Answer the following question given this paragraph: Hemophilia is a group of diseases in which blood does not clot normally. Factors in blood are involved in clotting. When you bleed, your body begins a coagulation cascade of reactions, involving special proteins known as coagulation factors, to stop that bleeding. When one or more of these clotting factors are missing, there is a higher chance of having dificulties stoping the bleeding. Hemophiliacs lacking the normal Factor VIII are said to have Hemophilia A (or Factor VIII deficiency), the most common form. Hemophilia is a genetic disease, passed down through family. It is linked to the X-chromosome, so it mostly affects males. F8 is the gene for the Factor VIII protein. Mutations in the F8 gene lead to the production of an abnormal version of coagulation factor VIII, or reduce the amount of the protein. The altered or missing protein cannot participate effectively in the blood clotting process. Q: What is the term for diseases in which blood does not clot normally? Choices: - arthritis - diabetes - lymphoma - hemophilia A:
hemophilia
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Metal exposed to the outside elements will usually corrode if not protected. The corrosion process is a series of redox reactions involving the metal of the sculpture. In some situations, the metals are deliberately left unprotected so that the surface will undergo changes that may enhance the esthetic value of the work. Q: What process typically occurs to metal exposed to outside elements? Choices: - shrinkage - extraction - explosion - corrosion A:
corrosion
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sometimes power is measured in a unit called the horsepower. For example, the power of car engines is usually expressed in horsepowers. One horsepower is the amount of work a horse can do in 1 minute. It equals 745 watts of power. Compare the horsepowers in the Figure below to the other Figure below . Q: How many watts equals a horse power? Choices: - 695 - 904 - 375 - 745 A:
A: 745
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A monosaccharide is a simple sugar such as fructose or glucose. Fructose is found in fruits, whereas glucose generally results from the digestion of other carbohydrates. Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) is used for energy by the cells of most organisms, and is a product of photosynthesis. Q: A simple sugar such as fructose or glucose is also called a what? Choices: - carbohydrate - disaccharide - galactose - monosaccharide A:
Answer: monosaccharide

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Encephalitis is a brain infection most often caused by viruses. The immune system tries to fight off a brain infection, just as it tries to fight off other infections. But sometimes this can do more harm than good. The immune system's response may cause swelling in the brain. With no room to expand, the brain pushes against the skull. This may injure the brain and even cause death. Medicines can help fight some viral infections of the brain, but not all infections. Q: What is most often the cause of encephalitis? Choices: - parasites - bacterial infections - calcium buildup - viruses A:
**Answer**
viruses

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Larger cycloalkanes also exist, but are less common. Cyclic hydrocarbons may also be unsaturated. A cycloalkene is a cyclic hydrocarbon with at least one carbon-carbon double bond. A cycloalkyne is a cyclic hydrocarbon with at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. Shown below are the simplified structural formulas for cyclohexene and cyclooctyne. Q: What's the term for a cyclic hydrocarbon with a carbon-carbon triple bond? Choices: - bialkyne - tricycloalkyne - bicycloalykne - cycloalkyne A:
(Answer)
cycloalkyne
