Answer the following question given this paragraph: Endocrinologist An endocrinologist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating endocrine disorders. An endocrine surgeon specializes in the surgical treatment of endocrine diseases and glands. Some of the diseases that are managed by endocrinologists include disorders of the pancreas (diabetes mellitus), disorders of the pituitary (gigantism, acromegaly, and pituitary dwarfism), disorders of the thyroid gland (goiter and Graves' disease), and disorders of the adrenal glands (Cushing's disease and Addison's disease). Endocrinologists are required to assess patients and diagnose endocrine disorders through extensive use of laboratory tests. Many endocrine diseases are diagnosed using tests that stimulate or suppress endocrine organ functioning. Blood samples are then drawn to determine the effect of stimulating or suppressing an endocrine organ on the production of hormones. For example, to diagnose diabetes mellitus, patients are required to fast for 12 to 24 hours. They are then given a sugary drink, which stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin to decrease blood-glucose levels. A blood sample is taken one to two hours after the sugar drink is consumed. If the pancreas is functioning properly, the blood-glucose level will be within a normal range. Another example is the A1C test, which can be performed during blood screening. The A1C test measures average blood-glucose levels over the past two to three months. The A1C test is an indicator of how well blood glucose is being managed over a long time. Once a disease such as diabetes has been diagnosed, endocrinologists can prescribe lifestyle changes and medications to treat the disease. Some cases of diabetes mellitus can be managed by exercise, weight loss, and a healthy diet; in other cases, medications may be required to enhance insulin's production or effect. If the disease cannot be controlled by these means, the endocrinologist may prescribe insulin injections. In addition to clinical practice, endocrinologists may also be involved in primary... Q: What does the a1c test measure over the past two to three months? Choices: - RBC levels - cholesterol levels - albumin levels - blood-glucose levels A:
blood-glucose levels

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Chemical weathering is different than mechanical weathering. The minerals in the rock change their chemical makeup. They become a different type of mineral or even a different type of rock. Chemical weathering works through chemical reactions that change the rock. Q: What works through chemical reactions that change the rock? Choices: - gradual weathering - chemical breakdown - rock weathering - chemical weathering A:
(Answer)
chemical weathering
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Physical science, in turn, can be divided into chemistry and physics. Chemistry is the study of matter and energy at the scale of atoms and molecules. For example, the synthetic fibers in the swimmer's suit were created in labs by chemists. Physics is the study of matter and energy at all scalesfrom the tiniest particles of matter to the entire universe. Knowledge of several important physics conceptssuch as motion and forcescontributed to the design of the swimmer's suit. Q: The physical sciences can be divided into physics and what other science? Choices: - biology - astrology - phsycology - chemistry A:
Ans: chemistry
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: At the top of the mesosphere is the mesopause. Temperatures here are colder than anywhere else in the atmosphere. They are as low as -100 C (-212 F)! Nowhere on Earth's surface is that cold. Q: What is at the top of the mesosphere? Choices: - Troposphere - Stratosphere - Mesosphere - mesopause A:
(A).
mesopause
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Endoskeleton An endoskeleton is a skeleton that consists of hard, mineralized structures located within the soft tissue of organisms. An example of a primitive endoskeletal structure is the spicules of sponges. The bones of vertebrates are composed of tissues, whereas sponges have no true tissues (Figure 38.4). Endoskeletons provide support for the body, protect internal organs, and allow for movement through contraction of muscles attached to the skeleton. Q: A skeleton that consists of hard, mineralized structures located within the soft tissue of organisms is called what? Choices: - exoskeleton - calcium deposits - hydrostatic skeleton - endoskeleton A:

Ans:endoskeleton
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What debated therapy offers a potential method for replacing neurons lost to injury or disease? Choices: - cell production therapy - stem cell reduction - cell duplication - stem cell therapy A:

Ans:
stem cell therapy
