Answer the following question given this paragraph: Many biochemical processes occur through sequences of reactions called pathways. The total energy released by many of these pathways is much more than the energy a cell could handle if it were all released in a single step. For example, the combustion of glucose in a single step would release enough energy to kill a cell. By using a series of smaller steps that release less energy per reaction, however, the cell can extract the maximum energy from glucose without being destroyed. Referring to Equation 5.30, calculate how many grams of glucose would need to be metabolized to raise the temperature of a liver cell from an average body 3. Q: Some biochemical processes happen via sequences of reactions which are called what? Choices: - synthesis - mutations - metabolism - pathways A:
pathways
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Light microscopes allow biologists to see small details of a specimen. Most of the microscopes used in schools and laboratories are light microscopes. Light microscopes use lenses, typically made of glass or plastic, to focus light either into the eye, a camera, or some other light detector. The most powerful light microscopes can make images up to 2,000 times larger. Q: How much larger can the most powerful light microscropes make an image? Choices: - 500 times - 10 times - 100 times - 2000 times A:
2000 times
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: When plants reproduce, the offspring has characteristics similar to the? Choices: - grandparents - cousins - siblings - parents A:
A: parents
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The partial geologic time scale in Figure below shows when some of the major events in animal evolution took place. The oldest animal fossils are about 630 million years old, so presumably animals evolved around that time or somewhat earlier. The earliest animals were aquatic invertebrates. The first vertebrates evolved around 550 million years ago. By 500 million years ago, most modern phyla of animals had evolved. The first terrestrial animals evolved about 50 million years after that. Q: The earliest animals were which kind of invertebrates? Choices: - insects - mammals - dinosaurs - aquatic A:
Answer: aquatic

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The last major ice age took place in the Pleistocene. This epoch lasted from 2 million to 14,000 years ago. Earth's temperature was only 5 C (9 F) cooler than it is today. But glaciers covered much of the Northern Hemisphere. In Figure below , you can see how far south they went. Clearly, a small change in temperature can have a big impact on the planet. Humans lived during this ice age. Q: The last major ice age took place in which era? Choices: - miocene - pliocene - cenozoic - pleistocene A:
**Answer**
pleistocene
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Parasitic fungi often cause illness and may eventually kill their host. They are the major cause of disease in agricultural plants. Fungi also parasitize animals, such as the insect pictured in Figure below . Fungi even parasitize humans. Did you ever have athelete's foot? If so, you were the host of a parasitic fungus. Q: Parasitic fungi often cause illness and may eventually do what to their hosts? Choices: - reproduce with them - mutate them - become them - kill them A:
(A).
kill them
