Answer the following question given this paragraph: The cells you have learned about so far are much smaller than the period at the end of this sentence, so they are normally measured on a very small scale. The smallest prokaryotic cell currently known has a diameter of only 400 nm. Eukaryotic cells normally range between 1 100m in diameter. The mouse cells in Figure above are about 10 m in diameter. One exception, however, is eggs . Eggs contain the largest known single cell, and the ostrich egg is the largest of them all. The ostrich egg in Figure above is over 10,000 times larger than the mouse cell. Q: What kind of structure contains the largest known single cell? Choices: - proteins - Ovaries - sperm - egg A:
egg

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Marine biomes are found in the salt water of the ocean. Q: What type of biomes are found in the salt water of the ocean? Choices: - active - major - surreal - marine A:
marine

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Coral reefs ( Figure below ) look like big rocks, but they are actually alive. They are built from cnidarians called corals. The corals are sessile (non-moving) polyps that can use their tentacles to feed on ocean creatures that pass by. Their skeletons are made up of calcium carbonate, which is also known as limestone. Over long periods of time, their skeletons build on each other to produce large structures known as coral reefs. Coral reefs are important habitats for many different types of ocean life. Q: Although they look like big rocks, what structures that serve as habitats for many different types of ocean life are actually alive? Choices: - new forming reefs - natural reefs - southern reefs - coral reefs A:
coral reefs

Answer the following question given this paragraph: conditions. Esters are neutral compounds that undergo hydrolysis, a reaction with water. Under acidic conditions, hydrolysis is essentially the reverse of esterification. When carried out under basic conditions, the process is called saponification. Inorganic acids also react with alcohols to form esters. Some of the most important esters in biochemistry are those formed from phosphoric acid. Amines are nitrogen-containing organic molecules derived from ammonia (NH3). A primary (1) amine (RNH2) has one organic group bonded to the nitrogen atom, a secondary (2) amine (R2NH) has two organic groups bonded to the nitrogen atom, and a tertiary (3) amine (R3N) has three organic groups bonded to the nitrogen atom. Amines are basic compounds that react with strong acids to produce ammonium (NH4+) salts. A cyclic compound in which the ring contains one or more noncarbon atoms is called a heterocyclic compound. There are many heterocyclic amines, including many physiologically important ones. Alkaloids are heterocyclic amines found in many plants. Caffeine, nicotine, and cocaine are familiar alkaloids. Organic compounds containing a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom are amides, and the carbon-to-nitrogen bond is an amide linkage (or a peptide linkage). Most amides are colorless and odorless, and the lighter ones are soluble in water. Because they are polar molecules, amides have comparatively high boiling points and melting points. Amides are synthesized from carboxylic acids and NH3 or amines. Amides are neutral compounds. They resist hydrolysis in water, but acids, bases, and enzymes catalyze the reaction. Q: Esters are neutral compounds that undergo what process, which is a reaction with water? Choices: - osmosis - cellular respiration - replication - hydrolysis A:
hydrolysis
