Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Which of the following statements about the menstrual cycle is false? a. Progesterone levels rise during the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle and the secretory phase of the uterine cycle. Menstruation occurs just after LH and FSH levels peak. Menstruation occurs after progesterone levels drop. Estrogen levels rise before ovulation, while progesterone levels rise after. Menopause As women approach their mid-40s to mid-50s, their ovaries begin to lose their sensitivity to FSH and LH. Menstrual periods become less frequent and finally cease; this is menopause. There are still eggs and potential follicles on the ovaries, but without the stimulation of FSH and LH, they will not produce a viable egg to be released. The outcome of this is the inability to have children. The side effects of menopause include hot flashes, heavy sweating (especially at night), headaches, some hair loss, muscle pain, vaginal dryness, insomnia, depression, weight gain, and mood swings. Estrogen is involved in calcium metabolism and, without it, blood levels of calcium decrease. To replenish the blood, calcium is lost from bone which may decrease the bone density and lead to osteoporosis. Supplementation of estrogen in the form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can prevent bone loss, but the therapy can have negative side effects. While HRT is thought to give some protection from colon cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease, macular degeneration, and possibly depression, its negative side effects include increased risk of: stroke or heart attack, blood clots, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, gall bladder disease, and possibly dementia. Q: When menstrual periods become less frequent and finally cease; this is called? A:

OPTIONS:

A: menopause

input: OPTIONS:
- the epicenter
- the tectonic plate
- the fault
- the focus Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The focus of an earthquake is in the ground where the ground breaks. The epicenter is the point at the surface just above the focus. Q: Which part of an earthquake is in the ground where the ground breaks? A:

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The attractive force between water molecules is a dipole interaction. The hydrogen atoms are bound to the highly electronegative oxygen atom (which also possesses two lone pair sets of electrons, making for a very polar bond. The partially positive hydrogen atom of one molecule is then attracted to the oxygen atom of a nearby water molecule (see Figure below ). Q: The attractive force between water molecules is what kind of reaction? A:

OPTIONS:
- symmetrical reaction
- aquatic reaction
- diffusion reaction
- dipole reaction

Answer: dipole reaction

Problem: OPTIONS:
- speciation
- biased selection
- natural selection
- artificial selection
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Artificial Selection: Humans used artificial selection to create these different breeds. Both dog breeds are descended from the same wolves, and their genes are almost identical. Q: Humans create different breeds of organisms using what kind of selection? A:
Answer: artificial selection

Problem:OPTIONS:
- it rises
- it decreases
- it increases
- remains unchanged

Answer the following question given this paragraph: During a nuclear decay process that occurs by positron emission, a proton is converted into a neutron and a positron. The neutron remains in the nucleus, and the positron is expelled. Overall, the atomic number of the parent nucleus increases by one, and the mass number is unchanged. For example, carbon-11 emits a positron to become boron-11:. Q: What happens to the mass number during a nuclear decay process by positron emission? A:
****
A: remains unchanged

Problem:OPTIONS:
- stimulation nerves
- autonomic nerves
- somatic nerves
- cranial nerves

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cranial Nerves The nerves attached to the brain are the cranial nerves, which are primarily responsible for the sensory and motor functions of the head and neck (one of these nerves targets organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities as part of the parasympathetic nervous system). There are twelve cranial nerves, which are designated CNI through CNXII for "Cranial Nerve," using Roman numerals for 1 through 12. They can be classified as sensory nerves, motor nerves, or a combination of both, meaning that the axons in these nerves originate out of sensory ganglia external to the cranium or motor nuclei within the brain stem. Sensory axons enter the brain to synapse in a nucleus. Motor axons connect to skeletal muscles of the head or neck. Three of the nerves are solely composed of sensory fibers; five are strictly motor; and the remaining four are mixed nerves. Learning the cranial nerves is a tradition in anatomy courses, and students have always used mnemonic devices to remember the nerve names. A traditional mnemonic is the rhyming couplet, "On Old Olympus' Towering Tops/A Finn And German Viewed Some Hops," in which the initial letter of each word corresponds to the initial letter in the name of each nerve. The names of the nerves have changed over the years to reflect current usage and more accurate naming. An exercise to help learn this sort of information is to generate a mnemonic using words that have personal significance. The names of the cranial nerves are listed in Table 13.3 along with a brief description of their function, their source (sensory ganglion or. Q: What nerves attached to the brain are mainly responsible for motor and sensory functions? A:
****
A:
cranial nerves
