Answer the following question given this paragraph: Although the speed of light is constant in a vacuum, light travels at different speeds in different kinds of matter. For example, light travels more slowly in glass than in air. Therefore, when light passes from air to glass, it slows down. If light strikes a sheet of glass straight on, or perpendicular to the glass, it slows down but passes straight through. However, if light enters the glass at an angle other than 90, the wave refracts, or bends. This is illustrated in Figure below . How much light bends when it enters a new medium depends on how much it changes speed. The greater the change in speed, the more light bends. Q: While light travels at different speeds in different kinds of matter, the speed of light is constant in what condition? Choices: - outer space - through glass - under water - vacuum A:
vacuum

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Most ocean waves are caused by winds. The size of a wave depends on how fast, how far, and how long the wind blows. Tsunamis are waves caused by earthquakes. Q: What is the cause of most ocean waves? Choices: - tides - Magnetic pull - Gravity - winds A:
(Answer)
winds
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 17.4 The Thyroid Gland The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in the neck anterior to the trachea. Its hormones regulate basal metabolism, oxygen use, nutrient metabolism, the production of ATP, and calcium homeostasis. They also contribute to protein synthesis and the normal growth and development of body tissues, including maturation of the nervous system, and they increase the body's sensitivity to catecholamines. The thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) are produced and secreted by the thyroid gland in response to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary. Synthesis of the amino acidderived T3 and T4 hormones requires iodine. Insufficient amounts of iodine in the diet can lead to goiter, cretinism, and many other disorders. Q: What gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in the neck anterior to the trachea? Choices: - pituitary gland - pineal gland - adrenal gland - thyroid gland A:
Ans: thyroid gland

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Neutralization reactions between an acid and a base yield a salt and water. In some cases, this results in a completely neutral solution. However, some salts are weakly acidic or basic. How can we tell whether a given salt will act as an acid or base? Looking at the relative strengths of the acid and base that were used to form the salt can give us information on the acid-base properties of the resulting solution. Q: What kind of reactions between an acid and a base yield a salt and water? Choices: - oxidation - evaporation - distillation - neutralization A:
(A).
neutralization
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Aqua regia, a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, is one of the few materials that will dissolve gold. This material, translated to "royal water" in English, was named so because it could dissolve the royal metal gold. First noted in the fourteenth century, aqua regia could be used to help ascertain whether a particular material was actually gold or was some trickery of the alchemist. Nitric acid by itself will not dissolve gold, but will in combination with hydrochloric acid. The chemistry of the process is rather complex, with both acids reacting with the metal to form soluble gold compounds. The gold can be recovered from the solution, making the process useful for purification purposes. Q: What a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid? Choices: - crystal regia - acidus regia - sulfate regia - aqua regia A:

Ans:aqua regia
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Right Atrium The right atrium serves as the receiving chamber for blood returning to the heart from the systemic circulation. The two major systemic veins, the superior and inferior venae cavae, and the large coronary vein called the coronary sinus that drains the heart myocardium empty into the right atrium. The superior vena cava drains blood from regions superior to the diaphragm: the head, neck, upper limbs, and the thoracic region. It empties into the superior and posterior portions of the right atrium. The inferior vena cava drains blood from areas inferior to the diaphragm: the lower limbs and abdominopelvic region of the body. It, too, empties into the posterior portion of the atria, but inferior to the opening of the superior vena cava. Immediately superior and slightly medial to the opening of the inferior vena cava on the posterior surface of the atrium is the opening of the coronary sinus. This thin-walled vessel drains most of the coronary veins that return systemic blood from the heart. The majority of the internal heart structures discussed in this and subsequent sections are illustrated in Figure 19.9. While the bulk of the internal surface of the right atrium is smooth, the depression of the fossa ovalis is medial, and the anterior surface demonstrates prominent ridges of muscle called the pectinate muscles. The right auricle also has pectinate muscles. The left atrium does not have pectinate muscles except in the auricle. The atria receive venous blood on a nearly continuous basis, preventing venous flow from stopping while the ventricles are contracting. While most ventricular filling occurs while the atria are relaxed, they do demonstrate a contractile phase and actively pump blood into the ventricles just prior to ventricular contraction. The opening between the atrium and ventricle is guarded by the tricuspid valve. Q: What guards the opening between the right atrium and the right ventricle? Choices: - superior vena cava - brachiocephalic trunk - aorta - tricuspid valve A:
Answer:
tricuspid valve
