Answer the following question given this paragraph: The thalamus acts as a gateway to and from the cortex. It receives sensory and motor inputs from the body and also receives feedback from the cortex. This feedback mechanism can modulate conscious awareness of sensory and motor inputs depending on the attention and arousal state of the animal. The thalamus helps regulate consciousness, arousal, and sleep states. Below the thalamus is the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus controls the endocrine system by sending signals to the pituitary gland. Among other functions, the hypothalamus is the body's thermostatit makes sure the body temperature is kept at appropriate levels. Neurons within the hypothalamus also regulate circadian rhythms, sometimes called sleep cycles. The limbic system is a connected set of structures that regulates emotion, as well as behaviors related to fear and motivation. It plays a role in memory formation and includes parts of the thalamus and hypothalamus as well as the hippocampus. One important structure within the limbic system is a temporal lobe structure called the amygdala. The two amygdala (one on each side) are important both for the sensation of fear and for recognizing fearful faces. The cerebellum (cerebellum = "little brain") sits at the base of the brain on top of the brainstem. The cerebellum controls balance and aids in coordinating movement and learning new motor tasks. The cerebellum of birds is large compared to other vertebrates because of the coordination required by flight. The brainstem connects the rest of the brain with the spinal cord and regulates some of the most important and basic functions of the nervous system including breathing, swallowing, digestion, sleeping, walking, and sensory and motor information integration. Q: The thalamus acts as a gateway to and from what? Choices: - pons - medulla oblongata - spine - cortex A:
cortex

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The female reproductive organ in a flower is the pistil . It consists of a stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is the top of the pistil. It is sticky to help it "catch" pollen. The style connects the stigma to the ovary. The ovary is where eggs form and seeds develop. As seeds develop, the ovary turns into a fruit . The fruit protects the seeds. It also attracts animals that may eat the fruit and help disperse the seeds. Q: Consisting of a stigma, style, and ovary, the pistil of a flower is what type of organ? Choices: - female neural organ - female immune organ - female respiratory organ - female reproductive organ A:
(Answer)
female reproductive organ
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Not getting enough minerals can cause health problems. For example, too little calcium may cause osteoporosis. This is a disease in which bones become soft and break easily. Getting too much of some minerals can also cause health problems. Many people get too much sodium. Sodium is added to most packaged foods. People often add more sodium to their food by using table salt. Too much sodium causes high blood pressure in some people. Q: What disease can too little calcium cause? Choices: - anemia - arthritis - psoriasis - osteoporosis A:
Ans: osteoporosis

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Viruses were assumed to exist before they were first seen with an electron microscope in the 1930s. Multiple hypotheses for viral origins have been proposed. Q: Viruses were assumed to exist before they were first seen with an electron microscope in which decade? Choices: - 1960's - 1890's - 1940's - 1930 ' s A:
(A).
1930 ' s
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: The most useful quantity for counting particles is the mole. So if each coefficient is multiplied by a mole, the balanced chemical equation tells us that 1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen to produce 2 moles of ammonia. This is the conventional way to interpret any balanced chemical equation. Q: What is the most useful quantity for counting particles? Choices: - the coefficient - the periodic table - the vector - the mole A:

Ans:the mole
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Field lines represent lines of force in the electric field around a charged particle. The lines bend when two particles interact. What would the lines of force look like around two negatively charged particles?. Q: What are the lines of force in the electric field around a charged particle called? Choices: - terrain lines - voltage lines - ionic zone - field lines A:
Ans:
field lines
