Answer the following question given this paragraph: The most widely accepted theory explaining how muscle fibers contract is called the sliding filament theory . According to this theory, myosin filaments use energy from ATP to "walk" along the actin filaments with their cross bridges. This pulls the actin filaments closer together. The movement of the actin filaments also pulls the Z lines closer together, thus shortening the sarcomere. Q: What is the most widely accepted theory explaining how muscle fibers contract? Choices: - sliding pigment theoery - sliding tritium theory - sliding carbon theory - sliding filament theory A:
sliding filament theory
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Visible light is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. There are parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans cannot see. This radiation exists all around you. You just can't see it! Every star, including our Sun, emits radiation of many wavelengths. Astronomers can learn a lot from studying the details of the spectrum of radiation from a star. Q: What does every star emit that humans cannot see? Choices: - sound - light - dust - radiation A:
radiation
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Because they cannot escape the container, the vapor molecules above the surface of the liquid exert a pressure on the walls of the container. The vapor pressure is a measure of the presure (force per unit area) exerted by a gas above a liquid in a sealed container. Vapor pressure is a property of a liquid based on the strength of its intermolecular forces. A liquid with weak intermolecular forces evaporates more easily and has a high vapor pressure. A liquid with stronger intermolecular forces does not evaporate easily and thus has a lower vapor pressure. For example, diethyl ether is a nonpolar liquid with weak dispersion forces. Its vapor pressure at 20C is 58.96 kPa. Water is a polar liquid whose molecules are attracted to one another by relatively strong hydrogen bonding. The vapor pressure of water at 20C is only 2.33 kPa, far less than that of diethyl ether. Q: What term describes a property of a liquid based on the strength of its intermolecular forces? Choices: - analogous pressure - cellular pressure - tissue pressure - vapor pressure A:
A: vapor pressure
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Plants that live in extremely dry environments have the opposite problem: how to get and keep water. Plants that are adapted to very dry environments are called xerophytes . Their adaptations may help them increase water intake, decrease water loss, or store water when it is available. Q: Plants that live in the desert are called? Choices: - xerozoans - heatophiles - sporozoans - xerophytes A:
Answer: xerophytes

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Summary A measure of the disorder of a system is its entropy (S), a state function whose value increases with an increase in the number of available microstates. Areversible process is one for which all intermediate states between extremes are equilibrium states; it can change direction at any time. In contrast, anirreversible process occurs in one direction only. The change in entropy of the system or the surroundings is the quantity of heat transferred divided by the temperature. The second law of thermodynamics states that in a reversible process, the entropy of the universe is constant, whereas in an irreversible process, such as the transfer of heat from a hot object to a cold object, the entropy of the universe increases. Q: A measure of the disorder of a system is called its what? Choices: - lose - spectral - function - entropy A:
**Answer**
entropy
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The surface tension of water is illustrated by a number of common occurrences. For example, water spiders are able to walk across bodies of water because of surface tension. Even though the spiders are denser than water, they do not sink, because the small amount of weight pressing down on the surface is not enough to break the strong hydrogen bonds that hold the surface together. Q: The ability of a water spider to walk across a body of water is an example of what? Choices: - high density - low gravity - magnetism - surface tension A:
(A).
surface tension
