Answer the following question given this paragraph: Imagine that you are a scientist. While collecting water samples at a local pond, you notice a frog with five legs instead of four ( Figure below ). As you start to look around, you discover that many of the frogs have extra limbs, extra eyes, or no eyes. One frog even has limbs coming out of its mouth. These are your observations , or things you notice about an environment using your five senses. Q: In terms of scientific investigation, things you notice about an environment using your five senses are called what? Choices: - evidence - behaviors - patterns - observations A:
observations

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Underground water can be heated by magma. The hot water moves through cracks below Earth's surface. Hot water can hold more dissolved particles than cold water. The hot, salty solution has chemical reactions with the rocks around it. The water picks up more dissolved particles. As it flows through open spaces in rocks, the water deposits solid minerals. When a mineral fills cracks in rocks, the deposits are called "veins. " Figure below shows a white quartz vein. When the minerals are deposited in open spaces, large crystals grow. These rocks are called geodes. Figure below shows a "geode" that was formed when amethyst crystals grew in an open space in a rock. Q: What are the mineral deposits that fill in underground cracks called? Choices: - cores - currents - motherlode - veins A:
veins

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cecum The first part of the large intestine is the cecum, a sac-like structure that is suspended inferior to the ileocecal valve. It is about 6 cm (2.4 in) long, receives the contents of the ileum, and continues the absorption of water and salts. The appendix (or vermiform appendix) is a winding tube that attaches to the cecum. Although the 7.6-cm (3-in) long appendix contains lymphoid tissue, suggesting an immunologic function, this organ is generally considered vestigial. However, at least one recent report postulates a survival advantage conferred by the appendix: In diarrheal illness, the appendix may serve as a bacterial reservoir to repopulate the enteric bacteria for those surviving the initial phases of the illness. Moreover, its twisted anatomy provides a haven for the accumulation and multiplication of enteric bacteria. The mesoappendix, the mesentery of the appendix, tethers it to the mesentery of the ileum. Q: What is the first part of the large intestine called? Choices: - duodenum - colon - jejunum - cecum A:
cecum

Answer the following question given this paragraph: It is hard to overstate the importance of hydrocarbons to modern life. Hydrocarbons have even been called the "driving force of western civilization. " You saw some ways they are used in the opening image. Several other ways are pictured in the Figure below . The most important use of hydrocarbons is for fuel. Gasoline, natural gas, fuel oil, diesel fuel, jet fuel, coal, kerosene, and propane are just some of the commonly used hydrocarbon fuels. Hydrocarbons are also used to make things, including plastics and synthetic fabrics such as polyester. Q: Gasoline, natural gas, fuel oil, diesel fuel, jet fuel, coal, kerosene, and propane are examples of what type of fule? Choices: - electrolysis fuel - polymerization fuel - nuclear fue - hydrocarbon fuel A:
hydrocarbon fuel
