Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cartilage Cartilage is a connective tissue with a large amount of the matrix and variable amounts of fibers. The cells, called chondrocytes, make the matrix and fibers of the tissue. Chondrocytes are found in spaces within the tissue called lacunae. A cartilage with few collagen and elastic fibers is hyaline cartilage, illustrated in Figure 33.14. The lacunae are randomly scattered throughout the tissue and the matrix takes on a milky or scrubbed appearance with routine histological stains. Sharks have cartilaginous skeletons, as does nearly the entire human skeleton during a specific pre-birth developmental stage. A remnant of this cartilage persists in the outer portion of the human nose. Hyaline cartilage is also found at the ends of long bones, reducing friction and cushioning the articulations of these bones. Q: Like sharks, nearly the entire human skeleton during a specific pre-birth developmental stage is made of what connective tissue? Choices: - chloroplasm - phloem - collagen - cartilage A:
cartilage

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Fresh water is also preserved by purifying wastewater. Wastewater is water that has been used for cleaning, washing, flushing, or manufacturing. It includes the water that goes down your shower drain and that is flushed down your toilet. Instead of dumping wastewater directly into rivers, wastewater can be purified at a water treatment plant ( Figure below ). When wastewater is recycled, waterborne diseases caused by pathogens in sewage can be prevented. What are some ways you can save water in your own house?. Q: What do we call water that has been used for cleaning, washing, flushing, or manufacturing? Choices: - Grey water - sewage - groundwater - wastewater A:
Ans: wastewater

Choices: - helper blood cells - blue blood cells - red blood cells - white blood cells A:
(A).
white blood cells
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: A magnet is an object that attracts certain materials such as iron. All magnets have north and south magnetic poles. The poles are regions where the magnet is strongest. Q: In a magnet, what are the regions called that are the strongest? Choices: - positives - plates - negatives - poles A:

Ans:poles
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Birds reproduce sexually and have internal fertilization. Mating is generally preceded by courtship. Their amniotic eggs have hard shells and are laid in a nest. The eggs are usually incubated until they hatch. Most species have a relatively long period of parental care. Q: What kind of fertilization do birds have? Choices: - deep fertilization - asexual - sensitive fertilization - internal fertilization A:
Answer:
internal fertilization
