Answer the following question given this paragraph: USDA, photo by Scott Bauer. Deer ticks are the vectors for Lyme disease . public domain. Q: Deer ticks are the vectors for what disease that affects humans? Choices: - dengue fever - ringworm - malaria - lyme disease A:
lyme disease
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Heat and light are forms of energy. Other forms are chemical and electrical energy. Energy can't be created or destroyed. It can change form. For example, a piece of wood has chemical energy stored in its molecules. When the wood burns, the chemical energy changes to heat and light energy. Q: How do plants support themselves above the ground to get light and oxygen? Choices: - momentum - flaccid stems - symbiosis - stiff stems A:
stiff stems
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: Providing evidence of their ancestry, some species of what legless animals retain vestigial pelvic and limb bones? Choices: - dolphins - sharks - whales - snakes A:
A: snakes
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cell transport refers to the movement of substances across the cell membrane. Probably the most important feature of a cell's phospholipid membranes is that they are selectively permeable. A membrane that is selectively permeable , or semipermeable, has control over what molecules or ions can enter or leave the cell, as shown in Figure below . This feature allows a cell to control the transport of materials, as dictated by the cell's function. The permeability of a membrane is dependent on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids and proteins. In this way, cell membranes help maintain a state of homeostasis within cells (and tissues, organs, and organ systems) so that an organism can stay alive and healthy. Q: Cell transport refers to the movement of substances across what structure? Choices: - cell wall - chloroplasm - phloem - cell membrane A:
Answer: cell membrane

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Populations usually grow bigger when they have what they need. How fast they grow depends on birth and death rates. They grow more slowly as they get close to the carrying capacity. This is the biggest population the environment can support. Q: When populations get close to the carrying capacity, what happens to growth? Choices: - halts - dies - spikes - slows A:
**Answer**
slows

Answer the following question given this paragraph: One way mammals lose excess heat is by increasing blood flow to the skin. This warms the skin so heat can be given off to the environment. That's why you may get flushed, or red in the face, when you exercise on a hot day. You are likely to sweat as well. Sweating also reduces body heat. Sweat wets the skin, and when it evaporates, it cools the body. Evaporation uses energy, and the energy comes from body heat. Animals with fur, such as dogs, use panting instead of sweating to lose body heat (see Figure below ). Evaporation of water from the tongue and other moist surfaces of the mouth and throat uses heat and helps cool the body. Q: How do dogs lose body heat? Choices: - barking - sweating - eating - panting A:
(Answer)
panting
