Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Most STIs are caused by bacteria or viruses. Bacterial STIs can be cured with antibiotics. Viral STIs cannot be cured. Once you are infected with a viral STI, you are likely to be infected for life. Q: Bacterial stis can be cured with what? Choices: - pesticides - antioxidants - antiviral drugs - antibiotics A:
Ans: antibiotics

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: muscle cells of the uterus become more sensitive to its effects. Oxytocin is continually released throughout childbirth through a positive feedback mechanism. As noted earlier, oxytocin prompts uterine contractions that push the fetal head toward the cervix. In response, cervical stretching stimulates additional oxytocin to be synthesized by the hypothalamus and released from the pituitary. This increases the intensity and effectiveness of uterine contractions and prompts additional dilation of the cervix. The feedback loop continues until birth. Although the mother's high blood levels of oxytocin begin to decrease immediately following birth, oxytocin continues to play a role in maternal and newborn health. First, oxytocin is necessary for the milk ejection reflex (commonly referred to as "let-down") in breastfeeding women. As the newborn begins suckling, sensory receptors in the nipples transmit signals to the hypothalamus. In response, oxytocin is secreted and released into the bloodstream. Within seconds, cells in the mother's milk ducts contract, ejecting milk into the infant's mouth. Secondly, in both males and females, oxytocin is thought to contribute to parentnewborn bonding, known as attachment. Oxytocin is also thought to be involved in feelings of love and closeness, as well as in the sexual response. Q: What is continually released during childbirth through a positive feedback mechanism and prompts uterine contractions to fetal head toward the cervix? Choices: - hemoglobin - insulin - vasopressin - oxytocin A:
Ans: oxytocin

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: environment of the body's soft tissues. Barrier defenses are part of the body's most basic defense mechanisms. The barrier defenses are not a response to infections, but they are continuously working to protect against a broad range of pathogens. The different modes of barrier defenses are associated with the external surfaces of the body, where pathogens may try to enter (Table 21.2). The primary barrier to the entrance of microorganisms into the body is the skin. Not only is the skin covered with a layer of dead, keratinized epithelium that is too dry for bacteria in which to grow, but as these cells are continuously sloughed off from the skin, they carry bacteria and other pathogens with them. Additionally, sweat and other skin secretions may lower pH, contain toxic lipids, and physically wash microbes away. Q: The barrier defenses are not a response to infections, but they are continuously working to protect against a broad range of what? Choices: - mates - nutrients - ecosystems - pathogens A:
Ans: pathogens

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A physical change is a change in one or more physical properties of matter without any change in chemical properties. In other words, matter doesn't change into a different substance in a physical change. Examples of physical change include changes in the size or shape of matter. Changes of statefor example, from solid to liquid or from liquid to gasare also physical changes. Some of the processes that cause physical changes include cutting, bending, dissolving, freezing, boiling, and melting. Four examples of physical change are pictured in the Figure below . You can learn more about physical changes and why they occur by watching the video at this URL:. Q: A change in one or more physical properties of matter without any change in chemical properties is called what? Choices: - negative change - positive change - atmospheric change - physical change A:
Ans:
physical change
