Answer the following question given this paragraph: During the Permian Period, all the major landmasses moved together to form one supercontinent. The supercontinent has been named Pangaea. You can see how it looked in Figure below . At this time, temperatures were extreme and the climate became very dry. As a result, plants and animals evolved ways to cope with dryness. For example, reptiles evolved leathery skin. This helped prevent water loss. Plants evolved waxy leaves for the same purpose. Q: All the major landmasses moved together to form one supercontinent in which period? Choices: - Mesozoic - cambrian - Cenozoic - permian A:
permian
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 8.12 The colors of visible light do not carry the same amount of energy. Violet has the shortest wavelength and therefore carries the most energy, whereas red has the longest wavelength and carries the least amount of energy. (credit: modification of work by NASA). Q: Violet and red are two types of what kind of light? Choices: - infrared - ultraviolet - radioactive - visible A:
visible
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A mineral is a solid material that forms by a natural process. A mineral can be made of an element or a compound. It has a specific chemical composition that is different from other minerals. One mineral's physical properties differ from others'. These properties include crystal structure, hardness, density and color. Each is made of different elements. Each has different physical properties. For example, silver is a soft, shiny metal. Salt is a white, cube-shaped crystal. Diamond is an extremely hard, translucent crystal. Q: A mineral can be made of an element or a? Choices: - Sediment - component - cell - compound A:
A: compound
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Human Metabolism and the First Law of Thermodynamics Human metabolism is the conversion of food into heat transfer, work, and stored fat. Metabolism is an interesting example of the first law of thermodynamics in action. We now take another look at these topics via the first law of thermodynamics. Considering the body as the system of interest, we can use the first law to examine heat transfer, doing work, and internal energy in activities ranging from sleep to heavy exercise. What are some of the major characteristics of heat transfer, doing work, and energy in the body? For one, body temperature is normally kept constant by heat transfer to the surroundings. This means Q is negative. Another fact is that the body usually does work on the outside world. This means then, the body loses internal energy, since. Q: Human metabolism is the conversion of food into heat transfer, work, and this? Choices: - stored atp - stored carbs - stored protein - stored fat A:
Answer: stored fat

Answer the following question given this paragraph: 30.1 | The Plant Body By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe the shoot organ system and the root organ system Distinguish between meristematic tissue and permanent tissue Identify and describe the three regions where plant growth occurs Summarize the roles of dermal tissue, vascular tissue, and ground tissue Compare simple plant tissue with complex plant tissue Like animals, plants contain cells with organelles in which specific metabolic activities take place. Unlike animals, however, plants use energy from sunlight to form sugars during photosynthesis. In addition, plant cells have cell walls, plastids, and a large central vacuole: structures that are not found in animal cells. Each of these cellular structures plays a specific role in plant structure and function. Q: Cell walls, plastids, and a large central vacuole distinguish plant cells from what? Choices: - parenchyma cells - phloem cells - eukaryotic cells - animal cells A:
**Answer**
animal cells

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Gross Anatomy of the Lungs The lungs are pyramid-shaped, paired organs that are connected to the trachea by the right and left bronchi; on the inferior surface, the lungs are bordered by the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the flat, dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the lungs and thoracic cavity. The lungs are enclosed by the pleurae, which are attached to the mediastinum. The right lung is shorter and wider than the left lung, and the left lung occupies a smaller volume than the right. The cardiac notch is an indentation on the surface of the left lung, and it allows space for the heart (Figure 22.13). The apex of the lung is the superior region, whereas the base is the opposite region near the diaphragm. The costal surface of the lung borders the ribs. The mediastinal surface faces the midline. Q: What are the pyramid-shaped, paired organs that are connected to the trachea by the right and left bronchi? Choices: - kidneys - stomachs - ovaries - lungs A:
(A).
lungs
