Answer the following question given this paragraph: Arteries are muscular blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. They have thick walls that can withstand the pressure of blood being pumped by the heart. Arteries generally carry oxygen-rich blood. The largest artery is the aorta, which receives blood directly from the heart. Q: What type of blood vessels carry blood away from the heart? Choices: - Heart - tubes - Viens - arteries A:
arteries
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Water molecules move about continuously due to their kinetic energy. When a crystal of sodium chloride is placed into water, the water's molecules collide with the crystal lattice. Recall that the crystal lattice is composed of alternating positive and negative ions. Water is attracted to the sodium chloride crystal because water is polar and has both a positive and a negative end. The positively charged sodium ions in the crystal attract the oxygen end of the water molecules because they are partially negative. The negatively charged chloride ions in the crystal attract the hydrogen end of the water molecules because they are partially positive. The action of the polar water molecules takes the crystal lattice apart (see image below). Q: Water molecules move about continuously due to what type of energy? Choices: - seismic - potential - optical - kinetic A:
kinetic
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Latitude means how far a biome is from the equator. Moving from the poles to the equator, you will find (in order) Arctic, boreal, temperate, subtropical, and tropical biomes. Q: What biome is located between the temperate and tropical biomes? Choices: - Desert - mountainous - Tropical - subtropical A:
A: subtropical
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Boron neutron capture therapy is a potential treatment for many diseases. As the name implies, when boron10, one of the naturally occurring isotopes of boron, is bombarded with neutrons, it absorbs a neutron and emits an particle. Write a balanced nuclear reaction for this reaction. One advantage of this process is that neutrons cause little damage on their own, but when they are absorbed by boron-10, they can cause localized emission of alpha radiation. Comment on the utility of this treatment and its potential difficulties. Q: When boron10 absorbs a neutron, what does it emit? Choices: - calcium - light - proteins - particle A:
Answer: particle

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sensory Nerves The olfactory, optic, and vestibulocochlear nerves (cranial nerves I, II, and VIII) are dedicated to four of the special senses: smell, vision, equilibrium, and hearing, respectively. Taste sensation is relayed to the brain stem through fibers of the facial and glossopharyngeal nerves. The trigeminal nerve is a mixed nerve that carries the general somatic senses from the head, similar to those coming through spinal nerves from the rest of the body. Testing smell is straightforward, as common smells are presented to one nostril at a time. The patient should be able to recognize the smell of coffee or mint, indicating the proper functioning of the olfactory system. Loss of the sense of smell is called anosmia and can be lost following blunt trauma to the head or through aging. The short axons of the first cranial nerve regenerate on a regular basis. The neurons in the olfactory epithelium have a limited life span, and new cells grow to replace the ones that die off. The axons from these neurons grow back into the CNS by following the existing axonsrepresenting one of the few examples of such growth in the mature nervous system. If all of the fibers are sheared when the brain moves within the cranium, such as in a motor vehicle accident, then no axons can find their way back to the olfactory bulb to reestablish connections. If the nerve is not completely severed, the anosmia may be temporary as new neurons can eventually reconnect. Q: Olfactory, optic, and vestibulocochlear nerves are related to what type of function? Choices: - pulmonary - respiratory - digestion - sensory A:
**Answer**
sensory
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The kidneys help the body maintain homeostasis in several ways. They filter all the blood in the body many times each day and produce urine. They control the amount of water and dissolved substances in the blood by excreting more or less of them in urine. Q: Which body organ filters the blood in the body and creates urine? Choices: - intestines - liver - the arteries - the kidneys A:
the kidneys
