Answer the following question given this paragraph: The SI scale for measuring temperature is the Kelvin scale . However, some scientists use the Celsius scale instead. If you live in the U. S. , you are probably more familiar with the Fahrenheit scale. Table below compares all three temperature scales. What is the difference between the boiling and freezing points of water on each of these scales?. Q: What does the kelvin scale measure? Choices: - height - oxygen - precipitation - temperature A:
temperature
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Overview of Systemic Veins Systemic veins return blood to the right atrium. Since the blood has already passed through the systemic capillaries, it will be relatively low in oxygen concentration. In many cases, there will be veins draining organs and regions of the body with the same name as the arteries that supplied these regions and the two often parallel one another. This is often described as a "complementary" pattern. However, there is a great deal more variability in the venous circulation than normally occurs in the arteries. For the sake of brevity and clarity, this text will discuss only the most commonly encountered patterns. However, keep this variation in mind when you move from the classroom to clinical practice. In both the neck and limb regions, there are often both superficial and deeper levels of veins. The deeper veins generally correspond to the complementary arteries. The superficial veins do not normally have direct arterial counterparts, but in addition to returning blood, they also make contributions to the maintenance of body temperature. When the ambient temperature is warm, more blood is diverted to the superficial veins where heat can be more easily dissipated to the environment. In colder weather, there is more constriction of the superficial veins and blood is diverted deeper where the body can retain more of the heat. The "Voyage of Discovery" analogy and stick drawings mentioned earlier remain valid techniques for the study of systemic veins, but veins present a more difficult challenge because there are numerous anastomoses and multiple branches. It is like following a river with many tributaries and channels, several of which interconnect. Tracing blood flow through arteries follows the current in the direction of blood flow, so that we move from the heart through the large arteries and into the smaller arteries to the capillaries. From the capillaries, we move into the smallest veins and follow the direction of blood flow into larger veins and back to the heart. Figure 20.35... Q: Systemic veins return blood low in what to the right atrium? Choices: - dioxide - nutrients - nitrogen - oxygen A:
oxygen
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Hair serves many functions such as acting as a filter and keeping the body warm. Q: What mammalian feature serves functions such as filtration and keeping the body warm? Choices: - shivering - sensory organs - sweat - hair A:
A: hair
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Catalysts interact with reactants so the reaction can occur by an alternate pathway that has a lower activation energy. Activation energy is the energy needed to start a reaction. When activation energy is lower, more reactant particles have enough energy to react so the reaction goes faster. Many catalysts work like the one in the Figure below . (You can see an animated version at the following URL. ) The catalyst brings the reactants together by temporarily bonding with them. This makes it easier and quicker for the reactants to react together. Notice how the catalyst is released by the product molecule at the end of the reaction. Q: What is the energy needed to start a reaction between catalysts and reactants called? Choices: - reaction energy - decomposition energy - conductivity energy - activation energy A:
Answer: activation energy

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Milk and other dairy foods are not the only sources of calcium. This important nutrient is also found in green leafy vegetables, broccoli, and intact salmon and canned sardines with their soft bones. Nuts, beans, seeds, and shellfish provide calcium in smaller quantities. Except for fatty fish like salmon and tuna, or fortified milk or cereal, vitamin D is not found naturally in many foods. The action of sunlight on the skin triggers the body to produce its own vitamin D (Figure 6.22), but many people, especially those of darker complexion and those living in northern latitudes where the sun's rays are not as strong, are deficient in vitamin D. In cases of deficiency, a doctor can prescribe a vitamin D supplement. Q: The action of sunlight on the skin triggers the body to produce what vitamin? Choices: - Vitamin A - metabolic d - tissue d - vitamin d A:
**Answer**
vitamin d
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Symbiosis is a close relationship between two species in which at least one species benefits. For the other species, the relationship may be beneficial, harmful, or neutral. There are three types of symbiosis: mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism. Q: What are the three types of symbiosis? Choices: - connectionism , parasitism , commensalism - commensalism, osmosis, internalization - internalization , parasitism , commensalism - mutualism, parasitism, commensalism A:
A: mutualism, parasitism, commensalism
