Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Most prokaryotes get both energy and carbon from other living things. Many of them are decomposers. They break down wastes and remains of dead organisms. In this way, they help to recycle carbon and nitrogen through ecosystems. Q: By breaking down wastes and remains of dead organisms, decomposers perform what function in an ecosystem? Choices: - reproduction - symbiosis - collecting - recycling A:
Ans: recycling

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 8.3 The Pelvic Girdle and Pelvis The pelvic girdle, consisting of a hip bone, serves to attach a lower limb to the axial skeleton. The hip bone articulates posteriorly at the sacroiliac joint with the sacrum, which is part of the axial skeleton. The right and left hip bones converge anteriorly and articulate with each other at the pubic symphysis. The combination of the hip bone, the sacrum, and the coccyx forms the pelvis. The pelvis has a pronounced anterior tilt. The primary function of the pelvis is to support the upper body and transfer body weight to the lower limbs. It also serves as the site of attachment for multiple muscles. The hip bone consists of three regions: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. The ilium forms the large, fan-like region of the hip bone. The superior margin of this area is the iliac crest. Located at either end of the iliac crest are the anterior superior and posterior superior iliac spines. Inferior to these are the anterior inferior and posterior inferior iliac spines. The auricular surface of the ilium articulates with the sacrum to form the sacroiliac joint. The medial surface of the upper ilium forms the iliac fossa, with the arcuate line marking the inferior limit of this area. The posterior margin of the ilium has the large greater sciatic notch. Q: The pelvic girdle, consisting of a hip bone, serves to attach a lower limb to this? Choices: - exoskeleton - appendicular skeleton - cytoskeleton - axial skeleton A:
Ans: axial skeleton

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: Sodium-potassium pumps help nerve cells establish a voltage across their what? Choices: - potassium membranes - sodium membranes - cell walls - plasma membranes A:
Ans: plasma membranes

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A common method of producing charge in the lab is to rub cat or rabbit fur against stiff rubber, producing a negative charge on the rubber rod. If you hold a rubber rod on one end and rub only the tip of the other end with a fur, you will find that only the tip becomes charged. The electrons you add to the tip of the rod remain where you put them instead of moving around on the rod. Rubber is an insulator. Insulators are substances that do not allow electrons to move through them. Glass, dry wood, most plastics, cloth, and dry air are common insulators. Materials that allow electrons to flow freely are called conductors. Metals have at least one electron that can move around freely, and all metals are conductors. Q: Rubber is an example of what type of substances that do not allow electrons to move through them? Choices: - conductor - semi-conductor - solids - insulators A:
Ans:
insulators
