input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 4.3 | Connective Tissue Supports and Protects By the end of this section, you will be able to: Identify and distinguish between the types of connective tissue: proper, supportive, and fluid Explain the functions of connective tissues As may be obvious from its name, one of the major functions of connective tissue is to connect tissues and organs. Unlike epithelial tissue, which is composed of cells closely packed with little or no extracellular space in between, connective tissue cells are dispersed in a matrix. The matrix usually includes a large amount of extracellular material produced by the connective tissue cells that are embedded within it. The matrix plays a major role in the functioning of this tissue. The major component of the matrix is a ground substance often crisscrossed by protein fibers. This ground substance is usually a fluid, but it can also be mineralized and solid, as in bones. Connective tissues come in a vast variety of forms, yet they typically have in common three characteristic components: cells, large amounts of amorphous ground substance, and protein fibers. The amount and structure of each component correlates with the function of the tissue, from the rigid ground substance in bones supporting the body to the inclusion of specialized cells; for example, a phagocytic cell that engulfs pathogens and also rids tissue of cellular debris. Q: Connective tissues typically have three characteristic components in common: cells, large amounts of amorphous ground substance, and what else? A:
OPTIONS:
- antioxidants
- hormones
- white blood cells
- protein fibers
output: protein fibers

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Ionic and covalent compounds are held together by electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged particles. Describe the differences in the nature of the attractions in ionic and covalent compounds. Which class of compounds contains pairs of electrons shared between bonded atoms?. Q: What holds ionic and covalent compounds together? A:

OPTIONS:
- gravity
- water
- magnetic force
- electrostatic attractions

A: electrostatic attractions

input: OPTIONS:
- reduced
- static
- missing
- in excess Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The stoichiometry of a reaction describes the relative amounts of reactants and products in a balanced chemical equation. A stoichiometric quantity of a reactant is the amount necessary to react completely with the other reactant(s). If a quantity of a reactant remains unconsumed after complete reaction has occurred, it is in excess. The reactant that is consumed first and limits the amount of product(s) that can be obtained is the limiting reactant. To identify the limiting reactant, calculate the number of moles of each reactant present and compare this ratio to the mole ratio of the reactants in the balanced chemical equation. The maximum amount of product(s) that can be obtained in a reaction from a given amount of reactant(s) is the theoretical yield of the reaction. The actual yieldis the amount of product(s) actually obtained in the reaction; it cannot exceed the theoretical yield. The percent yield of a reaction is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, expressed as a percentage. Q: If a quantity of a reactant remains unconsumed after complete reaction has occurred, it is? A:
A:
output: in excess

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: One seismogram indicates the distance to the epicenter. This is determined by the P-and S-wave arrival times. If a quake is near the seismograph, the S-waves arrive shortly after the P-waves. If a quake is far from the seismograph, the P-waves arrive long before the S-waves. The longer the time is between the P-and S-wave arrivals, the further away the earthquake was from the seismograph. First, seismologists calculate the arrival time difference. Then they know the distance to the epicenter from that seismograph. Q: One seismogram indicates the distance to the what? A:
Answer: epicenter

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The highest-numbered shell is the third shell, which has 2 electrons in the 3s subshell and 3 electrons in the 3p subshell. That gives a total of 5 electrons, so neutral phosphorus atoms have 5 valence electrons. The 10 remaining electrons, from the first and second shells, are core electrons. Q: How many valence electrons do neutral phosphorus atoms have? A:

OPTIONS:
- nine
- three
- four
- five

Answer:
five
