It is an endless recycling process that involves the oceans, lakes and other bodies of water, as well as the land surfaces and the atmosphere. The steps in the water cycle are as follows, starting with the water in the oceans:. Q: Where do the steps in the water cycle begin? A:
A:
output: the ocean

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Heart: Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. It occurs when the buildup of plaquea fatty material including cholesterol, connective tissue, white blood cells, and some smooth muscle cellswithin the walls of the arteries obstructs the flow of blood and decreases the flexibility or compliance of the vessels. This condition is called atherosclerosis, a hardening of the arteries that involves the accumulation of plaque. As the coronary blood vessels become occluded, the flow of blood to the tissues will be restricted, a condition called ischemia that causes the cells to receive insufficient amounts of oxygen, called hypoxia. Figure 19.16 shows the blockage of coronary arteries highlighted by the injection of dye. Some individuals with coronary artery disease report pain radiating from the chest called angina pectoris, but others remain asymptomatic. If untreated, coronary artery disease can lead to MI or a heart attack. Q: What is the leading cause of death worldwide? A:

OPTIONS:
- lung disease
- cancer
- liver failure
- coronary artery disease

Answer: coronary artery disease

Problem: OPTIONS:
- pattern
- presentation
- icon
- model
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A model is a representation of an object, system, or process. For example, a road map is a representation of an actual system of roads on the ground. Models are very useful in science. They provide a way to investigate things that are too small, large, complex, or distant to investigate directly. To be useful, a model must closely represent the real thing in important ways, but it must be simpler and easier to understand than the real thing. Q: What term means a representation of an object, system, or process? A:
Answer: model

Problem:OPTIONS:
- etheric
- endothermic
- mimetic
- ectothermic

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Early vertebrates were ectothermic. Ectothermy means controlling body temperature to just a limited extent from the outside by changing behavior. For example, an ectotherm might stay in the shade to keep cool on a hot, sunny day. On a cold day, an ectotherm might bask in the sun to warm up, like the snake in Figure below . Almost all living fish, amphibians, and reptiles are ectothermic. They can raise or lower their body temperature by their behavior but not by very much. In cold weather, an ectotherm cools down. As its body temperature drops, its metabolism slows down and it becomes inactive. Q: What type of vertebrates control body temperature to just a limited extent from the outside by changing behavior? A:
****
A: ectothermic

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Plants also detect and respond to the daily cycle of light and darkness. For example, some plants open their leaves during the day to collect sunlight and then close their leaves at night to prevent water loss. Environmental stimuli that indicate changing seasons trigger other responses. Many plants respond to the days growing shorter in the fall by going dormant . They suspend growth and development in order to survive the extreme cold and dryness of winter. Dormancy ensures that seeds will germinate and plants will grow only when conditions are favorable. Q: What do plants do to prevent water loss at night? A:
OPTIONS:
- close their stems
- shed their petals
- open their petals
- close their leaves
close their leaves

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Worldwide Distribution of Malaria. This map shows where malaria is found. The area is determined by the mosquito vector. The mosquito can live year-round only in the red-shaded areas. Q: The vector of what organism is significant on a map showing the location of malaria? A:
OPTIONS:
- virus
- worm
- fungi
- mosquito

Answer:
mosquito
