Answer the following question given this paragraph: Homologous structures are structures that have a common function and suggest common ancestry. For example, homologous structures include the limbs of mammals, such as bats, lions, whales, and humans, which all have a common ancestor. Different mammals may use their limbs for walking, running, swimming or flying. The method the mammal uses to move is considered a common function. Q: What are structures that have a common function and suggest common ancestry? Choices: - reversible structures - analogous structures - monogamous structures - homologous structures A:
homologous structures
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Although renewable, soil takes a very long time to formup to hundreds of millions of years. So, for human purposes, soil is a nonrenewable resource. It is also constantly depleted of nutrients through careless use, and eroded by wind and water. For example, misuse of soil caused a huge amount of it to simply blow away in the 1930s during the Dust Bowl (see Figure below ). Soil must be used wisely to preserve it for the future. Conservation practices include contour plowing and terracing. Both reduce soil erosion. Soil also must be protected from toxic wastes. Q: What kind of a resource is soil, for human purposes? Choices: - renewable resource - guarana resource - emanates resource - nonrenewable resource A:
nonrenewable resource
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Organisms evolve adaptations that help them survive in the climate of the biome where they live. For example, in biomes with arid climates, plants may have special tissues for storing water (see Figure below ). The desert animals pictured in Figure below also have adaptations for a dry climate. Q: A plant that forms special tissues for storing water in an arid climate is an example of the plant evolving what? Choices: - consciousness - additions - divergence - adaptations A:
A: adaptations
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: One application of redox reactions requires that they be physically separated. Even though the two half reactions are physically separated, a spontaneous redox reaction still occurs. However, in this case, the electrons transfer through the wire connecting the two half reactions; that is, this setup becomes a source of electricity. Useful work can be extracted from the electrons as they transfer from one side to the otherfor example, a light bulb can be lit, or a motor can be operated. The apparatus as a whole, which allows useful electrical work to be extracted from a redox reaction, is called a voltaic (galvanic) cell. Each individual system that contains a half reaction is called a half cell. The half cell that contains the oxidation reaction is called the anode, while the half cell that contains the reduction reaction is called the cathode. The cathode and anode collectively are the electrodes of the voltaic cell. Because electrons are coming from the anode, the anode is considered the negative electrode of the cell, while the cathode is considered the positive electrode of the cell. Finally, because electrons are moving from one half cell to the. Q: The cathode and anode collectively are the electrodes of what? Choices: - circuit cell - switch cell - photo cell - voltaic cell A:
Answer: voltaic cell

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Summary The conversion of metals from their ores to more useful forms is calledmetallurgy, which consists of three general steps: mining, separation and concentration, and reduction. Settling and flotation are separation methods based on differences in density, whereas pyrometallurgy is based on a chemical reduction at elevated temperatures, and hydrometallurgy uses chemical or electrochemical reduction of an aqueous solution. In pyrometallurgy, a reductant must be used that does not form stable compounds with the metal of interest. In hydrometallurgy, metals are separated via the formation of metal complexes. Q: What is the conversion of metals from their ores to more useful forms called? Choices: - thermodynamics - nanotechnology - crystallography - metallurgy A:
**Answer**
metallurgy
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Spermatogonia lining the seminiferous tubule undergo mitosis to form primary spermatocytes , which are also diploid. The primary spermatocytes undergo the first meiotic division to form secondary spermatocytes , which are haploid. Spermatocytes make up the next layer of cells inside the seminiferous tubule. Finally, the secondary spermatocytes complete meiosis to form spermatids . Spermatids make up a third layer of cells in the tubule. Q: What do secondary spermatocytes form when completing meiosis? Choices: - pores - semen - sporozoans - spermatids A:
(A).
spermatids
