Answer the following question given this paragraph: Pollination by Bats In the tropics and deserts, bats are often the pollinators of nocturnal flowers such as agave, guava, and morning glory. The flowers are usually large and white or pale-colored; thus, they can be distinguished from the dark surroundings at night. The flowers have a strong, fruity, or musky fragrance and produce large amounts of nectar. They are naturally large and wide-mouthed to accommodate the head of the bat. As the bats seek the nectar, their faces and heads become covered with pollen, which is then transferred to the next flower. Q: What mammal is often a pollinator of nocturnal flowers? Choices: - sunbirds - hummingbirds - rabbits - bat A:
bat
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Within a group, the ionization energy decreases as the size of the atom gets larger. On the graph, we see that the ionization energy increases as we go up the group to smaller atoms. In this situation, the first electron removed is farther from the nucleus as the atomic number (number of protons) increases. Being farther away from the positive attraction makes it easier for that electron to be pulled off. Q: Within a group, the ionization energy decreases as the size of the atom gets what? Choices: - brighter - smaller - lighter - larger A:
larger
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: So does the magnetic force cause circular motion? Magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, so that it does no work on the charged particle. The particle's kinetic energy and speed thus remain constant. The direction of motion is affected, but not the speed. This is typical of uniform circular motion. The simplest case occurs when a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform B -field, such as shown in Figure 22.20. (If this takes place in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. ) Here, the magnetic force supplies the centripetal force F c = mv 2 / r . Noting that sin = 1 , we see that. Q: Magnetic force is always perpendicular to what? Choices: - speed - sunlight - length - velocity A:
A: velocity
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Mollusks have a hard outer shell. There is a layer of tissue called the mantle between the shell and the body. Q: What is the layer of tissue between the body and shell called? Choices: - collagen - cuticle - epidermis - mantle A:
Answer: mantle

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cerebral Cortex Compared to other vertebrates, mammals have exceptionally large brains for their body size. An entire alligator's brain, for example, would fill about one and a half teaspoons. This increase in brain to body size ratio is especially pronounced in apes, whales, and dolphins. While this increase in overall brain size doubtlessly played a role in the evolution of complex behaviors unique to mammals, it does not tell the whole story. Scientists have found a relationship between the relatively high surface area of the cortex and the intelligence and complex social behaviors exhibited by some mammals. This increased surface area is due, in part, to increased folding of the cortical sheet (more sulci and gyri). For example, a rat cortex is very smooth with very few sulci and gyri. Cat and sheep cortices have more sulci and gyri. Chimps, humans, and dolphins have even more. Q: What organ do mammals have that is exceptionally large for their body size? Choices: - lungs - heart - liver - brain A:
**Answer**
brain

Answer the following question given this paragraph: A chain of volcanoes forms as an oceanic plate moves over a hot spot. This is how it happens. A volcano forms over the hotspot. Since the plate is moving, the volcano moves off of the hotspot. When the hotspot erupts again, a new volcano forms over it. This volcano is in line with the first. Over time, there is a line of volcanoes. The youngest is directly above the hot spot. The oldest is the furthest away ( Figure below ). Q: Volcano chains form as an oceanic plate moves over what? Choices: - dust spot - Water spot - melt spot - hot spot A:
(Answer)
hot spot
