Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: The proximity of the axillary buds to the apical bud is partly responsible for their what? Choices: - germination - growth - development - dormancy A:
dormancy
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege. org/l/vertebrate_evol) of biologist Mark Kirschner discussing the "flipping" phenomenon of vertebrate evolution. The nervous system is made up of neurons, specialized cells that can receive and transmit chemical or electrical signals, and glia, cells that provide support functions for the neurons by playing an information processing role that is complementary to neurons. A neuron can be compared to an electrical wireit transmits a signal from one place to another. Glia can be compared to the workers at the electric company who make sure wires go to the right places, maintain the wires, and take down wires that are broken. Although glia have been compared to workers, recent evidence suggests that also usurp some of the signaling functions of neurons. There is great diversity in the types of neurons and glia that are present in different parts of the nervous system. There are four major types of neurons, and they share several important cellular components. Q: The nervous system is made up of these? Choices: - fibers - blood cells - muscles - neurons A:
neurons
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Density describes how much matter is in a certain amount of space. Substances that have more matter packed into a given space have higher densities. The water in a drinking glass has the same density as the water in a bathtub or swimming pool. All substances have characteristic densities, which does not depend on how much of a substance you have. Q: What describes how much matter is in a certain amount of space? Choices: - volume - mass - viscosity - density A:
A: density
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The combined gas law, , is true for a particular sample of gas. If any gas is added or allowed to leak out, however, the relationship is lost. In order to get a relationship that is true for any sample of gas, it is necessary to incorporate a term for the amount of gas. From observations as simple as blowing up a balloon, it is clear that increasing the amount of gas increases the volume. Q: From observations as simple as blowing up a balloon, it is clear that increasing the amount of gas increases what else? Choices: - area - every volume - the shift - the volume A:
Answer: the volume

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The thermometer was developed a short time after the barometer made it possible to study pressure in a quantitative manner. Although crude thermometers had been available for quite some time, Daniel Fahrenheit constructed a more accurate thermometer in 1724 using mercury in glass. Because the height of the mercury in the thermometer was a relative measure, certain fixed points needed to be defined. Originally, Fahrenheit defined a 1:1:1 mixture of ice, salt, and ammonium chloride as 0F, and the freezing/melting point of ice as 32F. On this scale, the normal temperature of the human body is 96F, and the boiling point of water is 212C. The modern Fahrenheit scale is defined in terms of the normal freezing and boiling points of water. Q: What instrument made it possible to study pressure quantitatively? Choices: - anemometer - seismograph - thermometer - barometer A:
**Answer**
barometer
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The oceans are most polluted along coasts. Why do you think that's the case? Of course, it's because most pollution enters the oceans from the land. Runoff and rivers carry the majority of pollution into the ocean. Many cities dump their wastewater , water mixed with waste, directly into coastal waters. In some parts of the world, raw sewage and trash may be thrown into the water ( Figure below ). Coastal water may become so polluted that people get sick if they swim in it or eat seafood from it. The polluted water may also kill fish and other ocean life. Q: Where are the oceans most polluted? Choices: - in warmer waters - on the ocean floor - along reefs - along coasts A:
A: along coasts
