Q: What substance is removed from waste as it passes through the large intestine? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Food waste enters the large intestine from the small intestine in a liquid state. As the waste moves through the large intestine, excess water is absorbed from it. The remaining solid waste is called feces. After a certain amount of feces have collected, a sphincter relaxes to let the feces pass out of the body through the anus. This is elimination. Choices: - blood - nutrients - air - water A:
water

Q: Genes are used to make mrna by the process of transcription; mrna is used to synthesize proteins by the process of what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: 9.4 Translation The central dogma describes the flow of genetic information in the cell from genes to mRNA to proteins. Genes are used to make mRNA by the process of transcription; mRNA is used to synthesize proteins by the process of translation. The genetic code is the correspondence between the three-nucleotide mRNA codon and an amino acid. The genetic code is "translated" by the tRNA molecules, which associate a specific codon with a specific amino acid. The genetic code is degenerate because 64 triplet codons in mRNA specify only 20 amino acids and three stop codons. This means that more than one codon corresponds to an amino acid. Almost every species on the planet uses the same genetic code. The players in translation include the mRNA template, ribosomes, tRNAs, and various enzymatic factors. The small ribosomal subunit binds to the mRNA template. Translation begins at the initiating AUG on the mRNA. The formation of bonds occurs between sequential amino acids specified by the mRNA template according to the genetic code. The ribosome accepts charged tRNAs, and as it steps along the mRNA, it catalyzes bonding between the new amino acid and the end of the growing polypeptide. The entire mRNA is translated in three-nucleotide "steps" of the ribosome. When a stop codon is encountered, a release factor binds and dissociates the components and frees the new protein. Choices: - production - moderation - modification - translation A:
translation

Q: Q: Where is the food supply and embryo stored in a seed? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: reproductive structure produced by a seed plant that contains an embryo and food supply enclosed within a hull. Choices: - epicotyl - plumule - tegmen - hull A:
A: hull

Question: Q: What is the top layer of water farther from shore called? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The top layer of water farther from shore is called the limnetic zone. There is enough light for photosynthesis and plenty of dissolved oxygen. However, dissolved nutrients tend not to be as plentiful as they are in the littoral zone. Producers here are mainly phytoplankton. A variety of zooplankton and fish also occupy this zone. Choices: - Tidal Zone - semimetal zone - Beach Zone - limnetic zone A:
Answer: limnetic zone

Q: What kind of proteins either activate or deactivate the transcription of other genes? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: What makes the heart form during development? What makes the skin form? What makes a structure become an arm instead of a leg? These processes occur during development because of a highly specific pattern of gene expression. This intensely regulated pattern of gene expression turns genes on in the right cell at the right time, such that the resulting proteins can perform their necessary functions to ensure proper development. Transcription factors play an extremely important role during development. Many of these proteins can be considered master regulatory proteins , in the sense that they either activate or deactivate the transcription of other genes and, in turn, these secondary gene products can regulate the expression of still other genes in a regulatory cascade. Homeobox genes and gap genes are important classes of transcription factors utilized during development. Choices: - carbon proteins - perfect regulatory proteins - master complex proteins - master regulatory proteins A:
**Answer**
master regulatory proteins

Q: What is the name given to anything that has mass and takes up space? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Choices: - organism - molecule - vacuum - matter A:
matter
