Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Low levels of estrogens and progesterone are also associated with some disease states, such as osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, and hyperlipidemia, or abnormal blood lipid levels. Testosterone levels also decline with age, a condition called andropause (or viropause); however, this decline is much less dramatic than the decline of estrogens in women, and much more gradual, rarely affecting sperm production until very old age. Although this means that males maintain their ability to father children for decades longer than females, the quantity, quality, and motility of their sperm is often reduced. As the body ages, the thyroid gland produces less of the thyroid hormones, causing a gradual decrease in the basal metabolic rate. The lower metabolic rate reduces the production of body heat and increases levels of body fat. Parathyroid hormones, on the other hand, increase with age. This may be because of reduced dietary calcium levels, causing a compensatory increase in parathyroid hormone. However, increased parathyroid hormone levels combined with decreased levels of calcitonin (and estrogens in women) can lead to osteoporosis as PTH stimulates demineralization of bones to increase blood calcium levels. Notice that osteoporosis is common in both elderly males and females. Increasing age also affects glucose metabolism, as blood glucose levels spike more rapidly and take longer to return to normal in the elderly. In addition, increasing glucose intolerance may occur because of a gradual decline in cellular insulin sensitivity. Almost 27 percent of Americans aged 65 and older have diabetes. Q: How do parathyroid hormones react as a body ages? A:
OPTIONS:
- use with age
- decrease with age
- help with age
- increase with age
Answer: increase with age

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Forms of Energy The forms of energy include thermal energy, radiant energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, and chemical energy (Figure 5.1 "Forms of Energy"). Thermal energy results from atomic and molecular motion; the faster the motion, the greater the thermal energy. The temperature of an object is a measure of its thermal energy content. Radiant energy is the energy carried by light, microwaves, and radio waves. Objects left in bright sunshine or exposed to microwaves become warm because much of the radiant energy they absorb is converted to thermal energy. Electrical energy results from the flow of electrically charged particles. When the ground and a cloud develop a separation of charge, for example, the resulting flow of electrons from one to the other produces lightning, a natural form of electrical energy. Nuclear energy is stored in the nucleus of an atom, and chemical energy is stored within a chemical compound because of a particular arrangement of atoms. (a) Thermal energy results from atomic and molecular motion; molten steel at 2000C has a very high thermal energy content. (b) Radiant energy (e. , from the sun) is the energy in light, microwaves, and radio waves. (c) Lightning is an example of electrical energy, which is due to the flow of electrically charged particles. (d)Nuclear. Q: The temperature of an object is a measure of what type of energy? A:
OPTIONS:
- chemical
- magnetic
- density
- thermal
output: thermal

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Oceans cover more than 70 percent of Earth's surface and hold 97 percent of its surface water. It's no surprise that the oceans have a big influence on the planet. The oceans affect the atmosphere, climate, and living things. Q: The earth's atmosphere, climate, and living things are effected by what feature that covers more than 70 percent of earth's surface? A:

OPTIONS:
- rivers
- continents
- mountains
- oceans

A: oceans

input: OPTIONS:
- watt
- ampere
- ohm
- volts Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Electric current occurs whenever there is a difference in electric potential energy, or voltage. Voltage is measured in volts (V). Q: What is the unit used to measure voltage? A:
A:
output: volts

Answer the following question given this paragraph: When homologous chromosomes form pairs during prophase I of meiosis I, crossing-over can occur. Crossing-over is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome. Q: When do homologous chromosomes form pairs? A:

OPTIONS:
- mitosis
- metathesis
- transcripton
- meiosis

Answer: meiosis

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Static electricity is a buildup of electric charges on objects. Charges build up when negative electrons are transferred from one object to another. The object that gives up electrons becomes positively charged, and the object that accepts the electrons becomes negatively charged. This can happen in several ways. Q: What type of electricity is formed when a negative charge builds up and are transferred? A:

OPTIONS:
- neutron energy
- alternating current
- direct current
- static electricity

A:
static electricity
