Answer the following question given this paragraph: Direction is just as important as distance in describing motion. For example, if Mia told a friend how to reach the post office from her house, she couldn't just say, "go 3 kilometers. " The friend might end up at the park instead of the post office. Mia would have to be more specific. She could say, "go west for 2 kilometers and then go north for 1 kilometer. " When both distance and direction are considered, motion is a vector. A vector is a quantity that includes both size and direction. A vector is represented by an arrow. The length of the arrow represents distance. The way the arrow points shows direction. The red arrows in Figure above are vectors for Mia's route to the school and post office. If you want to learn more about vectors, watch the videos at these URLs:. Q: When describing motion, what factor is just as important as distance? Choices: - momentum - velocity - pressure - direction A:
direction
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Insects have six legs and a pair of antennae for sensing chemicals. They also have several eyes and specialized mouthparts for feeding. Q: Insect's antennae are useful for sensing what? Choices: - contaminants - microorganisms - sunlight - chemicals A:
chemicals
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: conditions. Esters are neutral compounds that undergo hydrolysis, a reaction with water. Under acidic conditions, hydrolysis is essentially the reverse of esterification. When carried out under basic conditions, the process is called saponification. Inorganic acids also react with alcohols to form esters. Some of the most important esters in biochemistry are those formed from phosphoric acid. Amines are nitrogen-containing organic molecules derived from ammonia (NH3). A primary (1) amine (RNH2) has one organic group bonded to the nitrogen atom, a secondary (2) amine (R2NH) has two organic groups bonded to the nitrogen atom, and a tertiary (3) amine (R3N) has three organic groups bonded to the nitrogen atom. Amines are basic compounds that react with strong acids to produce ammonium (NH4+) salts. A cyclic compound in which the ring contains one or more noncarbon atoms is called a heterocyclic compound. There are many heterocyclic amines, including many physiologically important ones. Alkaloids are heterocyclic amines found in many plants. Caffeine, nicotine, and cocaine are familiar alkaloids. Organic compounds containing a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom are amides, and the carbon-to-nitrogen bond is an amide linkage (or a peptide linkage). Most amides are colorless and odorless, and the lighter ones are soluble in water. Because they are polar molecules, amides have comparatively high boiling points and melting points. Amides are synthesized from carboxylic acids and NH3 or amines. Amides are neutral compounds. They resist hydrolysis in water, but acids, bases, and enzymes catalyze the reaction. Q: Esters are neutral compounds that undergo what process, which is a reaction with water? Choices: - osmosis - cellular respiration - replication - hydrolysis A:
A: hydrolysis
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The gonads secrete sex hormones. The male gonads are called testes . They secrete the male sex hormone testosterone. The female gonads are called ovaries . They secrete the female sex hormone estrogen. Sex hormones are involved in the changes of puberty. They also control the production of gametes by the gonads. Q: The testes produce what hormone? Choices: - dopamine - insulin - estrogen - testosterone A:
Answer: testosterone

Answer the following question given this paragraph: An ecosystem is a group of living things and their environment. The word ecosystem is short for "ecological system. " Like any system, an ecosystem is a group of parts that work together. You can see examples of ecosystems in Figure below . The forest pictured is a big ecosystem. Besides trees, what living things do you think are part of the forest ecosystem? The dead tree stump in the same forest is a small ecosystem. It includes plants, mosses, and fungi. It also includes insects and worms. Q: A group of living things and their environment is called what? Choices: - community - population - biome - ecosystem A:
**Answer**
ecosystem
