Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Most of the body's resistance is in its dry skin. When wet, salts go into ion form, lowering the resistance significantly. The interior of the body has a much lower resistance than dry skin because of all the ionic solutions and fluids it contains. If skin resistance is bypassed, such as by an intravenous infusion, a catheter, or exposed pacemaker leads, a person is rendered microshock sensitive. In this condition, currents about 1/1000 those listed in Table 20.3 produce similar effects. During open-heart surgery, currents as small as 20 A can be used to still the heart. Stringent electrical safety requirements in hospitals, particularly in surgery and intensive care, are related to the doubly disadvantaged microshock-sensitive patient. The break in the skin has reduced his resistance, and so the same voltage causes a greater current, and a much smaller current has a greater effect. Q: What is lowered when salts go into ion form? Choices: - charge - voltage - power - resistance A:
Answer: resistance

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: Red-green color blindness is an example of a sex-linked condition caused by what? Choices: - phenotype - dominant gene - genetic disorder - recessive allele A:
Answer: recessive allele

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Fungi used to be classified as plants. Now, they are known to have unique traits that set them apart from plants. For example, their cell walls contain chitin, not cellulose, and fungi absorb food rather than make their own. Below the level of the kingdom, fungi classification is controversial. Q: Once classified as plants, fungi have chitin rather than cellulose in what cell structures? Choices: - platelets - cell ridges - mitochondria - cell walls A:
Answer:
cell walls
