Answer the following question given this paragraph: Chytridiomycota: The Chytrids The only class in the Phylum Chytridiomycota is the Chytridiomycetes. The chytrids are the simplest and most primitive Eumycota, or true fungi. The evolutionary record shows that the first recognizable chytrids appeared during the late preCambrian period, more than 500 million years ago. Like all fungi, chytrids have chitin in their cell walls, but one group of chytrids has both cellulose and chitin in the cell wall. Most chytrids are unicellular; a few form multicellular organisms and hyphae, which have no septa between cells (coenocytic). They produce gametes and diploid zoospores that swim with the help of a single flagellum. The ecological habitat and cell structure of chytrids have much in common with protists. Chytrids usually live in aquatic environments, although some species live on land. Some species thrive as parasites on plants, insects, or amphibians (Figure 24.10), while others are saprobes. The chytrid species Allomyces is well characterized as an experimental organism. Its reproductive cycle includes both asexual and sexual phases. Allomyces produces diploid or haploid flagellated zoospores in a sporangium. Q: The chytrids the only class in the phylum chytridiomycota is the chytridiomycetes. the chytrids are the simplest and most primitive eumycota, or true this? Choices: - acids - proteins - organisms - fungi A:
fungi
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 18.19 The shape of the male reproductive organ varies among male damselfly species, and is only compatible with the female of that species. Reproductive organ incompatibility keeps the species reproductively isolated. Q: What keeps various species from mating and reproducing outside their own species? Choices: - digestive system incompatibility - brain organ incompatibility - cancer organ incompatibility - reproductive organ incompatibility A:
reproductive organ incompatibility
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Salts Recall that salts are formed when ions form ionic bonds. In these reactions, one atom gives up one or more electrons, and thus becomes positively charged, whereas the other accepts one or more electrons and becomes negatively charged. You can now define a salt as a substance that, when dissolved in water, dissociates into ions other than H+ or OH. This fact is important in distinguishing salts from acids and bases, discussed next. A typical salt, NaCl, dissociates completely in water (Figure 2.15). The positive and negative regions on the water molecule (the hydrogen and oxygen ends respectively) attract the negative chloride and positive sodium ions, pulling them away from each other. Again, whereas nonpolar and polar covalently bonded compounds break apart into molecules in solution, salts dissociate into ions. These ions are electrolytes; they are capable of conducting an electrical current in solution. This property is critical to the function of ions in transmitting nerve impulses and prompting muscle contraction. Q: What substances, which are distinct from acids and bases, form when ions form ionic bonds? Choices: - oils - vitamins - water molecules - salts A:
A: salts
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cholesterol has been implicated in heart disease for decades. Atherosclerosis is a disorder of the arteries in which cholesterol and other materials are deposited on the interior of the arterial wall. These deposits lead to the formation of plaques that can restrict or even block the flow of blood through these blood vessels (see Figure below ). A decrease in the flow of blood can lead to high blood pressure and a lowered oxygen supply to the heart muscle. A complete blockage of blood flow to parts of the heart (a heart attack) can cause significant damage due to oxygen deprivation, in some cases leading to death. Q: What is the name of the disorder of the arteries in which cholesterol and other materials are deposited on the interior of the arterial wall? Choices: - arthritis - anemia - paralysis - atherosclerosis A:
Answer: atherosclerosis
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number. This is also unique for each element. Q: The atomic number is the same as the number of what in an atom? Choices: - neutrons - ions - electrons - protons A:
**Answer**
protons
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Most minerals are a combination of metal and other elements. The rocks that are taken from a mine are full of valuable minerals plus rock that isn't valuable. This is called waste rock. The valuable minerals must be separated from the waste rock. One way to do this is with a chemical reaction. Chemicals are added to the ores at very high temperatures. Q: The rocks that are taken from a mine are full of valuable minerals plus rock that isn't valuable. what is this rock called? Choices: - garbage rock - compost rock - empty rock - waste rock A:
waste rock
