Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sensory neurons in each sense organ receive stimuli, or messages from the environment that cause a response in the body. For example, sensory neurons in the eyes send messages to the brain about light. Sensory neurons in the skin send messages to the brain about touch. Our sense organs recognize sensations, but they don't tell us what we are sensing. For example, when you breathe in chemicals given off by baking cookies, your nose does not tell you that you are smelling cookies. That's your brain's job. The sense organs send messages about sights, smells, and other stimuli to the brain ( Figure below ). The brain then reads the messages and tells you what they mean. A certain area of the brain receives and interprets information from each sense organ. For example, information from the nose is received and interpreted by the temporal lobe of the cerebrum. Q: What organ interprets what our sensory organs sense? Choices: - nerves - lungs - thyroid - brain A:
brain
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The mesosphere is the layer above the stratosphere. Temperature decreases with altitude in this layer. Meteors burn up here. Q: Located above the stratosphere, what layer is the place where meteors burn up? Choices: - unisphere - troposphere - atmosphere - mesosphere A:
mesosphere
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Beta particles can travel up to a meter through air. They can pass through paper and cloth but not through a sheet of aluminum. They can penetrate and damage tissues beneath the skin. Q: How much distance can beta particles travel through air? Choices: - centimeters - inches - density - meter A:
A: meter
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Electrical energy consumed can be determined by multiplying power by time . Recall the equations for mechanical and thermal energy/work . An important idea is the efficiency of an electrical device: the fraction of electrical energy consumed that goes into doing useful work , expressed as a percentage. Q: Electrical energy consumed can be expressed as the product of power multiplied by what else? Choices: - work - energy - speed - time A:
Answer: time

**Answer**
volume increases
Answer the following question given this paragraph: A later adaption for life on land was the evolution of vascular tissue. Vascular tissue is specialized tissue that transports water, nutrients, and food in plants. In algae, vascular tissue is not necessary since the entire body is in contact with the water, and the water simply enters the algae. But on land, water may only be found deep in the ground. Vascular tissues take water and nutrients from the ground up into the plant, while also taking food down from the leaves into the rest of the plant. The two vascular tissues are xylem and phloem. Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem carries the sugars made in the leaves to the parts of the plant where they are needed. Q: What type of tissue transports water, nutrients, and food in plants? Choices: - rough tissue - normal tissue - smooth tissue - vascular tissue A:
vascular tissue
