Answer the following question given this paragraph: Thalamus The thalamus is a collection of nuclei that relay information between the cerebral cortex and the periphery, spinal cord, or brain stem. All sensory information, except for the sense of smell, passes through the thalamus before processing by the cortex. Axons from the peripheral sensory organs, or intermediate nuclei, synapse in the thalamus, and thalamic neurons project directly to the cerebrum. It is a requisite synapse in any sensory pathway, except for olfaction. The thalamus does not just pass the information on, it also processes that information. For example, the portion of the thalamus that receives visual information will influence what visual stimuli are important, or what receives attention. The cerebrum also sends information down to the thalamus, which usually communicates motor commands. This involves interactions with the cerebellum and other nuclei in the brain stem. The cerebrum interacts with the basal nuclei, which involves connections with the thalamus. The primary output of the basal nuclei is to the thalamus, which relays that output to the cerebral cortex. The cortex also sends information to the thalamus that will then influence the effects of the basal nuclei. Q: The primary output of the basal nuclei is to the thalamus, which relays that output to where? Choices: - effect cortex - Back cortex - suffering cortex - cerebral cortex A:
cerebral cortex

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Careful farming helps to keep up soil quality each season. One way is to plant different crops each year. Another is to alternate the crops planted in each row of the field. These techniques preserve and replenish soil nutrients. Planting nutrient rich cover crops helps the soil. Planting trees as windbreaks, plowing along contours of a field, or building terraces into steeper slopes all help to hold soil in place ( Figure below ). No-till or low-till farming disturbs the ground as little as possible during planting. Q: What is the purpose of utilizing careful farming practices such as rotating crops or planting nutrient rich crops? Choices: - improve sediment quality - improve photosynthesis quality - improve soil texture - improve soil quality A:
(Answer)
improve soil quality
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: All chemical reactions require activation energy, which is the energy needed to get a reaction started. Q: What type of energy is required in all chemical reactions? Choices: - conduction - function - solar - activation A:
Ans: activation
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sure we can! If you've ever flown on a jet airplane, you've been in the stratosphere. Airplanes fly in the stratosphere, because there is less friction. They get better gas mileage and so costs are lower. There is also less turbulence, so passengers are happier. Can you identify the bottom of the stratosphere in the photo? It's where the clouds begin. Remember that all weather is in the troposphere. Q: Planes fly in what layer of the atmosphere because there is less friction and turbulence? Choices: - mesosphere - ozone layer - crust - stratosphere A:
(A).
stratosphere
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Coevolution often happens in species that have symbiotic relationships. Examples include flowering plants and their pollinators. Q: What type of evolution often happens in species that have symbiotic relationships? Choices: - retrogression - succession - spontaneous evolution - coevolution A:

Ans:coevolution
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What characteristic of the endothelium structure minimizes resistance to the flow of blood? Choices: - uneven surface - liquid surface - transition surface - smooth surface A:
smooth surface
