Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Every object has a center of gravity . The center of gravity is the point at which the entire weight of a body may be considered to be concentrated; if supported at this point, the body would remain in equilibrium in any position. For example, if we were discussing a 12-inch ruler, the center of gravity for the ruler would be at the center of the 6-inch line. You could put your finger directly under the 6-inch line to hold the ruler and it would not fall either left or right. If you placed your finger underneath any other place on the ruler, it would fall off to one side or the other. Q: What do you call the point at which the entire weight of a body may be considered to be concentrated? Choices: - center of earth - complex of gravity - direction of gravity - center of gravity A:
A: center of gravity

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Diuretics and Fluid Volume A diuretic is a compound that increases urine volume. Three familiar drinks contain diuretic compounds: coffee, tea, and alcohol. The caffeine in coffee and tea works by promoting vasodilation in the nephron, which increases GFR. Alcohol increases GFR by inhibiting ADH release from the posterior pituitary, resulting in less water recovery by the collecting duct. In cases of high blood pressure, diuretics may be prescribed to reduce blood volume and, thereby, reduce blood pressure. The most frequently prescribed anti-hypertensive diuretic is hydrochlorothiazide. It inhibits the Na+/ Cl symporter in the DCT and collecting duct. The result is a loss of Na+ with water following passively by osmosis. Osmotic diuretics promote water loss by osmosis. An example is the indigestible sugar mannitol, which is most often administered to reduce brain swelling after head injury. However, it is not the only sugar that can produce a diuretic effect. In cases of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, glucose levels exceed the capacity of the tubular glucose symporters, resulting in glucose in the urine. The unrecovered glucose becomes a powerful osmotic diuretic. Classically, in the days before glucose could be detected in the blood and urine, clinicians identified diabetes mellitus by the three Ps: polyuria (diuresis), polydipsia (increased thirst), and polyphagia (increased hunger). Q: What kind of compound, contained in coffee and alcohol, increases urine volume? Choices: - anabolic - acid - additive - diuretic A:
A: diuretic

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: There is a predictable amount of solute that can be dissolved at a specific temperature. Q: There is a predictable amount of solute that can be dissolved at what? Choices: - flat rate - light speed - room temperature - specific temperature A:
A: specific temperature

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Consider a gigantic tub filled with water as shown below. A column of water with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 m 2 is designated. If we multiply the cross-sectional area by the height of the column, we get the volume of water in this column. We can then multiply this volume by the density of water, 1000. kg/m 3 , and get the mass of water in the column. We then multiply this mass by the acceleration due to gravity, , to get the weight of the water in this column. Q: What do you get by multiplying volume by the density of water? Choices: - velocity of water - temperature of water - weight of water - mass of water A:
A: mass of water
