Answer the following question given this paragraph: 2.4 | Inorganic Compounds Essential to Human Functioning By the end of this section, you will be able to: Compare and contrast inorganic and organic compounds Identify the properties of water that make it essential to life Explain the role of salts in body functioning Distinguish between acids and bases, and explain their role in pH Discuss the role of buffers in helping the body maintain pH homeostasis The concepts you have learned so far in this chapter govern all forms of matter, and would work as a foundation for geology as well as biology. This section of the chapter narrows the focus to the chemistry of human life; that is, the compounds important for the body's structure and function. In general, these compounds are either inorganic or organic. An inorganic compound is a substance that does not contain both carbon and hydrogen. A great many inorganic compounds do contain hydrogen atoms, such as water (H2O) and the hydrochloric acid (HCl) produced by your stomach. In contrast, only a handful of inorganic compounds contain carbon atoms. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the few examples. An organic compound, then, is a substance that contains both carbon and hydrogen. Organic compounds are synthesized via covalent bonds within living organisms, including the human body. Recall that carbon and hydrogen are the second and third most abundant elements in your body. You will soon discover how these two elements combine in the foods you eat, in the compounds that make up your body structure, and in the chemicals that fuel your functioning. The following section examines the three groups of inorganic compounds essential to life: water, salts, acids, and bases. Organic compounds are covered later in the chapter. Q: Carbon and what are the second and third most abundant elements in your body? A:
****
A: hydrogen

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cardiac muscle undergoes aerobic respiration patterns, primarily metabolizing lipids and carbohydrates. Myoglobin, lipids, and glycogen are all stored within the cytoplasm. Cardiac muscle cells undergo twitch-type contractions with long refractory periods followed by brief relaxation periods. The relaxation is essential so the heart can fill with blood for the next cycle. The refractory period is very long to prevent the possibility of tetany, a condition in which muscle remains involuntarily contracted. In the heart, tetany is not compatible with life, since it would prevent the heart from pumping blood. Q: What kind of muscle cells undergo twitch-type contractions with long refractory periods followed by brief relaxation periods, allowing the heart to fill with blood for the next cycle? A:
OPTIONS:
- nervous muscle
- skeletal muscle
- smooth muscle
- cardiac muscle
cardiac muscle

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Unfortunately, using energy from nuclear fusion is far from a reality. Scientists are a long way from developing the necessary technology. One problem is raising temperatures high enough for fusion to take place. Another problem is that matter this hot exists only in the plasma state. There are no known materials that can contain plasma, although a magnet might be able to do it. That's because plasma consists of ions and responds to magnetism. You can learn more about research on nuclear fusion at the URL below. Q: In which state does matter need to be for nuclear fusion? A:
OPTIONS:
- cells state
- solid state
- gaseous state
- plasma state

Answer: plasma state

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Breasts Whereas the breasts are located far from the other female reproductive organs, they are considered accessory organs of the female reproductive system. The function of the breasts is to supply milk to an infant in a process called lactation. The external features of the breast include a nipple surrounded by a pigmented areola (Figure 27.17), whose coloration may deepen during pregnancy. The areola is typically circular and can vary in size from 25 to 100 mm in diameter. The areolar region is characterized by small, raised areolar glands that secrete lubricating fluid during lactation to protect the nipple from chafing. When a baby nurses, or draws milk from the breast, the entire areolar region is taken into the mouth. Breast milk is produced by the mammary glands, which are modified sweat glands. The milk itself exits the breast through the nipple via 15 to 20 lactiferous ducts that open on the surface of the nipple. These lactiferous ducts each extend to a lactiferous sinus that connects to a glandular lobe within the breast itself that contains groups of milk-secreting cells in clusters called alveoli (see Figure 27.17). The clusters can change in size depending on the amount of milk in the alveolar lumen. Once milk is made in the alveoli, stimulated myoepithelial cells that surround the alveoli contract to push the milk to the lactiferous sinuses. From here, the baby can draw milk through the lactiferous ducts by suckling. The lobes themselves are surrounded by fat tissue, which determines the size of the breast; breast size differs between individuals and does not affect the amount of milk produced. Supporting the breasts are multiple bands of connective tissue called suspensory ligaments that connect the breast tissue to the dermis of the overlying skin. Q: Breasts are considered accessory organs of what body system? A:
OPTIONS:
- digestive system
- nervous system
- lymphatic system
- female reproductive system
Answer: female reproductive system

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Binary fission occurs when a parent cell simply splits into two daughter cells. This method is described in detail in the lesson "Cell Division. " Bacteria reproduce this way. You can see a bacterial cell reproducing by binary fission in Figure below . Q: How does bacteria reproduce? A:
OPTIONS:
- sexual reproduction
- budding
- pollination
- binary fission
output: binary fission

Problem: OPTIONS:
- biology
- viruses
- males
- predators
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Many species use their body shape and coloration to avoid being detected by predators. The tropical walking stick is an insect with the coloration and body shape of a twig, which makes it very hard to see when it is stationary against a background of real twigs (Figure 19.15a). In another example, the chameleon can change its color to match its surroundings (Figure 19.15b). Q: Many species use their body shape and coloration to avoid being detected by what? A:
Answer:
predators
