Answer the following question given this paragraph: A small child darts in front of your bike as you race down the street. You see the child and immediately react. You put on the brakes, steer away from the child, and yell out a warning, all in just a split second. How do you respond so quickly? Such rapid responses are controlled by your nervous system. The nervous system is a complex network of nervous tissue that carries electrical messages throughout the body. It includes the brain and spinal cord, the central nervous system , and nerves that run throughout the body, the peripheral nervous system (see Figure below ). To understand how nervous messages can travel so quickly, you need to know more about nerve cells. Q: What is the complex network of nervous tissue that carries electrical messages throughout the body? Choices: - respiratory system - circulatory system - lymphatic system - nervous system A:
nervous system
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The convection zone is where convection takes place. It is located outward from the radiative zone. Q: What zone is outside the radiative zone? Choices: - diffusion zone - activation zone - peripheral zone - convection zone A:
convection zone
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: ability to diversify at each step. The totipotent stem cell is the zygote, or fertilized egg. The totipotent (toti- = "all") stem cell gives rise to all cells of the human body. The next level is the pluripotent stem cell, which gives rise to multiple types of cells of the body and some of the supporting fetal membranes. Beneath this level, the mesenchymal cell is a stem cell that develops only into types of connective tissue, including fibrous connective tissue, bone, cartilage, and blood, but not epithelium, muscle, and nervous tissue. One step lower on the hierarchy of stem cells is the hemopoietic stem cell, or hemocytoblast. All of the formed elements of blood originate from this specific type of cell. Hemopoiesis begins when the hemopoietic stem cell is exposed to appropriate chemical stimuli collectively called hemopoietic growth factors, which prompt it to divide and differentiate. One daughter cell remains a hemopoietic stem cell, allowing hemopoiesis to continue. The other daughter cell becomes either of two types of more specialized stem cells (Figure 18.4): Lymphoid stem cells give rise to a class of leukocytes known as lymphocytes, which include the various T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, all of which function in immunity. However, hemopoiesis of lymphocytes progresses somewhat differently from the process for the other formed elements. In brief, lymphoid stem cells quickly migrate from the bone marrow to lymphatic tissues, including the lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus, where their production and differentiation continues. B cells are so named since they mature in the bone marrow, while T cells mature in the thymus. Myeloid stem cells give rise to all the other formed elements, including the erythrocytes; megakaryocytes that produce platelets; and a myeloblast lineage that gives rise to monocytes and three forms of granular leukocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Q: Which cell gives rise to all cells of the human body? Choices: - signaler stem cell - omnipoten stem cell - schwann stem cell - totipotent stem cell A:
A: totipotent stem cell
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Ribosomes Ribosomes are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. When viewed through an electron microscope, free ribosomes appear as either clusters or single tiny dots floating freely in the cytoplasm. Ribosomes may be attached to either the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane or the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum (Figure 3.7). Electron microscopy has shown that ribosomes consist of large and small subunits. Ribosomes are enzyme complexes that are responsible for protein synthesis. Because protein synthesis is essential for all cells, ribosomes are found in practically every cell, although they are smaller in prokaryotic cells. They are particularly abundant in immature red blood cells for the synthesis of hemoglobin, which functions in the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Q: What term is used to describe the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis? Choices: - chromosomes - chloroplasts - nuclei - ribosomes A:
Answer: ribosomes
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Alloys can be one of two general types. In one type, called a substitutional alloy, the various atoms simply replace each other in the crystal structure. In another type, called an interstitial alloy, the smaller atoms such as carbon fit in between the larger atoms in the crystal packing arrangement. Q: Historically, malaria has rivaled what as the leading cause of human death by infectious disease? Choices: - heart attack - hepatitis - cancer - tuberculosis A:
**Answer**
tuberculosis
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In eukaryotic cells, the start of transcription is one of the most complicated parts of gene regulation. There may be many regulatory proteins and regulatory elements involved. Regulation may also involve enhancers. Enhancers are distant regions of DNA that can loop back to interact with a gene's promoter. Q: Which is one of the most complicated parts of gene regulation in eukaryotic cells? Choices: - middle of transcription - aftermath of transcription - end of transcription - start of transcription A:
A: start of transcription
