Answer the following question given this paragraph: Endocrinologist An endocrinologist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating disorders of the endocrine glands, hormone systems, and glucose and lipid metabolic pathways. An endocrine surgeon specializes in the surgical treatment of endocrine diseases and glands. Some of the diseases that are managed by endocrinologists: disorders of the pancreas (diabetes mellitus), disorders of the pituitary (gigantism, acromegaly, and pituitary dwarfism), disorders of the thyroid gland (goiter and Graves' disease), and disorders of the adrenal glands (Cushing's disease and Addison's disease). Endocrinologists are required to assess patients and diagnose endocrine disorders through extensive use of laboratory tests. Many endocrine diseases are diagnosed using tests that stimulate or suppress endocrine organ functioning. Blood samples are then drawn to determine the effect of stimulating or suppressing an endocrine organ on the production of hormones. For example, to diagnose diabetes mellitus, patients are required to fast for 12 to 24 hours. They are then given a sugary drink, which stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin to decrease blood glucose levels. A blood sample is taken one to two hours after the sugar drink is consumed. If the pancreas is functioning properly, the blood glucose level will be within a normal range. Another example is the A1C test, which can be performed during blood screening. The A1C test measures average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months by examining how well the blood glucose is being managed over a long time. Once a disease has been diagnosed, endocrinologists can prescribe lifestyle changes and/or medications to treat the disease. Some cases of diabetes mellitus can be managed by exercise, weight loss, and a healthy diet; in other cases, medications may be required to enhance insulin release. If the disease cannot be controlled by these means, the endocrinologist may prescribe insulin injections. In addition to clinical practice, endocrinologists may also be... Q: What doctors specialize in diseases stemming from glandular issues? Choices: - anthropologists - dermatologists - oncologists - endocrinologists A:
endocrinologists
Answer the following question given this paragraph: All plants have a characteristic life cycle that includes alternation of generations . Plants alternate between haploid and diploid generations. Alternation of generations allows for both asexual and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction with spores produces haploid individuals called gametophytes . Sexual reproduction with gametes and fertilization produces diploid individuals called sporophytes . A typical plant's life cycle is diagrammed in Figure below . Q: The plants alternation between haploid and diploud generations allow it to do what? Choices: - reproduce asexually and simultaneously - reproduce sexually and autonomously - reproduce asexually and biologically - reproduce asexually and sexually A:
reproduce asexually and sexually
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Fresh water is also preserved by purifying wastewater. Wastewater is water that has been used for cleaning, washing, flushing, or manufacturing. It includes the water that goes down your shower drain and that is flushed down your toilet. Instead of dumping wastewater directly into rivers, wastewater can be purified at a water treatment plant ( Figure below ). When wastewater is recycled, waterborne diseases caused by pathogens in sewage can be prevented. What are some ways you can save water in your own house?. Q: What do we call water that has been used for cleaning, washing, flushing, or manufacturing? Choices: - Grey water - sewage - groundwater - wastewater A:
A: wastewater
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The organs of the excretory system are also parts of other organ systems. For example, your lungs are part of the respiratory system. Your lungs remove carbon dioxide from your body, so they are also part of the excretory system. More organs of the excretory system are listed below ( Table below ). Q: What two systems are the lungs part of? Choices: - stomach and excretory - heart and excretory - stomach and nervous - respiratory and excretory A:
Answer: respiratory and excretory

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sperm are male gametes, or reproductive cells. Sperm form when certain cells in the male reproductive system divide by meiosis to form haploid cells. Being haploid means they have half the number of chromosomes of other cells in the body. An adult male may produce millions of sperm each day!. Q: What type of cells are gametes? Choices: - cardiac - immune - proteins - reproductive A:
**Answer**
reproductive

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Telomerase and Aging Cells that undergo cell division continue to have their telomeres shortened because most somatic cells do not make telomerase. This essentially means that telomere shortening is associated with aging. With the advent of modern medicine, preventative health care, and healthier lifestyles, the human life span has increased, and there is an increasing demand for people to look younger and have a better quality of life as they grow older. In 2010, scientists found that telomerase can reverse some age-related conditions in mice. This may have potential in [2] regenerative medicine. Telomerase-deficient mice were used in these studies; these mice have tissue atrophy, stem 2. Jaskelioff et al. , "Telomerase reactivation reverses tissue degeneration in aged telomerase-deficient mice," Nature 469 (2011): 102-7. Q: Cells that undergo cell division continue to have their telomeres shortened, thus telomere shortening is associated with what life process? Choices: - metabolism - reducing - reproduction - aging A:
**Answer**
aging
