Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cnidarians include jellyfish and corals. They are aquatic invertebrates. They have tissues and radial symmetry. They also have tentacles with stingers. There are two cnidarian body plans: the polyp and the medusa. They differ in several ways. Many corals secrete an exoskeleton that builds up to become a coral reef. Q: What do corals secrete that builds up to become a coral reef? Choices: - membrane - mucous - scales - exoskeleton A:
exoskeleton
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The only obvious difference between boys and girls at birth is their reproductive organs. However, even the reproductive organs start out the same in both sexes. Q: The only obvious difference between boys and girls at birth is what type of organs? Choices: - digestive - respiratory - nervous - reproductive A:
reproductive
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Birds have a sac-like structure called a crop to store and moisten food that is waiting to be digested. They also have an organ called a gizzard that contains swallowed stones. The stones make up for the lack of teeth by grinding food, which can then be digested more quickly. Both structures make it easier for the digestive system to produce a steady supply of nutrients from food. Q: Where do birds store and moisten food that is waiting to be digested? Choices: - nest - tree - gullet - crop A:
A: crop
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Weather makes life interesting. Weather also causes weathering. Weathering is the slow wearing down of rocks on Earth's surface. Wind-blown sand scours rocks like sandpaper. Glaciers of ice scrape across rock surfaces like a file. Even gentle rain may seep into rocks and slowly dissolve them. If the water freezes, it expands. This eventually causes the rocks to crack. Without the atmosphere, none of this weathering would happen. Rocks at the surface would be pristine and unaltered. Q: What is the term for the slow wearing down of rocks on earth's surface? Choices: - slipping - evaporation - experiencing - weathering A:
Answer: weathering

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure below shows those distances correctly. In the upper left are the orbits of the inner planets and the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is a collection of many small objects between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. In the upper right are the orbits of the outer planets and the Kuiper belt. The Kuiper belt is a group of objects beyond the orbit of Neptune. Q: Which planet is the kuiper belt closest to? Choices: - Mars - Jupiter - Venus - neptune A:
**Answer**
neptune

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The knee includes three articulations. The femoropatellar joint is between the patella and distal femur. The patella, a sesamoid bone incorporated into the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle of the anterior thigh, serves to protect this tendon from rubbing against the distal femur during knee movements. The medial and lateral tibiofemoral joints, between the condyles of the femur and condyles of the tibia, are modified hinge joints that allow for knee extension and flexion. During these movements, the condyles of the femur both roll and glide over the surface of the tibia. As the knee comes into full extension, a slight medial rotation of the femur serves to "lock" the knee into its most stable, weight-bearing position. The reverse motion, a small lateral rotation of the femur, is required to initiate knee flexion. When the knee is flexed, some rotation of the leg is available. Two extrinsic ligaments, the tibial collateral ligament on the medial side and the fibular collateral ligament on the lateral side, serve to resist hyperextension or rotation of the extended knee joint. Two intracapsular ligaments, the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament, span between the tibia and the inner aspects of the femoral condyles. The anterior cruciate ligament resists hyperextension of the knee, while the posterior cruciate ligament prevents anterior sliding of the femur, thus supporting the knee when it is flexed and weight bearing. The medial and lateral menisci, located between the femoral and tibial condyles, are articular discs that provide padding and improve the fit between the bones. The talocrural joint forms the ankle. It consists of the articulation between the talus bone and the medial malleolus of the tibia, the distal end of the tibia, and the lateral malleolus of the fibula. This is a uniaxial hinge joint that allows only dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of the foot. Gliding motions at the subtalar and intertarsal joints of the foot allow for inversion/eversion of the foot. The... Q: What body part boasts three articulations and includes the patella? Choices: - ankle - hip - elbow - knee A:
(A).
