Answer the following question given this paragraph: Loud sounds can cause hearing loss by damaging hair cells in the inner ear. The louder the sounds are, the less exposure is needed to cause hearing loss. Q: What is damaged in the inner ear by loud sounds that cause hearing loss? Choices: - tympanic membrane - ear drum - hammer and anvil - hair cells A:
hair cells
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: It may be logical to assume that the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride, called brine , would yield the same result through the same reactions as the process in molten NaCl. However, the reduction reaction that occurs at the cathode does not produce sodium metal because the water is reduced instead. This is because the reduction potential for water is only -0.83 V compared to -2.71 V for the reduction of sodium ions. This makes the reduction of water preferable because its reduction potential is less negative. Chlorine gas is still produced at the anode, just as in the electrolysis of molten NaCl. Q: Where is chlorine gas produced? Choices: - in the nucleus - carbon cycle - epidermis - at the anode A:
A: at the anode
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Thunderstorms form when the ground is really hot ( Figure below ). The air near the ground becomes very warm and humid. This is true in some locations in late afternoon or early evening in spring and summer. The warm air rises rapidly, which creates strong updrafts. When the rising air cools, its water vapor condenses. The updrafts create tall cumulonimbus clouds. Winds blow the cloud top sideways. This makes the well-known anvil shape of a cloud known as a thunderhead ( Figure below ). Water droplets and ice fly up through the cloud. When these droplets get heavy enough, they fall. This starts a downdraft. A convection cell develops within the cloud. A mature thunderstorm produces gusty winds, lightning, heavy rain, and hail. Q: What weather phenomenon is caused by strong warm updrafts from heated ground? Choices: - eruptions - currents - earthquakes - thunderstorms A:
Answer: thunderstorms

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Squamous Cell Carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma is a cancer that affects the keratinocytes of the stratum spinosum and presents as lesions commonly found on the scalp, ears, and hands (Figure 5.19). It is the second most common skin cancer. The American Cancer Society reports that two of 10 skin cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, and it is more aggressive than basal cell carcinoma. If not removed, these carcinomas can metastasize. Surgery and radiation are used to cure squamous cell carcinoma. Q: What is the second most common skin cancer? Choices: - basal cell carcinoma - melanoma - precancerous cell carcinoma - squamous cell carcinoma A:
**Answer**
squamous cell carcinoma

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Infectious diseases are diseases that spread from person to person. They are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses or fungi. What can you do to avoid infectious diseases? Eating right and getting plenty of sleep are a good start. These habits will help keep your immune system healthy. With a healthy immune system, you will be able to fight off many pathogens. The next best way is to avoid pathogens. Though this is difficult, there are steps you can take to limit your exposure to pathogens. Q: What system is responsible for defending your body against sickness? Choices: - nervous system - circulatory system - digestion system - immune system A:
**Answer**
immune system
