Answer the following question given this paragraph: A golf ball and a table tennis ball are about the same size. However, the golf ball is much heavier than the table tennis ball. Now imagine a similar size ball made out of lead. That would be very heavy indeed! What are we comparing? By comparing the mass of an object relative to its size, we are studying a property called density. Density is the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume. Q: Which property can you study by comparing the mass of an object relative to its size? Choices: - volume - weight - motion - density A:
density
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Unfortunately, the layer of good ozone is being destroyed by air pollution. The chief culprits are chlorine and bromine gases. They are released in aerosol sprays, coolants, and other products. Loss of ozone has created an ozone hole over Antarctica. Ozone depletion results in higher levels of UV radiation reaching Earth. In humans, this increases skin cancers and eye cataracts. It also disturbs the nitrogen cycle, kills plankton, and disrupts ocean food webs. The total loss of the ozone layer would be devastating to most life. Its rate of loss has slowed with restrictions on pollutants, but it is still at risk. Q: Chlorine and bromine gases released into the atmosphere have helped damage what layer of the atmosphere? Choices: - stratospheric layer - carbon layer - polluted layer - ozone layer A:
ozone layer
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Precambrian Supereon (4.6 billion544 million years ago) is the first major division of the geologic time scale. The first living cells may have evolved around 4 billion years ago. By 1 million years ago, the first multicellular eukaryotes had evolved. The Precambrian ended with the first of six mass extinctions that occurred during Earth's history. Q: The first living cells may have evolved around how long ago? Choices: - 900,000 years - 6 billion years - 2.2 billion years - 4 billion years A:
A: 4 billion years
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The epidermis of the leaf consists of a single layer of tightly-packed dermal cells. They secrete waxy cuticle to prevent evaporation of water from the leaf. The epidermis has tiny pores called stomata (singular, stoma) that control transpiration and gas exchange with the air. Figure below explains how stomata carry out this vital function. Q: The epidermis of the leaf consists of a single layer of which cells? Choices: - endothermic cells - insular cells - chloroplasm - dermal cells A:
Answer: dermal cells

(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Some volcanic eruptions are non-explosive ( Figure below ). This happens when there is little or no gas. The lava is thin, fluid and runny. It flows over the ground like a river. People generally have a lot of warning before a lava flow like this reaches them, so non-explosive eruptions are much less deadly. They may still be destructive to property, though. Even when we know that a lava flow is approaching, there are few ways of stopping it!. Q: What kind of volcanic eruptions are less deadly? Choices: - non-dormant - serial eruptions - explosive - non-explosive A:
(A).
non-explosive
