties of light. Q: While normal light microscopes can magnify objects up to about 1,500 times, what advanced instruments can magnify objects up to 1,000,000 times? A:

OPTIONS:
- magnetic microscopes
- micro microscopes
- electric microscopes
- electron microscopes

A: electron microscopes

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Force is defined as a push or pull acting on an object. There are several fundamental forces in the universe, including the force of gravity, electromagnetic force, and weak and strong nuclear forces. When it comes to the motion of everyday objects, however, the forces of interest include mainly gravity, friction, and applied force. Applied force is force that a person or thing applies to an object. Q: Push or pull acting on an object is also called? A:
OPTIONS:
- Gravity.
- space
- effort
- force
