Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cellulose is another complex carbohydrate that is a polymer of glucose. However, glucose molecules are bonded together differently in cellulose than they are in starches. Cellulose molecules bundle together to form long, tough fibers, as you can see in the Figure below . Have you ever eaten raw celery? If you have, then you probably noticed that the stalks contain long, stringy fibers. The fibers are mostly cellulose. Cellulose is the most abundant biochemical compound. It makes up the cell walls of plants and gives support to stems and tree trunks. Cellulose also provides needed fiber in the human diet. We can't digest cellulose, but it helps keep food wastes moving through the digestive tract. Q: What human bodily function does cellulose help with? Choices: - stops food wastes - sleep - reproduction - moves food wastes A:
moves food wastes
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sexual reproduction is typically slower. However, it also has an advantage. Sexual reproduction results in offspring that are all genetically different. This can be a big plus for a species. The variation may help it adapt to changes in the environment. Q: What kind of reproduction results in offspring that are generally all genetically different? Choices: - perceptual - asexual - individual - sexual A:
sexual
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The rate of evolution is influenced by how quickly the environment is changing. Long periods of gradual evolutionary change may be interrupted by short bursts of rapid change. Q: The rate of evolution is influenced by the rate of changes to what? Choices: - dna - migration - the earth - the environment A:
A: the environment

Public Domain. Q: The central nervous system is composed of the brain and what else? Choices: - the sclerotic cord - the dynamic cord - the lateral cord - the spinal cord A:
Answer: the spinal cord

Answer the following question given this paragraph: A fluorescent light bulb produces visible light by fluorescence. Fluorescence occurs when a substance absorbs shorter-wavelength ultraviolet light and then gives off the energy as visible light. The compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) in the Figure below contains mercury gas that gives off ultraviolet light when electricity passes through it. The inside of the bulb is coated with a substance called phosphor. Phosphor absorbs the ultraviolet light and then gives off most of the energy as visible light. Q: What light-producing process occurs when a substance absorbs shorter-wavelength ultraviolet light and then gives off the energy as visible light? Choices: - candescence - resistance - luminescence - fluorescence A:
**Answer**
fluorescence

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The placenta permits a long period of fetal growth. As a result, the fetus can become relatively large and mature before birth. This increases its chances of survival. On the other hand, supporting a growing fetus may be difficult for the mother. She has to eat more while pregnant and may become less mobile as the fetus grows larger. Giving birth to a large infant is also risky. Q: The fetus becoming relatively large and mature before birth increases the chances of what? Choices: - disease - mutations - intelligence - survival A:
**Answer**
survival
