Q: Q: The rising and sinking of these can cause precipitation? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Global air currents affect precipitation. How they affect it varies with latitude ( Figure below ). Where air rises, it cools and there is precipitation. Where air sinks, it warms and causes evaporation. These patterns are part of the global wind belts. Choices: - underwater currents - circular air currents - temporary air currents - global air currents A:
A: global air currents

Q: Q: What is the si unit for pressure? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Summary Four quantities must be known for a complete physical description of a sample of a gas: temperature, volume, amount, and pressure. Pressure is force per unit area of surface; the SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), defined as 1 newton per square meter (N/m2). The pressure exerted by an object is proportional to the force it exerts and inversely proportional to the area on which the force is exerted. The pressure exerted by Earth's atmosphere, called atmospheric pressure, is about 101 kPa or 14.7 lb/in.2 at sea level. Atmospheric pressure can be measured with abarometer, a closed, inverted tube filled with mercury. The height of the mercury column is proportional to atmospheric pressure, which is often reported in units ofmillimeters of mercury (mmHg), also called torr. Standard atmospheric pressure, the pressure required to support a column of mercury 760 mm tall, is yet. Choices: - watt - laurent - le - pascal A:
A: pascal

Q: Q: What term describes all but the sex chromosomes? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Animals and most plants have two special chromosomes. They are called sex chromosomes . These are chromosomes that determine the sex of the organism. All of the other chromosomes are called autosomes . Genes on sex chromosomes may be inherited differently than genes on autosomes. Choices: - lysosomes - telomeres - sporozoans - autsomes A:
A: autsomes

Q: Q: What organ do mammals have that is exceptionally large for their body size? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Cerebral Cortex Compared to other vertebrates, mammals have exceptionally large brains for their body size. An entire alligator's brain, for example, would fill about one and a half teaspoons. This increase in brain to body size ratio is especially pronounced in apes, whales, and dolphins. While this increase in overall brain size doubtlessly played a role in the evolution of complex behaviors unique to mammals, it does not tell the whole story. Scientists have found a relationship between the relatively high surface area of the cortex and the intelligence and complex social behaviors exhibited by some mammals. This increased surface area is due, in part, to increased folding of the cortical sheet (more sulci and gyri). For example, a rat cortex is very smooth with very few sulci and gyri. Cat and sheep cortices have more sulci and gyri. Chimps, humans, and dolphins have even more. Choices: - lungs - heart - liver - brain A:
A: brain
