Answer the following question given this paragraph: To sterilize a 50.0-g glass baby bottle, we must raise its temperature from 22.0C to 95.0C . How much heat transfer is required? 4. The same heat transfer into identical masses of different substances produces different temperature changes. Calculate the final temperature when 1.00 kcal of heat transfers into 1.00 kg of the following, originally at 20.0C : (a) water; (b) concrete; (c) steel; and (d) mercury. Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. If a woman rubs her hands back and forth for a total of 20 rubs, at a distance of 7.50 cm per rub, and with an average frictional force of 40.0 N, what is the temperature increase? The mass of tissues warmed is only 0.100 kg, mostly in the palms and fingers. A 0.250-kg block of a pure material is heated from. Q: Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into what energy? Choices: - kinetic energy - motion energy - layer energy - thermal energy A:
thermal energy
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Parts of a Neuron As you learned in the first section, the main part of a neuron is the cell body, which is also known as the soma (soma = "body"). The cell body contains the nucleus and most of the major organelles. But what makes neurons special is that they have many extensions of their cell membranes, which are generally referred to as processes. Neurons are usually described as having one, and only one, axona fiber that emerges from the cell body and projects to target cells. That single axon can branch repeatedly to communicate with many target cells. It is the axon that propagates the nerve impulse, which is communicated to one or more cells. The other processes of the neuron are dendrites, which receive information from other neurons at specialized areas of contact called synapses. The dendrites are usually highly branched processes, providing locations for other neurons to communicate with the cell body. Information flows through a neuron from the dendrites, across the cell body, and down the axon. This gives the neuron a polaritymeaning that information flows in this one direction. Figure 12.8 shows the relationship of these parts to one another. Q: Which part of a neuron contains the nucleus and most of the major organelles? Choices: - organ body - simple body - retinal body - cell body A:
cell body
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Chromosome Structural Rearrangements Cytologists have characterized numerous structural rearrangements in chromosomes, including partial duplications, deletions, inversions, and translocations. Duplications and deletions often produce offspring that survive but exhibit physical and mental abnormalities. Cri-du-chat (from the French for "cry of the cat") is a syndrome associated with nervous system abnormalities and identifiable physical features that results from a deletion of most of the small arm of chromosome 5 (Figure 7.11). Infants with this genotype emit a characteristic high-pitched cry upon which the disorder's name is based. Q: Structural rearrangements of what include partial duplications, deletions, inversions, and translocations; duplications and deletions often produce offspring that survive but exhibit physical and mental abnormalities? Choices: - neutrons - phenotypes - cells - chromosomes A:
A: chromosomes
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: An atmosphere is the gases that surround a planet. The early Earth had no atmosphere. Conditions were so hot that gases were not stable. Q: What is the term for the gases that surround a planet? Choices: - hemisphere - galaxy - biosphere - the atmosphere A:
Answer: the atmosphere
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Most ecosystems get their energy from the Sun. Only producers can use sunlight to make usable energy. Producers convert the sunlight into chemical energy or food. Consumers get some of that energy when they eat producers. They also pass some of the energy on to other consumers when they are eaten. In this way, energy flows from one living thing to another. Q: Where do most ecosystems get their energy from? Choices: - earth - heat - water - sun A:
**Answer**
sun

Answer the following question given this paragraph: 6.3 The Laws of Thermodynamics In studying energy, scientists use the term "system" to refer to the matter and its environment involved in energy transfers. Everything outside of the system is called the surroundings. Single cells are biological systems. Systems can be thought of as having a certain amount of order. It takes energy to make a system more ordered. The more ordered a system is, the lower its entropy. Entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. As a system becomes more disordered, the lower its energy and the higher its entropy become. A series of laws, called the laws of thermodynamics, describe the properties and processes of energy transfer. The first law states that the total amount of energy in the universe is constant. This means that energy can't be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed. The second law of thermodynamics states that every energy transfer involves some loss of energy in an unusable form, such as heat energy, resulting in a more disordered system. In other words, no energy transfer is completely efficient and tends toward disorder. Q: In studying energy, what term do scientists use to refer to the matter and its environment involved in energy transfers? Choices: - molecule - ecosystem - world - system A:
(A).
system
