Answer the following question given this paragraph: Gamma rays are the most energetic of all electromagnetic waves. They can pass through most materials, including bones and teeth. Nonetheless, even these waves are useful. For example, they can be used to treat cancer. A medical device sends gamma rays the site of the cancer, and the rays destroy the cancerous cells.

Choices: - ultraviolet - infrared - X-ray - gamma rays A:
gamma rays
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling down on an object, whereas buoyant force pushes up on an object. Which force is greater determines whether an object sinks or floats. Look at the Figure below . On the left, the object's weight is the same as the buoyant force acting on it, so the object floats. On the right, the object's weight is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, so the object sinks. Q: Weight is a measure of what force pulling down on an object? Choices: - light - distortion - motion - gravity A:
gravity
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens (16291695) developed a useful technique for determining in detail how and where waves propagate. Starting from some known position, Huygens's principle states that: Every point on a wavefront is a source of wavelets that spread out in the forward direction at the same speed as the wave itself. The new wavefront is a line tangent to all of the wavelets. Figure 27.5 shows how Huygens's principle is applied. A wavefront is the long edge that moves, for example, the crest or the trough. Each point on the wavefront emits a semicircular wave that moves at the propagation speed v . These are drawn at a time t later, so that they have moved a distance s = vt . The new wavefront is a line tangent to the wavelets and is where we would expect the wave to be a time t later. Huygens's principle works for all types of waves, including water waves, sound waves, and light waves. We will find it useful not only in describing how light waves propagate, but also in explaining the laws of reflection and refraction. In addition, we will see that Huygens's principle tells us how and where light rays interfere. Q: Dutch scientist christiaan huygens' principle of what states that every point on a wavefront is a source of wavelets that spread out in the forward direction at the speed of the wave itself? Choices: - electromagnetic dynamics - energy propagation - wave dynamics - wave propagation A:
A: wave propagation
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cytokinesis is the final step in cell division. It often occurs concurrently with telophase, though it is a separate process. Cytokinesis ( Figure below ) differs between plant and animal cells. In animal cells, the plasma membrane pinches inward along the cell's equator until two cells are formed. Specifically, a cleavage furrow containing a contractile ring develops in approximately the middle of the cell (similar to the position of the metaphase plate), essentially pinching off the two nuclei and forming separate cells. In plant cells, a cell plate forms along the cells equator. A new membrane grows along each side of the cell plate, with a new cell wall forming on the outside of each new membrane. Q: Which is the final step of cell division? Choices: - genesys - Mitosis - electrolysis - cytokinesis A:
Answer: cytokinesis

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Weather makes life interesting. Weather also causes weathering. Weathering is the slow wearing down of rocks on Earth's surface. Wind-blown sand scours rocks like sandpaper. Glaciers of ice scrape across rock surfaces like a file. Even gentle rain may seep into rocks and slowly dissolve them. If the water freezes, it expands. This eventually causes the rocks to crack. Without the atmosphere, none of this weathering would happen. Rocks at the surface would be pristine and unaltered. Q: What is the term for the slow wearing down of rocks on earth's surface? Choices: - slipping - evaporation - experiencing - weathering A:
**Answer**
weathering

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle that helps make and transport proteins and lipids. It's made of folded membranes. Bits of membrane can pinch off to form tiny sacs called vesicles. The vesicles carry proteins or lipids away from the ER. Q: What is the name of the organelle that helps make and transport proteins and lipids? Choices: - plasma membrane - nucleus - mitochondria - endoplasmic reticulum A:
**Answer**
endoplasmic reticulum
