Answer the following question given this paragraph: Metatarsal Bones The anterior half of the foot is formed by the five metatarsal bones, which are located between the tarsal bones of the posterior foot and the phalanges of the toes (see Figure 8.19). These elongated bones are numbered 15, starting with the medial side of the foot. The first metatarsal bone is shorter and thicker than the others. The second metatarsal is the longest. The base of the metatarsal bone is the proximal end of each metatarsal bone. These articulate with the cuboid or cuneiform bones. The base of the fifth metatarsal has a large, lateral expansion that provides for muscle attachments. This expanded base of the fifth metatarsal can be felt as a bony bump at the midpoint along the lateral border of the foot. The expanded distal end of each metatarsal is the head of the metatarsal bone. Each metatarsal bone articulates with the proximal phalanx of a toe to form a metatarsophalangeal joint. The heads of the metatarsal bones also rest on the ground and form the ball (anterior end) of the foot. Q: The anterior half of the foot is formed by the five what type of bones? Choices: - malignancy bones - conidia bones - conidia bones - metatarsal bones A:
metatarsal bones
Answer the following question given this paragraph: 17.4 The Thyroid Gland The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in the neck anterior to the trachea. Its hormones regulate basal metabolism, oxygen use, nutrient metabolism, the production of ATP, and calcium homeostasis. They also contribute to protein synthesis and the normal growth and development of body tissues, including maturation of the nervous system, and they increase the body's sensitivity to catecholamines. The thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) are produced and secreted by the thyroid gland in response to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary. Synthesis of the amino acidderived T3 and T4 hormones requires iodine. Insufficient amounts of iodine in the diet can lead to goiter, cretinism, and many other disorders. Q: What gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in the neck anterior to the trachea? Choices: - pituitary gland - pineal gland - adrenal gland - thyroid gland A:
thyroid gland
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: Both androgen secretion and spermatogenesis occur continuously starting with what? Choices: - birth - mutation - walking - puberty A:
A: puberty
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase, a component of the electron transport chain. If cyanide poisoning occurs, would you expect the pH of the intermembrane space to increase or decrease? What effect would cyanide have on ATP synthesis?. Q: Which component of the electron transport chain does cyanide inhibit? Choices: - succinate dehydrogenase - adenosine diphosphate - mitochondrial matrix - cytochrome c oxidase A:
Answer: cytochrome c oxidase

Answer the following question given this paragraph: What happens when forces of evolution work over a long period of time? The answer is macroevolution. An example is the evolution of a new species. Q: What happens when forces of evolution work over a long period of time? Choices: - substantial evolution - Microevolution - developmental evolution - macroevolution A:
**Answer**
macroevolution
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Populations of viruses do not grow through cell division because they are not cells. Instead, they use the machinery and metabolism of a host cell to produce new copies of themselves. After infecting a host cell, a virion uses the cell's ribosomes, enzymes, ATP, and other components to replicate. Viruses vary in how they do this. For example:. Q: Populations of viruses do not grow through cell division because they? Choices: - Static - Acidic - non living - are not cells A:
A: are not cells
