Answer the following question given this paragraph: A solution is a homogeneous mixture in which a solute dissolves in a solvent. Water is a very common solvent, especially in organisms. Q: What is the general name for the homogeneous mixture that is formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent? Choices: - Reaction - Combination - Dissolvant - solution A:
solution
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The decay of an unstable isotope to a stable element occurs at a constant rate. This rate is different for each isotope pair. The decay rate is measured in a unit called the half-life. The half-life is the time it takes for half of a given amount of an isotope to decay. For example, the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. Imagine that you start out with 100 grams of carbon-14. In 5730 years, half of it decays. This leaves 50 grams of carbon-14. Over the next 5730 years, half of the remaining amount will decay. Now there are 25 grams of carbon-14. How many grams will there be in another 5730 years? Figure below graphs the rate of decay of carbon-14. Q: The decay rate is measured in a unit called the what? Choices: - decay rate - exponential decay - radioactive decay - half-life A:
half-life
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 17.2 Hormones Hormones are derived from amino acids or lipids. Amine hormones originate from the amino acids tryptophan or tyrosine. Larger amino acid hormones include peptides and protein hormones. Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol. Steroid hormones and thyroid hormone are lipid soluble. All other amino acidderived hormones are water soluble. Hydrophobic hormones are able to diffuse through the membrane and interact with an intracellular receptor. In contrast, hydrophilic hormones must interact with cell membrane receptors. These are typically associated with a G protein, which becomes activated when the hormone binds the receptor. This initiates a signaling cascade that involves a second messenger, such as cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Second messenger systems greatly amplify the hormone signal, creating a broader, more efficient, and faster response. Hormones are released upon stimulation that is of either chemical or neural origin. Regulation of hormone release is primarily achieved through negative feedback. Various stimuli may cause the release of hormones, but there are three major types. Humoral stimuli are changes in ion or nutrient levels in the blood. Hormonal stimuli are changes in hormone levels that initiate or inhibit the secretion of another hormone. Finally, a neural stimulus occurs when a nerve impulse prompts the secretion or inhibition of a hormone. Q: What kind of hormones are derived from cholesterol? Choices: - germs - Antibiotic - synthesis - steroid A:
A: steroid
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Clastic sedimentary rocks are grouped by the size of the sediment they contain. Conglomerate and breccia are made of individual stones that have been cemented together. In conglomerate, the stones are rounded. In breccia, the stones are angular. Sandstone is made of sand-sized particles. Siltstone is made of smaller particles. Silt is smaller than sand but larger than clay. Shale has the smallest grain size. Shale is made mostly of clay-sized particles and hardened mud. Q: How are classic sedimentary rocks group? Choices: - particle depth - density - color - size of sediment A:
Answer: size of sediment

Answer the following question given this paragraph: To sterilize a 50.0-g glass baby bottle, we must raise its temperature from 22.0C to 95.0C . How much heat transfer is required? 4. The same heat transfer into identical masses of different substances produces different temperature changes. Calculate the final temperature when 1.00 kcal of heat transfers into 1.00 kg of the following, originally at 20.0C : (a) water; (b) concrete; (c) steel; and (d) mercury. Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. If a woman rubs her hands back and forth for a total of 20 rubs, at a distance of 7.50 cm per rub, and with an average frictional force of 40.0 N, what is the temperature increase? The mass of tissues warmed is only 0.100 kg, mostly in the palms and fingers. A 0.250-kg block of a pure material is heated from. Q: Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into what energy? Choices: - kinetic energy - motion energy - layer energy - thermal energy A:
**Answer**
thermal energy

Answer the following question given this paragraph: A combustion reaction occurs when a substance reacts quickly with oxygen (O 2 ). You can see an example of a combustion reaction in Figure below . Combustion is commonly called burning. The substance that burns is usually referred to as fuel. The products of a combustion reaction include carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and water (H 2 O). The reaction typically gives off heat and light as well. The general equation for a combustion reaction can be represented by:. Q: What occurs when a substance reacts quickly with oxygen? Choices: - convection - oxidation - catalytic conversion - combustion reaction A:
(A).
combustion reaction
