Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Epidermis The epidermis is composed of keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium. It is made of four or five layers of epithelial cells, depending on its location in the body. It does not have any blood vessels within it (i. , it is avascular). Skin that has four layers of cells is referred to as "thin skin. " From deep to superficial, these layers are the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, and stratum corneum. Most of the skin can be classified as thin skin. "Thick skin" is found only on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. It has a fifth layer, called the stratum lucidum, located between the stratum corneum and the stratum granulosum (Figure 5.3). Q: The thick skin, found only on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, has an extra what? Choices: - surface - Skin - outer - layer A:
layer

Answer the following question given this paragraph: At certain times of year, a stream or river may overflow its banks. The area of land that is flooded is called the floodplain. The floodplain may be very wide where the river flows over a nearly flat surface. Q: At certain times of year, a stream or river may overflow its banks. what is the area of land that is flooded called? Choices: - inlet - run off - lowland - floodplain A:
(Answer)
floodplain
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The physical state and properties of a particular compound depend in large part on the type of chemical bonding it displays. Molecular compounds , sometimes called covalent compounds, display a wide range of physical properties due to the different types of intermolecular attractions such as different kinds of polar interactions. The melting and boiling points of molecular compounds are generally quite low compared to those of ionic compounds . This is because the energy required to disrupt the intermolecular forces between molecules is far less than the energy required to break the ionic bonds in a crystalline ionic compound. Since molecular compounds are composed of neutral molecules, their electrical conductivity is generally quite poor, whether in the solid or liquid state. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state because of their rigid structure, but conduct well when either molten or dissolved into a solution. The water solubility of molecular compounds is variable and depends primarily on the type of intermolecular forces involved. Substances that exhibit hydrogen bonding or dipole-dipole forces are generally water soluble, whereas those that exhibit only London dispersion forces are generally insoluble. Most, but not all, ionic compounds are quite soluble in water. Table below summarizes some of the differences between ionic and molecular compounds. Q: What is another name for molecular compounds? Choices: - phenotype compounds - oxidized compounds - synthetic compounds - covalent compounds A:
Ans: covalent compounds
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Lipids are organic compounds such as fats and oils. They store energy and help form cell membranes in addition to having other functions in organisms. Q: What are two examples of lipids? Choices: - vitamins and fatty acid - adipose tissue and olive oil - defects and oils - fats and oils A:
(A).
fats and oils
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Bases are ionic compounds consisting of hydroxide ions and a cation. Naming and formula writing for bases follows the same guidelines as for other ionic compounds. Q: Bases are ionic compounds consisting of hydroxide ions and a what? Choices: - cinion - carbonate - sulfate - cation A:

Ans:cation
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Hearing loss caused by loud sounds is permanent. However, this type of hearing loss can be prevented by protecting the ears from loud sounds. Q: What do the ears have to be protected from in order to avoid hearing loss? Choices: - Cold weather - Water - Storms - loud sounds A:
loud sounds
