Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: CHAPTER REVIEW 17.1 An Overview of the Endocrine System The endocrine system consists of cells, tissues, and organs that secrete hormones critical to homeostasis. The body coordinates its functions through two major types of communication: neural and endocrine. Neural communication includes both electrical and chemical signaling between neurons and target cells. Endocrine communication involves chemical signaling via the release of hormones into the extracellular fluid. From there, hormones diffuse into the bloodstream and may travel to distant body regions, where they elicit a response in target cells. Endocrine glands are ductless glands that secrete hormones. Many organs of the body with other primary functionssuch as the heart, stomach, and kidneysalso have hormone-secreting cells. Q: The endocrine system consists of cells, tissues, and organs that secrete what critical to homeostasis? A:
Answer: hormones

Problem:OPTIONS:
- boiling
- steaming
- transpiration
- melting

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Processes in which matter changes between liquid and solid states are freezing and melting. Q: Processes in which matter changes between liquid and solid states are freezing and? A:
****
A: melting

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Macrophages are large WBCs that can also swallow and destroy old and dying cells, bacteria, or viruses. Below, a macrophage is attacking and swallowing two particles, possibly disease-causing pathogens ( Figure below ). Macrophages also release chemical messages that cause the number of WBCs to increase. Q: Macrophages, which can swallow and destroy old and dying cells, bacteria, or viruses, are large types of what cells? A:
OPTIONS:
- red blood cells
- white brain cells
- dendritic cells
- white blood cells
white blood cells

Answer the following question given this paragraph: All radioactive decay is dangerous to living things, but alpha decay is the least dangerous. Q: What is the least dangerous radioactive decay? A:
OPTIONS:
- beta decay
- gamma decay
- zeta decay
- alpha decay

Answer: alpha decay

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Another major step in animal evolution was the evolution of a notochord. A notochord is a rigid rod that runs the length of the body. It supports the body and gives it shape (see Figure below ). It also provides a place for muscles to anchor, and counterbalances them when they contract. Animals with a notochord are called chordates. They also have a hollow nerve cord that runs along the top of the body. Gill slits and a tail are two other chordate features. Many modern chordates have some of these structures only as embryos. Q: A major step in animal evolution was the evolution of what rigid rod that runs the length of the body? A:
OPTIONS:
- limbic system
- endoderm
- mitochondria
- notochord
Answer: notochord

input: OPTIONS:
- conifers
- mammals
- aviators
- archosaurs Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Evolution of Birds The evolutionary history of birds is still somewhat unclear. Due to the fragility of bird bones, they do not fossilize as well as other vertebrates. Birds are diapsids, meaning they have two fenestrations or openings in their skulls. Birds belong to a group of diapsids called the archosaurs, which also includes crocodiles and dinosaurs. It is commonly accepted that birds evolved from dinosaurs. Dinosaurs (including birds) are further subdivided into two groups, the Saurischia ("lizard like") and the Ornithischia ("bird like"). Despite the names of these groups, it was not the bird-like dinosaurs that gave rise to modern birds. Rather, Saurischia diverged into two groups: One included the long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs, such as Apatosaurus. The second group, bipedal predators called theropods, includes birds. This course of evolution is suggested by similarities between theropod. Q: Birds belong to a group of diapsids called the what? A:
A:
output:
archosaurs
