Answer the following question given this paragraph: In a deciduous plant, leaves seasonally turn color and fall off the plant. They are replaced with new leaves later in the year. Q: What is the type of plant called when its leaves seasonally turn color and fall off? Choices: - conifer - verdant plant - evergreen - deciduous plant A:
deciduous plant
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Like other cells, prokaryotic cells have a plasma membrane (see Figure below ). It controls what enters and leaves the cell. It is also the site of many metabolic reactions. For example, cellular respiration and photosynthesis take place in the plasma membrane. Q: What kind of membrane do prokaryotic cells have? Choices: - cell wall - cellulose - plasma wall - plasma membrane A:
plasma membrane
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The carpal bones form the base of the hand. This can be seen in the radiograph (X-ray image) of the hand that shows the relationships of the hand bones to the skin creases of the hand (see Figure 8.8). Within the carpal bones, the four proximal bones are united to each other by ligaments to form a unit. Only three of these bones, the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum, contribute to the radiocarpal joint. The scaphoid and lunate bones articulate directly with the distal end of the radius, whereas the triquetrum bone articulates with a fibrocartilaginous pad that spans the radius and styloid process of the ulna. The distal end of the ulna thus does not directly articulate with any of the carpal bones. The four distal carpal bones are also held together as a group by ligaments. The proximal and distal rows of carpal bones articulate with each other to form the midcarpal joint (see Figure 8.8). Together, the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints are responsible for all movements of the hand at the wrist. The distal carpal bones also articulate with the metacarpal bones of the hand. Q: The radiocarpal and midcarpal joints are responsible for all movements of the hand and what other part of the body? Choices: - fingers - foot - shoulder - wrist A:
A: wrist
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Viewing distant stars is looking back in time. The stars we see are many thousands of light years away, which means the light takes many thousands of years to reach us. Thus the stars we see in the sky are how they looked thousands of years ago. Q: The distance of stars is measured in what terms, meaning the light takes many thousands of years to reach us? Choices: - light months - light decades - light hours - light years A:
Answer: light years

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Convection currents transfer thermal energy through many fluids, not just hot water in a pot. For example, convection currents transfer thermal energy through molten rock below Earth's surface, through water in the oceans, and through air in the atmosphere. Convection currents in the atmosphere create winds. You can see one way this happens in the Figure below . The land heats up and cools off faster than the water because it has lower specific heat. Therefore, the land gets warmer during the day and cooler at night than the water does. During the day, warm air rises above the land and cool air from the water moves in to take its place. During the night, the opposite happens. Warm air rises above the water and cool air from the land moves out to take its place. Q: Convection generally involves the transfer of what type of energy? Choices: - sunlight - radioactive - magnetic - thermal A:
**Answer**
thermal

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Anglerfish live in the ocean. Aquatic biomes in the ocean are called marine biomes . Organisms that live in marine biomes must be adapted to the salt in the water. For example, many have organs for excreting excess salt. Two ocean zones are particularly challenging to marine organisms: the intertidal zone and the deep ocean. Q: What do you call aquatic biomes in the ocean? Choices: - freshwater biomes - coastal biomes - ocean dwellers - marine biomes A:
(A).
marine biomes
