Answer the following question given this paragraph: The biogeochemical cycle that recycles water is the water cycle. The water cycle involves a series of interconnected pathways involving both the biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere. Water is obviously an extremely important aspect of every ecosystem. Life cannot exist without water. Many organisms contain a large amount of water in their bodies, and many live in water, so the water cycle is essential to life on Earth. Water continuously moves between living organisms, such as plants, and non-living things, such as clouds, rivers, and oceans ( Figure below ). Q: What is the biogeochemical cycle that recycles water called? Choices: - water theory - Liquid Cycle - Water Table - water cycle A:
water cycle
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Polychaetes live on the ocean floor. They may be sedentary filter feeders, active predators, or scavengers. Active species crawl along the ocean floor in search of food. Q: Where do polychaetes live? Choices: - the tundra - great plains - lakes - ocean floor A:
ocean floor
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids. Saturated fatty acids include arachidic, stearic, and palmitic fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids include all the other fatty acids in the figure. Notice how all the unsaturated fatty acids have bent chains, whereas the saturated fatty acids have straight chains. Q: Arachidic, stearic, and palmitic fatty acids are examples of what type of fatty acid? Choices: - neutral - integral - compacted - saturated A:
A: saturated
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In nature, elements rarely occur alone. Instead, they combine to form compounds. A compound is a substance composed of two or more elements joined by chemical bonds. For example, the compound glucose is an important body fuel. It is always composed of the same three elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Moreover, the elements that make up any given compound always occur in the same relative amounts. In glucose, there are always six carbon and six oxygen units for every twelve hydrogen units. But what, exactly, are these "units" of elements?. Q: What refers to a substance made from two or more elements joined by chemical bonds? Choices: - basic - component - contrast - compound A:
Answer: compound

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Some substances in food cannot be broken down into nutrients. They remain behind in the digestive system after the nutrients are absorbed. Any substances in food that cannot be digested and absorbed pass out of the body as solid waste. The process of passing solid food waste out of the body is called elimination. Q: What is the name of the process in which solid food waste is passed out of the body? Choices: - extinction - evaporation - regurgitation - elimination A:
**Answer**
elimination
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sulfate minerals contain sulfur atoms bonded to oxygen atoms. Like halides, they can form in places where salt water evaporates. Many minerals belong in the sulfate group, but there are only a few common sulfate minerals. Gypsum is a common sulfate mineral that contains calcium, sulfate, and water. Gypsum is found in various forms. For example, it can be pink and look like it has flower petals. However, it can also grow into very large white crystals. Gypsum crystals that are 11 meters long have been found. That is about as long as a school bus! Gypsum also forms at the Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, shown in Figure below . Q: What two types of atoms bond to form sulfate minerals? Choices: - oxygen and carbon - oxygen and calcium - carbon and sulfur - oxygen and sulfur A:
oxygen and sulfur
