input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 36.5 | Vision By the end of this section, you will be able to: Explain how electromagnetic waves differs from sound waves Trace the path of light through the eye to the point of the optic nerve Explain tonic activity as it is manifested in photoreceptors in the retina Vision is the ability to detect light patterns from the outside environment and interpret them into images. Animals are bombarded with sensory information, and the sheer volume of visual information can be problematic. Fortunately, the visual systems of species have evolved to attend to the most-important stimuli. The importance of vision to humans is further substantiated by the fact that about one-third of the human cerebral cortex is dedicated to analyzing and perceiving visual information. Q: About one-third of the human cerebral cortex is dedicated to analyzing and perceiving information related to what sense? A:
OPTIONS:
- hearing
- touch
- taste
- vision
output: vision

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Precision describes how close estimates are to one another. Estimates that are relatively close to one another are precise. Let's assume that ten different students made an estimate of the volume shown in Figure above , and the values were: 52.9, 52.8, 52.9, 52.9, 53.3, 52.0, 52.8, 52.9, 53.0, 52.8. We can determine how precise these data by analyzing how close they are to an average. The average could be the mean, median or mode. The most common understanding of the average is the mean. This value is calculated by adding up all the numbers and then dividing by the total number of values. Other terms that can refer to the average are the median and the mode. The median is the middle value in a numerically ordered list of numbers. The mode is the value that occurs most often in a set of numbers. If no number is repeated, there is no mode for the list. Here are the calculated averages:. Q: What term describes how close estimates are to one another? A:

OPTIONS:
- precise
- Distant
- efficiency
- precision

A: precision

input: OPTIONS:
- dog days
- doldrums
- flood
- drought Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Droughts also depend on what is normal for a region. A region that gets significantly less precipitation than normal for an extended period of time is in drought. The Southern United States is experiencing an ongoing and prolonged drought. Q: What term is used to describe a region getting significantly less precipitation than normal for an extended period of time? A:
A:
output: drought

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Fossil fuels are compounds of carbon and hydrogen, called hydrocarbons . Hydrocarbons can be solid, liquid, or gas. The solid form is coal. The liquid form is petroleum, or crude oil. The gaseous form is natural gas. Q: What do we call the solid form of hydrocarbons? A:

OPTIONS:
- methane
- shale

- coal

Answer: coal

Problem: OPTIONS:
- bonds
- electrons
- neutrons
- protons
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom helped explain why atoms of different elements exhibit different chemical behavior. The identity of an element is defined by itsatomic number (Z), the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of the element. The atomic number is therefore different for each element. The known elements are arranged in order of increasing Z in the periodic table (Figure 1.24 "The Periodic Table Showing the Elements in Order of Increasing "; also see Chapter 32 "Appendix H: Periodic Table of Elements"),. Q: Elements are defined by their atomic number, a number that describes the amount of what in the element? A:
Answer: protons

Answer the following question given this paragraph: 17.4 The Thyroid Gland The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in the neck anterior to the trachea. Its hormones regulate basal metabolism, oxygen use, nutrient metabolism, the production of ATP, and calcium homeostasis. They also contribute to protein synthesis and the normal growth and development of body tissues, including maturation of the nervous system, and they increase the body's sensitivity to catecholamines. The thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) are produced and secreted by the thyroid gland in response to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary. Synthesis of the amino acidderived T3 and T4 hormones requires iodine. Insufficient amounts of iodine in the diet can lead to goiter, cretinism, and many other disorders. Q: What gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in the neck anterior to the trachea? A:

OPTIONS:
- pituitary gland
- pineal gland
- adrenal gland
- thyroid gland

Answer:
thyroid gland
