Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Virtually all animals have internal digestion of food. Animals consume other organisms and may use special tissues and organs to digest them. (Many other organisms absorb nutrients directly from the environment. ). Q: What do nearly all animals have in common with regards to digestion? Choices: - external digestion of food - complete digestion of food - problematic digestion of food - internal digestion of food A:
A: internal digestion of food

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cellulose is another polymer of glucose, consisting of anywhere from hundreds to over ten thousand monomers. It is the structural component of the cell walls of green plants and is the single most common organic molecule on Earth. Roughly 33% of all plant matter is cellulose. The linkage structure in cellulose is different than that of starch, and cellulose is indigestible except by a few microorganisms that live in the digestive tracts of cattle and termites. The figure below shows a triple strand of cellulose. There is no branching and the fibers adopt a very stiff rod-like structure with numerous hydrogen bonds between the fibers adding to its strength. Cellulose is the main component of paper, cardboard, and textiles made from cotton, linen, and other plant fibers. Q: What is the main component of paper, cardboard, and textiles made from cotton, linen, and other plant fibers? Choices: - pulp - cambium - vascular tissue - cellulose A:
A: cellulose

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: saliva. Although there may be a tendency to think that mechanical digestion is limited to the first steps of the digestive process, it occurs after the food leaves the mouth, as well. The mechanical churning of food in the stomach serves to further break it apart and expose more of its surface area to digestive juices, creating an acidic "soup" called chyme. Segmentation, which occurs mainly in the small intestine, consists of localized contractions of circular muscle of the muscularis layer of the alimentary canal. These contractions isolate small sections of the intestine, moving their contents back and forth while continuously subdividing, breaking up, and mixing the contents. By moving food back and forth in the intestinal lumen, segmentation mixes food with digestive juices and facilitates absorption. In chemical digestion, starting in the mouth, digestive secretions break down complex food molecules into their chemical building blocks (for example, proteins into separate amino acids). These secretions vary in composition, but typically contain water, various enzymes, acids, and salts. The process is completed in the small intestine. Food that has been broken down is of no value to the body unless it enters the bloodstream and its nutrients are put to work. This occurs through the process of absorption, which takes place primarily within the small intestine. There, most nutrients are absorbed from the lumen of the alimentary canal into the bloodstream through the epithelial cells that make up the mucosa. Lipids are absorbed into lacteals and are transported via the lymphatic vessels to the bloodstream (the subclavian veins near the heart). The details of these processes will be discussed later. In defecation, the final step in digestion, undigested materials are removed from the body as feces. Q: Mechanical churning of food in what organ serves to further break it apart and expose more of its surface area to digestive juices, creating an acidic "soup" called chyme? Choices: - liver - kidneys - gall bladder - stomach A:
A: stomach

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Magnetic poles always occur in pairs of north and southit is not possible to isolate north and south poles. All magnetism is created by electric current. Ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, are those that exhibit strong magnetic effects. The atoms in ferromagnetic materials act like small magnets (due to currents within the atoms) and can be aligned, usually in millimeter-sized regions called domains. Domains can grow and align on a larger scale, producing permanent magnets. Such a material is magnetized, or induced to be magnetic. Above a material's Curie temperature, thermal agitation destroys the alignment of atoms, and ferromagnetism disappears. Electromagnets employ electric currents to make magnetic fields, often aided by induced fields in ferromagnetic materials. Q: Materials, such as iron, that exhibit strong magnetic effects are labeled what? Choices: - paramagnetic - superconducting - ultramagnetic - ferromagnetic A:
A: ferromagnetic
