Answer the following question given this paragraph: Plants may not be able to move to another location, but they are able to change how they grow in response to their environment. Growth toward or away from a stimulus is known as a tropism ( Table below ). Auxins, a class of plant hormones, allow plants to curve in specific directions as they grow. The auxin moves to one side of the stem, where it starts a chain of events that cause rapid cell growth on just that one side of the stem. With one side of the stem growing faster than the other, the plant begins to bend. Q: What plant hormone allows plants to curve in a specific direction? Choices: - peptides - pheremone - apoptosis - auxin A:
**Answer**
auxin

Answer the following question given this paragraph: When the temperature of reactants is higher, the rate of the reaction is faster. At higher temperatures, particles of reactants have more energy, so they move faster. They are more likely to bump into one another and to collide with greater force. For example, when you fry an egg, turning up the heat causes the egg to cook faster. The same principle explains why storing food in a cold refrigerator reduces the rate at which food spoils (see Figure below ). Both food frying and food spoiling are chemical reactions that happen faster at higher temperatures. Q: Which temperatures cause particles of reactants to have more energy? Choices: - non-existant - reducing - lower - higher A:
**Answer**
higher

Answer the following question given this paragraph: 40.4 | Blood Flow and Blood Pressure Regulation By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe the system of blood flow through the body Describe how blood pressure is regulated Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by blood on the walls of a blood vessel that helps to push blood through the body. Systolic blood pressure measures the amount of pressure that blood exerts on vessels while the heart is beating. The optimal systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg. Diastolic blood pressure measures the pressure in the vessels between heartbeats. The optimal diastolic blood pressure is 80 mmHg. Many factors can affect blood pressure, such as hormones, stress, exercise, eating, sitting, and standing. Blood flow through the body is regulated by the size of blood vessels, by the action of smooth muscle, by one-way valves, and by the fluid pressure of the blood itself. Q: What blood pressure reading measures the pressure in the vessels between heartbeats? Choices: - metabolic - plasma - systolic - diastolic A:
**Answer**
diastolic
