Answer the following question given this paragraph: Chapter 9 1 Although they are still growing, the carpal bones of the wrist area do not show an epiphyseal plate. Instead of elongating, these bones grow in diameter by adding new bone to their surfaces. 3 Gout is due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the body. Usually these accumulate within joints, causing joint pain. This patient also had crystals that accumulated in the space next to his spinal cord, thus compressing the spinal cord and causing muscle weakness. 5 The immune system malfunctions and attacks healthy cells in the lining of your joints. This causes inflammation and pain in the joints and surrounding tissues. 7 The first motion is rotation (hinging) of the mandible, but this only produces about 20 mm (0.78 in) of mouth opening. 9 The glenoid labrum is wedge-shaped in cross-section. This is important because it creates an elevated rim around the glenoid cavity, which creates a deeper socket for the head of the humerus to fit into. 11 The articular cartilage functions to absorb shock and to provide an extremely smooth surface that makes movement between bones easy, without damaging the bones. 13 The articular cartilage is thickest in the upper and back part of the acetabulum, the socket portion of the hip joint. These regions receive most of the force from the head of the femur during walking and running. 15 The anterior cruciate ligament prevents the tibia from sliding too far forward in relation to the femur and the posterior cruciate ligament keeps the tibia from sliding too far backward. 17 The ligaments of the lateral ankle are the anterior and posterior talofibular ligaments and the calcaneofibular ligament. These ligaments support the ankle joint and resist excess inversion of the foot. 19 An inversion ankle sprain may injure all three ligaments located on the lateral side of the ankle. The sequence of injury would be the anterior talofibular ligament first, followed by the calcaneofibular ligament second, and finally, the posterior talofibular ligament third. 20 C 22 A 24 A 26 D... Q: The articular cartilage is thickest in the upper and back part of the acetabulum, the socket portion of what? Choices: - elbow - shoulder joint - kneecap - hip joint A:
hip joint
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The water supply can be harmed in two major ways. The water can be polluted, and it can be overused. Protecting the water supply must address both problems. We need to reduce how much pollution ends up in the water supplykeeping water from being polluted is easier and cheaper than cleaning it. We need to treat water that's already polluted. We need to conserve water by using less. Q: What's the best way humans can conserve water? Choices: - boil it - use more - salt it - use less A:
use less
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Small Intestine: Lactose Intolerance Lactose intolerance is a condition characterized by indigestion caused by dairy products. It occurs when the absorptive cells of the small intestine do not produce enough lactase, the enzyme that digests the milk sugar lactose. In most mammals, lactose intolerance increases with age. In contrast, some human populations, most notably Caucasians, are able to maintain the ability to produce lactase as adults. In people with lactose intolerance, the lactose in chyme is not digested. Bacteria in the large intestine ferment the undigested lactose, a process that produces gas. In addition to gas, symptoms include abdominal cramps, bloating, and diarrhea. Symptom severity ranges from mild discomfort to severe pain; however, symptoms resolve once the lactose is eliminated in feces. The hydrogen breath test is used to help diagnose lactose intolerance. Lactose-tolerant people have very little hydrogen in their breath. Those with lactose intolerance exhale hydrogen, which is one of the gases produced by the bacterial fermentation of lactose in the colon. After the hydrogen is absorbed from the intestine, it is transported through blood vessels into the lungs. There are a number of lactose-free dairy products available in grocery stores. In addition, dietary supplements are available. Taken with food, they provide lactase to help digest lactose. Q: Lactose intolerance is a condition characterized by indigestion caused by this? Choices: - fried products - raw products - pasteurized products - dairy products A:
A: dairy products
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: All matter is composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. All atoms of an element are identical in mass and chemical properties, whereas atoms of different elements differ in mass and fundamental chemical properties. A chemical compound is a substance that always contains the same atoms in the same ratio. In chemical reactions, atoms from one or more compounds or elements redistribute or rearrange in relation to other atoms to form one or more new compounds. Atoms themselves do not undergo a change of identity in chemical reactions. This last hypothesis suggested that the alchemists' goal of transmuting other elements to gold was impossible, at least through chemical reactions. We now know that Dalton's atomic theory is essentially correct, with four minor modifications:. Q: All matter is composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. all atoms of an element are identical in mass and this? Choices: - acid properties - liquid properties - electrical properties - chemical properties A:
Answer: chemical properties

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Fungal mycelia. Fungi absorb nutrients from the environment through mycelia. The branching mycelia have a high surface-area-to-volume ratio which allows for efficient absorption of nutrients. Some fungi digest nutrients by releasing enzymes into the environment. Q: Fungi absorb nutrients from the environment through what? Choices: - spores - apothecia - hymenium - mycelia A:
**Answer**
mycelia

Answer the following question given this paragraph: 3.2 | Carbohydrates By the end of this section, you will be able to: Discuss the role of carbohydrates in cells and in the extracellular materials of animals and plants Explain the classifications of carbohydrates List common monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides Most people are familiar with carbohydrates, one type of macromolecule, especially when it comes to what we eat. To lose weight, some individuals adhere to "low-carb" diets. Athletes, in contrast, often "carb-load" before important competitions to ensure that they have enough energy to compete at a high level. Carbohydrates are, in fact, an essential part of our diet; grains, fruits, and vegetables are all natural sources of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates provide energy to the body, particularly through glucose, a simple sugar that is a component of starch and an ingredient in many staple foods. Carbohydrates also have other important functions in humans, animals, and plants. Q: Name the simple sugar that is a component of starch. Choices: - Fructose - Splenda - insulin - glucose A:
(Answer)
glucose
