Answer the following question given this paragraph: Parasitic fungi often cause illness and may eventually kill their host. They are the major cause of disease in agricultural plants. Fungi also parasitize animals, such as the insect pictured in Figure below . Fungi even parasitize humans. Did you ever have athelete's foot? If so, you were the host of a parasitic fungus. Q: Parasitic fungi often cause illness and may eventually do what to their hosts? Choices: - reproduce with them - mutate them - become them - kill them A:
kill them

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Acetyl-CoA is formed from the breakdown of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. It is used in many biochemical pathways. Q: Acetyl-coa is formed from the breakdown of carbohydrates, lipids, and what else? Choices: - hormones - acids - hydrocarbons - proteins A:
(Answer)
proteins
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The solubility of gases is also affected by pressure. Pressure is the force pushing against a given area. Increasing the pressure on a gas increases its solubility. Did you ever open a can of soda and notice how it fizzes out of the can? Soda contains dissolved carbon dioxide. Opening the can reduces the pressure on the gas in solution, so it is less soluble. As a result, some of the carbon dioxide comes out of solution and rushes into the air. Q: Increasing the pressure on a gas has what effect on its solubility? Choices: - decrease - halt - slow - increase A:
Ans: increase

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Jasmonates play a major role in defense responses to herbivory. Their levels increase when a plant is wounded by a predator, resulting in an increase in toxic secondary metabolites. They contribute to the production of volatile compounds that attract natural enemies of predators. For example, chewing of tomato plants by caterpillars leads to an increase in jasmonic acid levels, which in turn triggers the release of volatile compounds that attract predators of the pest. Oligosaccharins also play a role in plant defense against bacterial and fungal infections. They act locally at the site of injury, and can also be transported to other tissues. Strigolactones promote seed germination in some species and inhibit lateral apical development in the absence of auxins. Strigolactones also play a role in the establishment of mycorrhizae, a mutualistic association of plant roots and fungi. Brassinosteroids are important to many developmental and physiological processes. Signals between these compounds and other hormones, notably auxin and GAs, amplifies their physiological effect. Apical dominance, seed germination, gravitropism, and resistance to freezing are all positively influenced by hormones. Root growth and fruit dropping are inhibited by steroids. Q: Apical dominance, seed germination, gravitropism, and resistance to freezing are all positively influenced by what type of chemicals in plants? Choices: - pesticides - enzymes - photosynthesis - hormones A:
(A).
hormones
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Glial Cells of the CNS One cell providing support to neurons of the CNS is the astrocyte, so named because it appears to be star-shaped under the microscope (astro- = "star"). Astrocytes have many processes extending from their main cell body (not axons or dendrites like neurons, just cell extensions). Those processes extend to interact with neurons, blood vessels, or the connective tissue covering the CNS that is called the pia mater (Figure 12.11). Generally, they are supporting cells for the neurons in the central nervous system. Some ways in which they support neurons in the central nervous system are by maintaining the concentration of chemicals in the extracellular space, removing excess signaling molecules, reacting to tissue damage, and contributing to the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The blood-brain barrier is a physiological barrier that keeps many. Q: Contributing to the blood-brain barrier is one of the jobs of glial cells, which support neurons in what system? Choices: - peripheral nervous system - circulatory system - digestive system - central nervous system A:

Ans:central nervous system
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Respiratory Therapist Respiratory therapists or respiratory practitioners evaluate and treat patients with lung and cardiovascular diseases. They work as part of a medical team to develop treatment plans for patients. Respiratory therapists may treat premature babies with underdeveloped lungs, patients with chronic conditions such as asthma, or older patients suffering from lung disease such as emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They may operate advanced equipment such as compressed gas delivery systems, ventilators, blood gas analyzers, and resuscitators. Specialized programs to become a respiratory therapist generally lead to a bachelor's degree with a respiratory therapist specialty. Because of a growing aging population, career opportunities as a respiratory therapist are expected to remain strong. Q: Respiratory therapists or respiratory practitioners evaluate and treat patients diseases affecting what part of the body? Choices: - byproduct , heart , and blood vessels - brain, stomach, heart - heart, lungs, stomach - lung, heart, and blood vessels A:

Ans:
lung, heart, and blood vessels
