Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sound waves are mechanical waves, and mechanical waves can only travel through matter. The matter through which the waves travel is called the medium (plural, media). The Table below gives the speed of sound in several different media. Generally, sound waves travel most quickly through solids, followed by liquids, and then by gases. Particles of matter are closest together in solids and farthest apart in gases. When particles are closer together, they can more quickly pass the energy of vibrations to nearby particles. You can explore the speed of sound in different media at this URL:. Q: What is the matter through which sound waves travel? A:
Answer: medium

Problem:OPTIONS:
- tissues
- lungs
- arteries
- kidneys

Answer the following question given this paragraph: A person can live a normal, healthy life with just one kidney. However, at least one kidney must function properly to maintain life. Diseases that threaten the health and functioning of the kidneys include kidney stones, infections, and diabetes. Q: Stones, infections, and diabetes threaten the health and functioning of what paired organs? A:
****
A: kidneys

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Scientists think that protists are the oldest eukaryotes. If so, they must have evolved from prokaryotic cells. How did this happen? The endosymbiotic theory provides the most widely-accepted explanation. That's because it is well supported by evidence. Q: What do many scientists think are the oldest eukaryotes? A:
OPTIONS:
- prokaryotes
- plants
- arthropods
- protists
protists

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Monotremes reproduce by laying eggs. They have a cloaca instead of a uterus and vagina. The eggs pass through the opening of the cloaca. This form of reproduction is the least risky for the mother. However, eggs are harder to protect than is an embryo or a fetus in a pouch or uterus. Therefore, monotreme offspring may have a lower chance of surviving than the offspring of therian mammals. Q: How do basal mammals like monotreme reproduce? A:
OPTIONS:
- cloning
- budding
- live birth
- by laying eggs

Answer: by laying eggs

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: HIV spreads through contact between an infected person's body fluids and another person's bloodstream or mucus membranes, which are found in the mouth, nose, and genital areas. Body fluids that may contain HIV are blood, semen, vaginal fluid, and breast milk. The virus can spread through sexual contact or shared drug needles. It can also spread from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth or breastfeeding. Saliva can carry the HIV virus, but it won't spread it, unless the saliva gets into the bloodstream. Other body fluids such as urine and sweat do not contain the virus. HIV does not spread in any fluid in which the host cells cannot survive. Q: Saliva can carry the hiv virus, but it won't spread it, unless the saliva gets into what? A:
OPTIONS:
- lungs
- kidneys
- liver
- bloodstream
Answer: bloodstream

- environmental Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Does everyone who smokes develop lung cancer? No, of course not. Is it possible to get lung cancer without smoking? Sadly, yes it is. That's not to say there is no relationship between the two: smoking is still the leading cause of lung cancer. But it does suggest that a person's genetic background has a role in this process. Apart form true single gene disorders, environmental factors, or environmental triggers , may determine the development of disease in individuals genetically predisposed to a particular condition. Environmental triggers may include stress, physical and mental abuse, diet, exposure to toxins, pathogens, and radiation. Many cancers are thought to have an environmental component. It has been suggested that environmental factors play a role in autism as well. Asthma is obviously triggered under certain environmental conditions. Q: Many cancers, as well as autism, are thought to have what component, which is certainly a factor in asthma? A:
A:
output:
environmental
