Q: What happens when heated water is released into a body of water? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: If heated water is released into a body of water, it may cause thermal pollution. Thermal pollution is a reduction in the quality of water because of an increase in water temperature. A common cause of thermal pollution is the use of water as a coolant by power plants and factories. This water is heated and then returned to the natural environment at a higher temperature. Choices: - crystalline pollution - gaseous pollution - geysers - thermal pollution A:
thermal pollution

Q: Q: What is the si unit for pressure? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Summary Four quantities must be known for a complete physical description of a sample of a gas: temperature, volume, amount, and pressure. Pressure is force per unit area of surface; the SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), defined as 1 newton per square meter (N/m2). The pressure exerted by an object is proportional to the force it exerts and inversely proportional to the area on which the force is exerted. The pressure exerted by Earth's atmosphere, called atmospheric pressure, is about 101 kPa or 14.7 lb/in.2 at sea level. Atmospheric pressure can be measured with abarometer, a closed, inverted tube filled with mercury. The height of the mercury column is proportional to atmospheric pressure, which is often reported in units ofmillimeters of mercury (mmHg), also called torr. Standard atmospheric pressure, the pressure required to support a column of mercury 760 mm tall, is yet. Choices: - watt - laurent - le - pascal A:
A: pascal

Plasma is also found naturally in lightning and the northern and southern lights. Human-made plasma is found in fluorescent lights, plasma TV screens, and plasma spheres. Choices: - aurora - gamma - gas - plasma A:

Q: What is the ring of hooks tapeworms use to attach themselves? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Tapeworms and flukes have suckers and other structures for feeding on a host. Tapeworms also have a scolex , a ring of hooks on their head to attach themselves to the host (see Figure below ). Unlike other invertebrates, tapeworms lack a mouth and digestive system. Instead, they absorb nutrients directly from the host's digestive system with their suckers. Choices: - cilia - dewlap - flagella - scolex A:
**Answer**
scolex
