Answer the following question given this paragraph: The cecum is the first part of the large intestine, where wastes enter from the small intestine. The wastes are in a liquid state. As they pass through the colon , which is the second part of the large intestine, excess water is absorbed. The remaining solid wastes are called feces . Feces accumulate in the rectum , which is the third part of the large intestine. As the rectum fills, the feces become compacted. After a certain amount of feces accumulate, they are eliminated from the body. A sphincter controls the anus and opens to let feces pass through. Q: What is the first part of the large intestine, where wastes enter from the small intestine? Choices: - tectum - spleen - sacrum - cecum A:
cecum

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Over 2500 years ago Aristotle proposed two laws of physics governing motion. One for 'Earthly bodies' (objects on Earth) that states objects naturally go in straight lines and one for 'Heavenly bodies' (objects in space) that states objects naturally go in circles. This idea held steady for 2,000 years until Isaac Newton, in a triumph of brilliance, declared that there is one law of physics that governs motion and he unified "earthly" bodies and "heavenly" bodies with the The Universal Law of Gravitation. Newton used the universal law of gravity to prove that the moon is accelerating towards Earth just as a body on Earth is falling towards it. The acceleration of both the moon and the object on Earth is calculated using the same formula. This theory is so well regarded that it has been used to hypothesize the existence of black holes and dark matter, later verified by observation. The search to unify the laws of physics into one theory continues today and is often referred to as the yet undiscovered Grand Unified Theory (GUT). Q: The as yet undiscovered grand unified theory is a search to unify laws of what branch of science? Choices: - genetics - chemistry - masses - physics A:
physics

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Homeostasis The goal of homeostasis is the maintenance of equilibrium around a specific value of some aspect of the body or its cells called a set point. While there are normal fluctuations from the set point, the body's systems will usually attempt to go back to this point. A change in the internal or external environment is called a stimulus and is detected by a receptor; the response of the system is to adjust the activities of the system so the value moves back toward the set point. For instance, if the body becomes too warm, adjustments are made to cool the animal. If glucose levels in the blood rise after a meal, adjustments are made to lower them and to get the nutrient into tissues that need it or to store it for later use. When a change occurs in an animal's environment, an adjustment must be made so that the internal environment of the body and cells remains stable. The receptor that senses the change in the environment is part of a feedback mechanism. The stimulustemperature, glucose, or calcium levelsis detected by the receptor. The receptor sends information to a control center, often the brain, which relays appropriate signals to an effector organ that is able to cause an appropriate change, either up or down, depending on the information the sensor was sending. Q: The human body wants to maintain equilibrium or balance, also known as what? Choices: - perfection - heterostasis - stability - homeostasis A:
homeostasis
