Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Organisms that live in a hypotonic environment such as freshwater, need a way to prevent their cells from taking in too much water by osmosis. A contractile vacuole is a type of vacuole that removes excess water from a cell. Freshwater protists, such as the paramecia shown in Figure below , have a contractile vacuole. The vacuole is surrounded by several canals, which absorb water by osmosis from the cytoplasm. After the canals fill with water, the water is pumped into the vacuole. When the vacuole is full, it pushes the water out of the cell through a pore. Other protists, such as members of the genus Amoeba , have contractile vacuoles that move to the surface of the cell when full and release the water into the environment. Q: Organisms that live in freshwater environments often possess a contractile vacuole that prevents cells from taking in too much water through what process? A:
Answer: osmosis

Problem:OPTIONS:
- byblis acid
- amino acid
- pixelation acid
- lysergic acid

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Plant Parasites and Pathogens The production of sufficient good-quality crops is essential to human existence. Plant diseases have ruined crops, bringing widespread famine. Many plant pathogens are fungi that cause tissue decay and eventual death of the host (Figure 24.25). In addition to destroying plant tissue directly, some plant pathogens spoil crops by producing potent toxins. Fungi are also responsible for food spoilage and the rotting of stored crops. For example, the fungus Claviceps purpurea causes ergot, a disease of cereal crops (especially of rye). Although the fungus reduces the yield of cereals, the effects of the ergot's alkaloid toxins on humans and animals are of much greater significance. In animals, the disease is referred to as ergotism. The most common signs and symptoms are convulsions, hallucination, gangrene, and loss of milk in cattle. The active ingredient of ergot is lysergic acid, which is a precursor of the drug LSD. Smuts, rusts, and powdery or downy mildew are other examples of common fungal pathogens that affect crops. Q: Which is the active ingredient of cereal crop disease, ergot? A:
****
A: lysergic acid

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: Over many generations, the resulting genetic diversity provides valuable raw material for what? A:
OPTIONS:
- coral selection
- characteristic selection
- intelligent selection
- natural selection
natural selection

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The echinoderm nervous system has a nerve ring at the center and five radial nerves extending outward along the arms. There is no centralized nervous control. Echinoderms have separate sexes and release their gametes into the water where fertilization takes place. Echinoderms may also reproduce asexually through regeneration from body parts. Q: What process takes place when echinoderms release their gametes into the water? A:
OPTIONS:
- migration
- stimulation
- isolation
- fertilization

Answer: fertilization

OPTIONS:
- endangered
- arboreal
- freshwater
- terrestrial
output:
terrestrial
