Answer the following question given this paragraph: Chapter 27 1 Sperm remain in the epididymis until they degenerate. 3 The fimbriae sweep the oocyte into the uterine tube. 5 The testes are located in the abdomen. 6 b 8 b 10 c 12 a 14 c 16 d 18 b 20 A single gamete must combine with a gamete from an individual of the opposite sex to produce a fertilized egg, which has a complete set of chromosomes and is the first cell of a new individual. 22 The three accessory glands make the following contributions to semen: the seminal vesicle contributes about 60 percent of the semen volume, with fluid that contains large amounts of fructose to power the movement of sperm; the prostate gland contributes substances critical to sperm maturation; and the bulbourethral glands contribute a thick fluid that lubricates the ends of the urethra and the vagina and helps to clean urine residues from the urethra. 24 Testosterone production by the body would be reduced if a male were taking anabolic steroids. This is because the hypothalamus responds to rising testosterone levels by reducing its secretion of GnRH, which would in turn reduce the anterior pituitary's release of LH, finally reducing the manufacture of testosterone in the testes. 26 Meiosis in the man results in four viable haploid sperm, whereas meiosis in the woman results in a secondary oocyte and, upon completion following fertilization by a sperm, one viable haploid ovum with abundant cytoplasm and up to three polar bodies with little cytoplasm that are destined to die. 28 Endometrial tissue proliferating outside of the endometriumfor example, in the uterine tubes, on the ovaries, or within the pelvic cavitycould block the passage of sperm, ovulated oocytes, or a zygote, thus reducing fertility. 30 The internal reproductive structures form from one of two rudimentary duct systems in the embryo. Testosterone secretion stimulates growth of the male tract, the Wolffian duct. Secretions of sustentacular cells trigger a degradation of the female tract, the Mullerian duct. Without these stimuli, the Mullerian duct will... Q: What effect does taking anabolic steroids have on testosterone production? Choices: - does nothing - eliminates it - increases it - reduces it A:
reduces it
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Refusing one meal won't stunt your growth. But lack of proper food over a period of time can lead to malnutrition. That means, the body is not getting enough nutrients to grow and stay healthy. Kids who are malnourished may not grow as tall as they would otherwise. Q: Lack of proper food over a period of time can lead to what condition, where the body is not getting enough nutrients to grow and stay healthy? Choices: - anemia - mortality - bulimia - malnutrition A:
malnutrition
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A tissue is a group of specialized cells of the same kind that perform the same function. Modern plants have three major types of tissues. They're called dermal, ground, and vascular tissues. Q: How many types of major tissues do modern plants have? Choices: - two - seven - four - three A:
A: three
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Indeed, scientists discovered something astonishing. Many times in Earth's history, the magnetic poles have switched positions. North becomes south and south becomes north! When the north and south poles are aligned as they are now, geologists say it is normal polarity. When they are in the opposite position, they say that it is reversed polarity. Q: What feature of the land do contour lines show? Choices: - trails - flat surfaces - bodies of water - three-dimensional shape A:
Answer: three-dimensional shape

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cytoplasm is one component of cells that is common to all cells. Cytoplasm is the gel-like material between the cell membrane and the nucleus. The cytoplasm plays an important role in a cell, serving as a "jelly" in which organelles are suspended and held together by the cell membrane. Though prokaryotic cells do not have organelles (though they do have ribosomes), they still have cytoplasm. It is within the cytoplasm that most cellular activities occur, including the many metabolic pathways that occur within organelles, such as photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. Q: What is the gel-like material between the cell membrane and the nucleus called? Choices: - ribosome - mucus - vacuole - cytoplasm A:
**Answer**
cytoplasm
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Surface mining exposes minerals that were underground to air and water at the surface. These minerals contain the chemical element sulfur. Sulfur mixes with air and water to make sulfuric acid. This acid is a highly corrosive chemical. Sulfuric acid gets into nearby streams and can kill fish, plants, and animals. Surface mining is safer for the miners. Q: What is corrosive mixture is formulated by the combination of water, air and sulfur? Choices: - nitric acid - sulfuric water - hydrochloric acid - sulfuric acid A:
sulfuric acid
