Q: Aflatoxins are toxic, carcinogenic compounds released by fungi of this? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Aflatoxins are toxic, carcinogenic compounds released by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Periodically, harvests of nuts and grains are tainted by aflatoxins, leading to massive recall of produce. This sometimes ruins producers and causes food shortages in developing countries.

Q: Why do waves travel faster through solids? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The speed of most waves depends on the medium, or the matter through which the waves are traveling. Generally, waves travel fastest through solids and slowest through gases. That's because particles are closest together in solids and farthest apart in gases. When particles are farther apart, it takes longer for the energy of the disturbance to pass from particle to particle through the medium. At the following URL, you can watch an animation showing what happens when a wave passes from one medium to another. Choices: - particles fuse together - particles range together - particles pipe together - particles closer together A:
particles closer together

Q: How many valence electrons do neutral phosphorus atoms have? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The highest-numbered shell is the third shell, which has 2 electrons in the 3s subshell and 3 electrons in the 3p subshell. That gives a total of 5 electrons, so neutral phosphorus atoms have 5 valence electrons. The 10 remaining electrons, from the first and second shells, are core electrons. Choices: - nine - three - four - five A:
five

Q: What do dendrites receive signals from? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Choices: - hormones - fibers - electrons - neurons A:
