Answer the following question given this paragraph: The inertia of an object depends on its mass. Objects with greater mass also have greater inertia. Think how hard it would be to push a big box full of books, like the one in Figure below . Then think how easy it would be to push the box if it was empty. The full box is harder to move because it has greater mass and therefore greater inertia. Q: What property increases as an object's mass increases, making a full box harder to push than an empty one? Choices: - weight - gravity - magnetism - inertia A:
inertia
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Because the Sun is not solid, it does not have a defined outer boundary. It does, however, have a definite internal structure with identifiable layers ( Figure below ). Since the layers are not solid, the boundaries are fuzzy and indistinct. From inward to outward, the layers are: the core, the radiative zone, and the convection zone. Q: What is the innermost layer of the sun called? Choices: - Convection Zone - Chromosphere - Photosphere - the core A:
the core
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The theory of climate change is very new. In fact, scientists don't even call it a theory. But it meets the requirements. These are the things we know: (1) average global temperatures are rising, (2) greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, (3) CO 2 is released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned, (4) CO 2 is a greenhouse gas, (5) more CO 2 in the atmosphere traps more heat so global temperature is rising. No information contradicts this theory, although some details have not been worked out. The theory is very effective at predicting future events, which are already taking place. This idea will be explored in detail in the chapter Atmospheric Processes . Q: Which theory helps predict future events in weather? Choices: - expected change theory - future weather theory - carbon change theory - climate change theory A:
A: climate change theory
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 17.6 | The Adrenal Glands By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe the location and structure of the adrenal glands Identify the hormones produced by the adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla, and summarize their target cells and effects The adrenal glands are wedges of glandular and neuroendocrine tissue adhering to the top of the kidneys by a fibrous capsule (Figure 17.17). The adrenal glands have a rich blood supply and experience one of the highest rates of blood flow in the body. They are served by several arteries branching off the aorta, including the suprarenal and renal arteries. Blood flows to each adrenal gland at the adrenal cortex and then drains into the adrenal medulla. Adrenal hormones are released into the circulation via the left and right suprarenal veins. Q: What glands are wedges of glandular and neuroendocrine tissue adhering to the top of the kidneys by a fibrous capsule? Choices: - heart glands - nutrients glands - fatty glands - adrenal glands A:
Answer: adrenal glands

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Do you like toast? Did you ever look inside a toaster while it's toasting bread? When you push down the lever to turn on the toaster, the metal heating element inside starts to glow orange or red almost instantly. You can see the glowing heating element inside this yellow toaster. The glowing metal shows that the heating element has become very hot. It gets hot so quickly because metals are good conductors of thermal energy. Q: Why does the heating element of a toaster get hot so quickly? Choices: - charged battery - magnetic force - good insulator - good conductor A:
**Answer**
good conductor

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Almost all fungi have a single common ancestor. The earliest fungi may have evolved about 600 million years ago. Fungi colonized land at least 460 million years ago. By 250 million years ago, they may have been the dominant life forms on Earth. Q: Evolving from a single common ancestor, what group of organisms was perhaps the dominant life form on earth 250 million years ago? Choices: - acids - atoms - proteins - fungi A:
(Answer)
fungi
