Answer the following question given this paragraph: Introduction Virtually every task performed by living organisms requires energy. Energy is needed to perform heavy labor and exercise, but humans also use a great deal of energy while thinking, and even during sleep. In fact, the living cells of every organism constantly use energy. Nutrients and other molecules are imported, metabolized (broken down) and possibly synthesized into new molecules, modified if needed, transported around the cell, and may be distributed to the entire organism. For example, the large proteins that make up muscles are actively built from smaller molecules. Complex carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars that the cell uses for energy. Just as energy is required to both build and demolish a building, energy is required for both the synthesis and breakdown of molecules. Additionally, signaling molecules such as hormones and neurotransmitters are transported between cells. Pathogenic bacteria and viruses are ingested and broken down by cells. Cells must also export waste and toxins to stay healthy, and many cells must swim or move surrounding materials via the beating motion of cellular appendages like cilia and flagella. The cellular processes listed above require a steady supply of energy. From where, and in what form, does this energy come? How do living cells obtain energy, and how do they use it? This chapter will discuss different forms of energy and the physical laws that govern energy transfer. This chapter will also describe how cells use energy and replenish it, and how chemical reactions in the cell are performed with great efficiency. Q: What is required for both the synthesis and breakdown of molecules? A:

OPTIONS:
- sunlight
- mixing
- heating
- energy

Answer: energy

Problem: OPTIONS:
- lymphatic buds
- leafy buds
- arterial buds
- axillary buds
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: The activation of what kind of buds induces branching? A:
Answer: axillary buds

Problem:OPTIONS:
- fast heart beat
- heart burn
- pass out
- heart attack

Answer the following question given this paragraph: A heart attack happens when the blood cannot reach the heart because a blood vessel is blocked. If cardiac muscle is starved of oxygen for more than roughly five minutes, it will die. Cardiac muscle cells cannot be replaced, so once they die, they are dead forever. Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death of adults in the United States. The image below shows the way in which a blocked coronary artery can cause a heart attack and cause part of the heart muscle to die ( Figure below ). Maybe one day stem cells will be used to replace dead cardiac muscle cells. Q: What happens when the blood cannot reach the heart because a blood vessel is blocked? A:
****
A: heart attack

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Low levels of estrogens and progesterone are also associated with some disease states, such as osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, and hyperlipidemia, or abnormal blood lipid levels. Testosterone levels also decline with age, a condition called andropause (or viropause); however, this decline is much less dramatic than the decline of estrogens in women, and much more gradual, rarely affecting sperm production until very old age. Although this means that males maintain their ability to father children for decades longer than females, the quantity, quality, and motility of their sperm is often reduced. As the body ages, the thyroid gland produces less of the thyroid hormones, causing a gradual decrease in the basal metabolic rate. The lower metabolic rate reduces the production of body heat and increases levels of body fat. Parathyroid hormones, on the other hand, increase with age. This may be because of reduced dietary calcium levels, causing a compensatory increase in parathyroid hormone. However, increased parathyroid hormone levels combined with decreased levels of calcitonin (and estrogens in women) can lead to osteoporosis as PTH stimulates demineralization of bones to increase blood calcium levels. Notice that osteoporosis is common in both elderly males and females. Increasing age also affects glucose metabolism, as blood glucose levels spike more rapidly and take longer to return to normal in the elderly. In addition, increasing glucose intolerance may occur because of a gradual decline in cellular insulin sensitivity. Almost 27 percent of Americans aged 65 and older have diabetes. Q: How do parathyroid hormones react as a body ages? A:
OPTIONS:
- use with age
- decrease with age
- help with age
- increase with age
increase with age

OPTIONS:
- cardiovascular system
- digestive system
- immune system
- central nervous system

Answer: central nervous system

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, has been in use since ancient times.

Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is widely used in musical instruments like the trumpet and trombone. Q: What is an alloy of copper and tin? A:
OPTIONS:
- zinc
