Answer the following question given this paragraph: Many animals go through daily cycles. Daily cycles of behavior are called circadian rhythms. For example, most animals go to sleep when the sun sets down and wake up when the sun rises. These animals are active during the day and called diurnal. Other animals go to sleep when the sun rises and wake up when the sun sets. These animals are active during the night and called nocturnal. Many owls, like the owls in Figure below , are nocturnal. Like some other nocturnal animals, they have large eyes that are specially adapted for seeing when light levels are low. Q: What term refers to an animal that sleeps during the day and is active at night? Choices: - diurnal - crepuscular - solitary - nocturnal A:
nocturnal
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Diagram of a Cytomegalovirus. The capsid encloses the genetic material of the virus. The envelope which surrounds the capsid is typically made from portions of the host cell membranes (phospholipids and proteins). Not all viruses have a viral envelope. Q: What encloses the genetic material of the virus? Choices: - mitochondria - nuclei - the spindle - the capsid A:
the capsid
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Quantities have two parts: the number and the unit. The number tells "how many. " It is important to be able to express numbers properly so that the quantities can be communicated properly. Standard notation is the straightforward expression of a number. Numbers such as 17, 101.5, and 0.00446 are expressed in standard notation. For relatively small numbers, standard notation is fine. However, for very large numbers, such as 306,000,000, or for very small numbers, such as 0.000000419, standard notation can be cumbersome because of the number of zeros needed to place nonzero numbers in the proper position. Q: Quantities have two parts: the number (how many) and what else? Choices: - the motion - the member - the credit - he unit A:
A: he unit
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: larger cities and economic growth therein leads to the construction of dams, the consequent flooding of ecosystems, and increased emissions of pollutants. Other threats to tropical forests come from poachers, who log trees for their precious wood. Ebony and Brazilian rosewood, both on the endangered list, are examples of tree species driven almost to extinction by indiscriminate logging. The number of plant species becoming extinct is increasing at an alarming rate. Because ecosystems are in a delicate balance, and seed plants maintain close symbiotic relationships with animalswhether predators or pollinatorsthe disappearance of a single plant can lead to the extinction of connected animal species. A real and pressing issue is that many plant species have not yet been catalogued, and so their place in the ecosystem is unknown. These unknown species are threatened by logging, habitat destruction, and loss of pollinators. They may become extinct before we have the chance to begin to understand the possible impacts from their disappearance. Efforts to preserve biodiversity take several lines of action, from preserving heirloom seeds to barcoding species. Heirloom seeds come from plants that were traditionally grown in human populations, as opposed to the seeds used for large-scale agricultural production. Barcoding is a technique in which one or more short gene sequences, taken from a well-characterized portion of the genome, are used to identify a species through DNA analysis. Q: What type of seeds come from plants that were traditionally grown in human populations, as opposed to the seeds used for large-scale agricultural production? Choices: - old-fashioned seeds - modified seeds - original seeds - heirloom seeds A:
Answer: heirloom seeds

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Under what conditions then, do gases behave least ideally? When a gas is put under high pressure, its molecules are forced closer together as the empty space between the particles is diminished. A decrease in the empty space means that the assumption that the volume of the particles themselves is negligible is less valid. When a gas is cooled, the decrease in kinetic energy of the particles causes them to slow down. If the particles are moving at slower speeds, the attractive forces between them are more prominent. Another way to view it is that continued cooling the gas will eventually turn it into a liquid and a liquid is certainly not an ideal gas anymore (see liquid nitrogen in the Figure below ). In summary, a real gas deviates most from an ideal gas at low temperatures and high pressures. Gases are most ideal at high temperature and low pressure. Q: Gases are most ideal at high temperature and what pressure? Choices: - absolute - high - stable - low A:
**Answer**
low
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Because air is slightly more optically dense than a vacuum, when sunlight passes from the vacuum of space into our atmosphere, it bends slightly towards the normal. When the sun is below the horizon and thus not visible on a direct line, the light path will bend slightly and thus make the sun visible by refraction. Observers can see the sun before it actually comes up over the horizon, or after it sets. Q: When the sun is below the horizon and thus not visible on a direct line, the light path will bend slightly and thus make the sun visible by what? Choices: - reflection - thermal - infrared - refraction A:
(A).
refraction
