Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What is the name for the water-splitting step of photosynthesis? Choices: - hydrolysis - peristalsis - cellular respiration - photolysis A:
photolysis
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Did you ever see a cat chase after a laser light, like the one in Figure below ? A laser is a device that produces a very focused beam of visible light of just one wavelength and color. Waves of laser light are synchronized so the crests and troughs of the waves line up. The diagram in Figure below shows why a beam of laser light is so focused compared with ordinary light from a flashlight. Q: What do you call a device that produces a very focused beam of visible light of just one wavelength and color? Choices: - optical diffuser - fusion relay - light meter - laser A:
laser
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: When the ventricles begin to contract, pressure within the ventricles rises and blood flows toward the area of lowest pressure, which is initially in the atria. This backflow causes the cusps of the tricuspid and mitral (bicuspid) valves to close. These valves are tied down to the papillary muscles by chordae tendineae. During the relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle, the papillary muscles are also relaxed and the tension on the chordae tendineae is slight (see Figure 19.13b). However, as the myocardium of the ventricle contracts, so do the papillary muscles. This creates tension on the chordae tendineae (see Figure 19.14b), helping to hold the cusps of the atrioventricular valves in place and preventing them from being blown back into the atria. The aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves lack the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles associated with the atrioventricular valves. Instead, they consist of pocket-like folds of endocardium reinforced with additional connective tissue. When the ventricles relax and the change in pressure forces the blood toward the ventricles, the blood presses against these cusps and seals the openings. Q: When the ventricles begin to contract, pressure within the ventricles rises and blood flows toward the area of lowest pressure, which is initially in the atria. this backflow causes the cusps of the tricuspid and mitral (bicuspid) valves to close. these valves are tied down to the papillary muscles by these? Choices: - chollphyide tendineae - choanocyte tendineae - photoreactive tendineae - chordae tendineae A:
A: chordae tendineae
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 36.2 Somatosensation Somatosensation includes all sensation received from the skin and mucous membranes, as well as from the limbs and joints. Somatosensation occurs all over the exterior of the body and at some interior locations as well, and a variety of receptor types, embedded in the skin and mucous membranes, play a role. There are several types of specialized sensory receptors. Rapidly adapting free nerve endings detect nociception, hot and cold, and light touch. Slowly adapting, encapsulated Merkel's disks are found in fingertips and lips, and respond to light touch. Meissner's corpuscles, found in glabrous skin, are rapidly adapting, encapsulated receptors that detect touch, lowfrequency vibration, and flutter. Ruffini endings are slowly adapting, encapsulated receptors that detect skin stretch, joint activity, and warmth. Hair receptors are rapidly adapting nerve endings wrapped around the base of hair follicles that. Q: Somatosensation includes all sensation received from the skin and mucous membranes, as well as from these? Choices: - organs - five senses - glial cells - limbs and joints A:
Answer: limbs and joints
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The most common type of brain injury is a concussion. This is a bruise on the surface of the brain. It may cause temporary symptoms such as headache and confusion. Most concussions heal on their own in a few days or weeks. However, repeated concussions can lead to permanent changes in the brain. More serious brain injuries also often cause permanent brain damage. Q: What is the most common type of brain injury? Choices: - Diffuse Axonal - Anoxic Event - Contusion - concussion A:
**Answer**
concussion
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What part of a chromosome exists in different states of condensation at different times? Choices: - centromeres - pellicle - chromonema - the chromatin A:
A: the chromatin
