Answer the following question given this paragraph: The study of rock strata is called stratigraphy . The laws of stratigraphy can help scientists understand Earth's past. The laws of stratigraphy are usually credited to a geologist from Denmark named Nicolas Steno. He lived in the 1600s. The laws are illustrated in the Figure below ; refer to the figure as you read about Steno's laws below. Q: What is the study of rock strata called? Choices: - biochemistry - chemistry - biology - stratigraphy A:
stratigraphy
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Roundworms may be free-living or parasitic. Free-living worms are found mainly in freshwater habitats. Some live in soil. They generally feed on bacteria, fungi, protozoans, or decaying organic matter. By breaking down organic matter, they play an important role in the carbon cycle. Q: Roundworms feed on various things, one of them being decaying organic matter. doing this, they play an important role in what famous cycle? Choices: - life cycle - soul cycle - water cycle - carbon cycle A:
carbon cycle
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Lots of volcanoes form along subduction plate boundaries. The edges of the Pacific Plate are a long subduction boundary. Lines of volcanoes can form at subduction zones on oceanic or continental crust. Japan is an example of a volcanic arc on oceanic crust. The Cascade Range and Andes Mountains are volcanic arcs on continental crust. Q: Lots of volcanoes form along which boundaries? Choices: - deposit plate bounderies - basalt plate boundaries - geyser plate boundaries - subduction plate boundaries A:
A: subduction plate boundaries
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Many human diseases are caused by protists. Most of them are caused by protozoa. They are parasites that invade and live in the human body. The parasites get a place to live and nutrients from the human host. In return, they make the host sick. Examples of human diseases caused by protozoa include giardiasis and malaria. Q: Giardiasis and malaria are diseases caused by what organism? Choices: - worms - larvae - bacteria - protozoa A:
Answer: protozoa

Answer the following question given this paragraph: All combustion reactions are exothermic reactions. During a combustion reaction, a substance burns as it combines with oxygen. When substances burn, they usually give off energy as heat and light. Look at the big bonfire in the Figure below . The combustion of wood is an exothermic reaction that releases a lot of energy as heat and light. You can see the light energy the fire is giving off. If you were standing near the fire, you would also feel its heat. Q: All combustion reactions are what type of reactions? Choices: - flammable - geothermal - reversible - exothermic A:
**Answer**
exothermic

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Obesity With obesity at high rates in the United States, there is a public health focus on reducing obesity and associated health risks, which include diabetes, colon and breast cancer, and cardiovascular disease. How does the food consumed contribute to obesity? Fatty foods are calorie-dense, meaning that they have more calories per unit mass than carbohydrates or proteins. One gram of carbohydrates has four calories, one gram of protein has four calories, and one gram of fat has nine calories. Animals tend to seek lipid-rich food for their higher energy content. Greater amounts of food energy taken in than the body's requirements will result in storage of the excess in fat deposits. Excess carbohydrate is used by the liver to synthesize glycogen. When glycogen stores are full, additional glucose is converted into fatty acids. These fatty acids are stored in adipose tissue cellsthe fat cells in the mammalian body whose primary role is to store fat for later use. The rate of obesity among children is rapidly rising in the United States. To combat childhood obesity and ensure that children get a healthy start in life, in 2010 First Lady Michelle Obama launched the Let's Move! campaign. The goal of this campaign is to educate parents and caregivers on providing healthy nutrition and encouraging active lifestyles in future generations. This program aims to involve the entire community, including parents, teachers, and healthcare providers to ensure that children have access to healthy foodsmore fruits, vegetables, and whole grainsand consume fewer calories from processed foods. Another goal is to ensure that children get physical activity. With the increase in television viewing and stationary pursuits such as video games, sedentary lifestyles have become the norm.
