Answer the following question given this paragraph: The sugar of one nucleotide binds to the phosphate group of the next nucleotide. Alternating sugars and phosphate groups form the backbone of a nucleotide chain, as shown in Figure below . The bases, which are bound to the sugars, protrude from the backbone of the chain. In DNA, pairs of bases-one from each of two nucleotides-form the middle section of the molecule. Q: The sugar of one nucleotide binds to what group of the next nucleotide? Choices: - the alkaline - the chloride - the protein - the phosphate A:
the phosphate
Answer the following question given this paragraph: 19.5 Development of the Heart The heart is the first organ to form and become functional, emphasizing the importance of transport of material to and from the developing infant. It originates about day 18 or 19 from the mesoderm and begins beating and pumping blood about day 21 or 22. It forms from the cardiogenic region near the head and is visible as a prominent heart bulge on the surface of the embryo. Originally, it consists of a pair of strands called cardiogenic cords that quickly form a hollow lumen and are referred to as endocardial tubes. These then fuse into a single heart tube and differentiate into the truncus arteriosus, bulbus cordis, primitive ventricle, primitive atrium, and sinus venosus, starting about day 22. The primitive heart begins to form an S shape within the pericardium between days 23 and 28. The internal septa begin to form about day 28, separating the heart into the atria and ventricles, although the foramen ovale persists until shortly after birth. Between weeks five and eight, the atrioventricular valves form. The semilunar valves form between weeks five and nine. Q: In humans, what is the first organ to form and become functional? Choices: - brain - liver - pancreas - heart A:
heart
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: To determine the overall voltage of a particular voltaic cell, simply combine the voltages of the oxidation and reduction half reactions. Even if you need to take a multiple of a half reaction for the electrons to cancel, do not take the multiple of the E1/2. Use the values directly as is from - ball-ch14_s03_t01. Spontaneous redox reactions have positive overall voltages. If the voltage of the reaction as written is negative, it is not spontaneous in that direction. Rather, the reverse reaction is the spontaneous redox reaction. Q: Combining the voltages of the oxidation and reduction half reactions helps to determine what? Choices: - slimy - moisture - magnetic - voltage A:
A: voltage
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The speed of a wave is a product of its wavelength and frequency. Because the speed of electromagnetic waves through space is constant, the wavelength or frequency of an electromagnetic wave can be calculated if the other value is known. Q: The speed of a wave is a product of its wavelength and what else? Choices: - voltage - density - magnitude - frequency A:
Answer: frequency
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Altitude is height above sea level. The density of air decreases with height. There are two reasons. At higher altitudes, there is less air pushing down from above. Also, gravity is weaker farther from Earth's center. So at higher altitudes, air molecules can spread out more. Air density decreases. You can see this in Figure below . Q: Altitude is height above what? Choices: - the earth's core - the earth's surface - the water table - sea level A:
**Answer**
sea level
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Symbiosis is a close relationship between two species in which at least one species benefits. Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit. Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other species is not affected. Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species (the parasite) benefits while the other species (the host) is harmed. Q: What type of interspecies relationship involves one party being actively harmed? Choices: - mosaicism - symbiosis - mutualism - parasitism A:
A: parasitism
