Answer the following question given this paragraph: 7.5 Embryonic Development of the Axial Skeleton Formation of the axial skeleton begins during early embryonic development with the appearance of the rod-like notochord along the dorsal length of the early embryo. Repeating, paired blocks of tissue called somites then appear along either side of notochord. As the somites grow, they split into parts, one of which is called a sclerotome. This consists of mesenchyme, the embryonic tissue that will become the bones, cartilages, and connective tissues of the body. Mesenchyme in the head region will produce the bones of the skull via two different mechanisms. The bones of the brain case arise via intramembranous ossification in which embryonic mesenchyme tissue converts directly into bone. At the time of birth, these bones are separated by fontanelles, wide areas of fibrous connective tissue. As the bones grow, the fontanelles are reduced to sutures, which allow for continued growth of the skull throughout childhood. In contrast, the cranial base and facial bones are produced by the process of endochondral ossification, in which mesenchyme tissue initially produces a hyaline cartilage model of the future bone. The cartilage model allows for growth of the bone and is gradually converted into bone over a period of many years. The vertebrae, ribs, and sternum also develop via endochondral ossification. Mesenchyme accumulates around the notochord and produces hyaline cartilage models of the vertebrae. The notochord largely disappears, but remnants of the notochord contribute to formation of the intervertebral discs. In the thorax region, a portion of the vertebral cartilage model splits off to form the ribs. These then become attached anteriorly to the developing cartilage model of the sternum. Growth of the cartilage models for the vertebrae, ribs, and sternum allow for enlargement of the thoracic cage during childhood and adolescence. The cartilage models gradually undergo ossification and are converted into bone. Q: At the time of birth, bones of the brain case are separated by what wide areas of fibrous connective tissue, which later become sutures? Choices: - fluctuations - cerebellum - sporozoans - fontanelles A:
fontanelles
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Most sedimentary rocks form from sediments. Sediments are small pieces of other rocks, like pebbles, sand, silt, and clay. Sedimentary rocks may include fossils. Fossils are materials left behind by once-living organisms. Fossils can be pieces of the organism, like bones. They can also be traces of the organism, like footprints. Q: What is the term for something left behind by once-living organisms? Choices: - decay - waste matter - deposits - fossils A:
fossils
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Lipids Lipids include a diverse group of compounds that are united by a common feature. Lipids are hydrophobic ("waterfearing"), or insoluble in water, because they are nonpolar molecules. This is because they are hydrocarbons that include only nonpolar carbon-carbon or carbon-hydrogen bonds. Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of lipids called fats. Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals (Figure 2.17). For example, they help keep aquatic birds and mammals dry because of their water-repelling nature. Lipids are also the building blocks of many hormones and are an important constituent of the plasma membrane. Lipids include fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids. Q: In what form of lipids cells store energy for long-term use? Choices: - meat - nuts - treasure - fat A:
A: fat
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: An animal-like protist, or a protozoa. These protists have the ability to move, usually with some sort of cilia or flagella, and must obtain their energy from other sources. But obviously, they are much simpler than animals. Q: Cilia or flagella structures give protists what ability? Choices: - reproduction - breathing - eating - movement A:
Answer: movement

Answer the following question given this paragraph: farm fungi as a supply of food. Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism, usually an alga or cyanobacterium. The photosynthetic organism provides energy derived from light and carbohydrates, while the fungus supplies minerals and protection. Some animals that consume fungi help disseminate spores over long distances. Q: What have a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism? Choices: - crustaceans - amphibians - sponges - lichens A:
**Answer**
lichens
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Magnetic poles always occur in pairs of north and southit is not possible to isolate north and south poles. All magnetism is created by electric current. Ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, are those that exhibit strong magnetic effects. The atoms in ferromagnetic materials act like small magnets (due to currents within the atoms) and can be aligned, usually in millimeter-sized regions called domains. Domains can grow and align on a larger scale, producing permanent magnets. Such a material is magnetized, or induced to be magnetic. Above a material's Curie temperature, thermal agitation destroys the alignment of atoms, and ferromagnetism disappears. Electromagnets employ electric currents to make magnetic fields, often aided by induced fields in ferromagnetic materials. Q: Materials, such as iron, that exhibit strong magnetic effects are labeled what? Choices: - paramagnetic - superconducting - ultramagnetic - ferromagnetic A:
A: ferromagnetic
