Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 6.17 Centrifuges use inertia to perform their task. Particles in the fluid sediment come out because their inertia carries them away from the center of rotation. The large angular velocity of the centrifuge quickens the sedimentation. Ultimately, the particles will come into contact with the test tube walls, which will then supply the centripetal force needed to make them move in a circle of constant radius. Q: Centrifuges use what to perform their task? Choices: - absorption - jets - magnetism - inertia A:
inertia

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Some of the most interesting evidence for evolution comes from vestigial structures . These are body parts that are no longer used but are still present in modern organisms. Examples in humans include tail bones and the appendix. Q: What is the tail bone an example of? Choices: - invertebrate structure - parasitic structure - primordial structure - vestigial structure A:
(Answer)
vestigial structure
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The main concern over the use of nuclear energy is the risk of radiation. Accidents at nuclear power plants can release harmful radiation that endangers people and other living things. Even without accidents, the used fuel that is left after nuclear fission reactions is still radioactive and very dangerous. It takes thousands of years for it to decay until it no longer releases harmful radiation. Therefore, used fuel must be stored securely to protect people and other living things. You can learn more about the problem of radioactive waste at this URL: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=OPQ97LVRuuM. Q: What is the biggest risk associated with using nuclear energy? Choices: - explosion - mutation - fire - radiation A:
Ans: radiation

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Intrinsic Muscles of the Hand The intrinsic muscles of the hand both originate and insert within it (Figure 11.28). These muscles allow your fingers to also make precise movements for actions, such as typing or writing. These muscles are divided into three groups. The thenar muscles are on the radial aspect of the palm. The hypothenar muscles are on the medial aspect of the palm, and the intermediate muscles are midpalmar. The thenar muscles include the abductor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis, flexor pollicis brevis, and the adductor pollicis. These muscles form the thenar eminence, the rounded contour of the base of the thumb, and all act on the thumb. The movements of the thumb play an integral role in most precise movements of the hand. The hypothenar muscles include the abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti minimi brevis, and the opponens digiti minimi. These muscles form the hypothenar eminence, the rounded contour of the little finger, and as such, they all act on the little finger. Finally, the intermediate muscles act on all the fingers and include the lumbrical, the palmar interossei, and the dorsal interossei. Q: Which muscles allow your fingers to also make precise movements for actions? Choices: - paired muscles - motoric muscles - fine movement muscles - intrinsic muscles A:
(A).
intrinsic muscles
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Human Digestive System The process of digestion begins in the mouth with the intake of food (Figure 16.4). The teeth play an important role in masticating (chewing) or physically breaking food into smaller particles. The enzymes present in saliva also begin to chemically break down food. The food is then swallowed and enters the esophagusa long tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. Using peristalsis, or wave-like smooth-muscle contractions, the muscles of the esophagus push the food toward the stomach. The stomach contents are extremely acidic, with a pH between 1.5 and 2.5. This acidity kills microorganisms, breaks down food tissues, and activates digestive enzymes. Further breakdown of food takes place in the small intestine where bile produced by the liver, and enzymes produced by the small intestine and the pancreas, continue the process of digestion. The smaller molecules are absorbed into the blood stream through the epithelial cells lining the walls of the small intestine. The waste material travels on to the large intestine where water is absorbed and the drier waste material is compacted into feces; it is stored until it is excreted through the anus. Q: In the mouth, enzymes present in what begin to chemically break down food? Choices: - blood - acid - lymph - saliva A:

Ans:saliva
Answer the following question given this paragraph: To harness water power, a stream must be dammed. Narrow valleys are the best for dams. While sitting in the reservoir behind the dam, the water has potential energy. Water is allowed to flow downhill into a large turbine. While flowing downhill, the water has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy makes the turbine spin. The turbine is connected to a generator, which makes electricity. Q: Water is allowed to flow downhill into a large turbine to harness power. what helps the turbine spin? Choices: - residual energy - electrostatic energy - polar energy - kinetic energy A:
kinetic energy
