Answer the following question given this paragraph: A fluorescent light bulb produces visible light by fluorescence. Fluorescence occurs when a substance absorbs shorter-wavelength ultraviolet light and then gives off the energy as visible light. The compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) in the Figure below contains mercury gas that gives off ultraviolet light when electricity passes through it. The inside of the bulb is coated with a substance called phosphor. Phosphor absorbs the ultraviolet light and then gives off most of the energy as visible light. Q: What light-producing process occurs when a substance absorbs shorter-wavelength ultraviolet light and then gives off the energy as visible light? Choices: - candescence - resistance - luminescence - fluorescence A:
fluorescence
Answer the following question given this paragraph: When light rays diverge in front of a mirror, a virtual image is formed. A virtual image is formed by your brain tracing diverging rays backwards and is kind of a trick, like the person you see "behind" a mirror's surface when you brush your teeth (there's obviously no real light focused behind a mirror!). Since virtual images aren't actually "anywhere," you can't place photographic film anywhere to capture them. Q: What type of image is formed when light rays diverge in front of a mirror? Choices: - fake - large - reversed - virtual A:
virtual
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Coral reefs ( Figure below ) look like big rocks, but they are actually alive. They are built from cnidarians called corals. The corals are sessile (non-moving) polyps that can use their tentacles to feed on ocean creatures that pass by. Their skeletons are made up of calcium carbonate, which is also known as limestone. Over long periods of time, their skeletons build on each other to produce large structures known as coral reefs. Coral reefs are important habitats for many different types of ocean life. Q: Although they look like big rocks, what structures that serve as habitats for many different types of ocean life are actually alive? Choices: - new forming reefs - natural reefs - southern reefs - coral reefs A:
A: coral reefs
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Lipid Absorption About 95 percent of lipids are absorbed in the small intestine. Bile salts not only speed up lipid digestion, they are also essential to the absorption of the end products of lipid digestion. Short-chain fatty acids are relatively water soluble and can enter the absorptive cells (enterocytes) directly. Despite being hydrophobic, the small size of short-chain fatty acids enables them to be absorbed by enterocytes via simple diffusion, and then take the same path as monosaccharides and amino acids into the blood capillary of a villus. The large and hydrophobic long-chain fatty acids and monoacylglycerides are not so easily suspended in the watery intestinal chyme. However, bile salts and lecithin resolve this issue by enclosing them in a micelle, which is a tiny sphere with polar (hydrophilic) ends facing the watery environment and hydrophobic tails turned to the interior, creating a receptive environment for the long-chain fatty acids. The core also includes cholesterol and fat-soluble vitamins. Without micelles, lipids would sit on the surface of chyme and never come in contact with the absorptive surfaces of the epithelial cells. Micelles can easily squeeze between microvilli and get very near the luminal cell surface. At this point, lipid substances exit the micelle and are absorbed via simple diffusion. The free fatty acids and monoacylglycerides that enter the epithelial cells are reincorporated into triglycerides. The triglycerides are mixed with phospholipids and cholesterol, and surrounded with a protein coat. This new complex, called a chylomicron, is a water-soluble lipoprotein. After being processed by the Golgi apparatus, chylomicrons are released from the cell (Figure 23.33). Too big to pass through the basement membranes of blood capillaries, chylomicrons instead enter the large pores of lacteals. The lacteals come together to form the lymphatic vessels. The chylomicrons are transported in the lymphatic vessels and empty through the thoracic duct into the subclavian vein of the... Q: About 95 percent of lipids are absorbed in what organ of the digestive system? Choices: - kidneys - stomach - large intestine - small intestine A:
Answer: small intestine

Answer the following question given this paragraph: If you stroke an iron nail with a bar magnet, the nail will become a permanent (or at least long-lasting) magnet. Its magnetic domains will remain aligned even after you remove it from the magnetic field of the bar magnet. Permanent magnets can be demagnetized, however, if they are dropped or heated to high temperatures. These actions move the magnetic domains out of alignment. Q: What is the process called in which a magnet loses its magnetic properties? Choices: - polarization - vectorization - diffusion - demagnetization A:
**Answer**
demagnetization
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Nucleotides are composed of a phosphate group, a sugar, and one of five different nitrogenous bases. Q: What are composed of a phosphate group, a sugar, and one of five different nitrogenous bases. Choices: - prokaryotes - cytotypes - carotenoids - nucleotides A:
nucleotides
