Answer the following question given this paragraph: After a mass extinction, many habitats are no longer inhabited by organisms because they have gone extinct. With new habitats available, some species will adapt to the new environments. Evolutionary processes act rapidly during these times. Many new species evolve to fill those available habitats. The process in which many new species evolve in a short period of time to fill available niches is called adaptive radiation . At the end of this period of rapid evolution, the life forms do not look much like the ones that were around before the mass extinction. One example came after the extinction of the dinosaurs. Mammals underwent adaptive radiation and became the dominant life form. Although they lived in the habitats the dinosaurs had lived in, they didn't look much like the dinosaurs. Q: What is the process in which many new species evolve in a short period of time to fill available niches called? Choices: - adaptation - learned behavior - spontaneous mutation - adaptive radiation A:
adaptive radiation

Answer the following question given this paragraph: All the atoms of a given element have the same number of protons and electrons. The number of neutrons, however, may vary for atoms of the same element. For example, almost 99 percent of carbon atoms have six neutrons, but the rest have either seven or eight neutrons. Atoms of an element that differ in their numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. The nuclei of these isotopes of carbon are shown in the Figure below . The isotope called carbon-14 is used to find the ages of fossils. You can learn how at this URL: http://science. howstuffworks. com/environmental/earth/geology/carbon-14. htm . Q: How many neutrons do 99% of carbon atoms have? Choices: - sixteen - five - eight - six A:
(Answer)
six
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: According to the cell theory , all living things are made up of cells, which is the structural unit of living organisms, and living cells always come from other living cells. In fact, each living thing begins life as a single cell. Some living things, such as bacteria, remain single-celled. Other living things, including plants and animals, grow and develop into many cells. Your own body is made up of an amazing 100 trillion cells! But even youlike all other living thingsbegan life as a single cell. Q: What is your body made up of? Choices: - skin - millions of elements - energy - trillions of cells A:
Ans: trillions of cells

Answer the following question given this paragraph: 12.5 The Onset of Turbulence Sometimes we can predict if flow will be laminar or turbulent. We know that flow in a very smooth tube or around a smooth, streamlined object will be laminar at low velocity. We also know that at high velocity, even flow in a smooth tube or around a smooth object will experience turbulence. In between, it is more difficult to predict. In fact, at intermediate velocities, flow may oscillate back and forth indefinitely between laminar and turbulent. An occlusion, or narrowing, of an artery, such as shown in Figure 12.17, is likely to cause turbulence because of the irregularity of the blockage, as well as the complexity of blood as a fluid. Turbulence in the circulatory system is noisy and can sometimes be detected with a stethoscope, such as when measuring diastolic pressure in the upper arm's partially collapsed brachial artery. These turbulent sounds, at the onset of blood flow when the cuff pressure becomes sufficiently small, are called Korotkoff sounds. Aneurysms, or ballooning of arteries, create significant turbulence and can sometimes be detected with a stethoscope. Heart murmurs, consistent with their name, are sounds produced by turbulent flow around damaged and insufficiently closed heart valves. Ultrasound can also be used to detect turbulence as a medical indicator in a process analogous to Doppler-shift radar used to detect storms. Q: Turbulent sounds, at the onset of blood flow when the cuff pressure becomes sufficiently small are called? Choices: - pinworm sounds - whooping sounds - choanocyte sounds - korotkoff sounds A:
(A).
korotkoff sounds
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: The jointed appendages of arthropods may be used as legs for walking. Being jointed makes them more flexible. Try walking or climbing stairs without bending your knees, and you'll see why joints are helpful. In most arthropods, the appendages on the head have been modified for other functions. Figure below shows some of the head appendages found in arthropods. Sensory organs such as eyes are also found on the head. Q: What may the jointed appendages of arthropods be used for? Choices: - jumping - crawling - digging - walking A:

Ans:walking
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: where k is a constant equal to Electric Potential. Q: What radiation, generally produced by thermal motion and the vibration and rotation of atoms and molecules, literally means "below red"? Choices: - microscopic - ultraviolet - gamma radiation - infrared A:
Answer:
infrared
