Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Salivary Glands Many small salivary glands are housed within the mucous membranes of the mouth and tongue. These minor exocrine glands are constantly secreting saliva, either directly into the oral cavity or indirectly through ducts, even while you sleep. In fact, an average of 1 to 1.5 liters of saliva is secreted each day. Usually just enough saliva is present to moisten the mouth and teeth. Secretion increases when you eat, because saliva is essential to moisten food and initiate the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates. Small amounts of saliva are also secreted by the labial glands in the lips. In addition, the buccal glands in the cheeks, palatal glands in the palate, and lingual glands in the tongue help ensure that all areas of the mouth are supplied with adequate saliva. Q: What small glands are abundant within the mucous membranes of the mouth and tongue? Choices: - hypothalamus glands - retinal glands - localized glands - salivary glands A:
salivary glands
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Many cancerous cells are the products of normal cells that have lost the ability to regulate the cell cycle. The genes that encode the proteins involved in cell cycle regulation have mutations. One category of genes, called oncogenes, accelerate the cell cycle. Some cancers can be inherited, such as breast cancer (due to mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes). Approximately five to ten percent of cancers are entirely hereditary. Other cancers are triggered by an environmental stimulus, such as through the relationship between tobacco smoke and lung cancer, or ultraviolet radiation and skin cancer. Q: What type of cells are often the product of normal cells that have lost the ability to regulate the cell cycle? Choices: - corrosive cells - uncontrolled cells - sick cells - cancerous cells A:
cancerous cells

Choices: - processes particles - stocks particles - phases particles - transports particles A:
A: transports particles

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Wind-blown pollen might land anywhere and be wasted. Another adaptation solved this problem. Plants evolved traits that attract specific animal pollinators . Like the bee in Figure below , a pollinator picks up pollen on its body and carries it directly to another plant of the same species. This greatly increases the chance that fertilization will occur. Q: What does a pollinator pick from its body and carry directly to another plant of the same species? Choices: - spore - pathogen - egg - pollen A:
**Answer**
pollen
