Answer the following question given this paragraph: Additionally, the yellow marrow, which is found in the central cavity of long bones along with red marrow, serves as a storage site for fat. 42 Structurally, the femur is a long bone, meaning its length is greater than its width, while the patella, a sesamoid bone, is small and round. Functionally, the femur acts as a lever, while the patella protects the patellar tendon from compressive forces. 44 The densely packed concentric rings of matrix in compact bone are ideal for resisting compressive forces, which is the function of compact bone. The open spaces of the trabeculated network of spongy bone allow spongy bone to support shifts in weight distribution, which is the function of spongy bone. 46 A single primary ossification center is present, during endochondral ossification, deep in the periosteal collar. Like the primary ossification center, secondary ossification centers are present during endochondral ossification, but they form later, and there are two of them, one in each epiphysis. 48 The internal callus is produced by cells in the endosteum and is composed of a fibrocartilaginous matrix. The external callus is produced by cells in the periosteum and consists of hyaline cartilage and bone. 50 Astronauts floating in space were not exerting significant pressure on their bones; they were "weightless. " Without the force of gravity exerting pressure on the bones, bone mass was lost. To alleviate this condition, astronauts now do resistive exercise designed to apply forces to the bones and thus help keep them healthy. 52 Under "normal" conditions, receptors in the parathyroid glands bind blood calcium. When the receptors are full, the parathyroid gland stops secreting PTH. In the condition described, the parathyroid glands are not responding to the signal that there is sufficient calcium in the blood and they keep releasing PTH, which causes the bone to release more calcium into the blood. Ultimately, the bones become fragile and hypercalcemia can result. Q: When it was found that, without the force of gravity exerting pressure on the bones, bone mass was lost in astronauts, what kind of exercise provided an antidote? Choices: - aerobic - anaerobic - sedentary - resistive A:
resistive

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Many kinds of waves exist, such as sound waves and water waves. Visible light is also a wave. It is a specific type of a more general phenomenon called an electromagnetic wave. All waves can be described in terms of the basic physical properties frequency and wavelength . These two properties are related to the speed of a wave by the following equation:. Q: What type of wave is visible light? Choices: - static - radio - acoustic - electromagnetic A:
(Answer)
electromagnetic
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The ice ages were very recent as Earth history goes. The animals are familiar, but they're still very different from modern ones. For one thing, most of them were huge. A small surface area-to-volume ratio is better for keeping warm (less surface to lose heat from). Although the dominant animals were mammals, the Pleistocene Earth still does not look quite modern. Q: The mars rover collected round clumps of crystals that, on earth, usually form in what? Choices: - rocks - volcanoes - air - water A:
Ans: water
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Air temperature in the stratosphere layer increases with altitude. Why? The stratosphere gets most of its heat from the Sun. Therefore, it's warmer closer to the Sun. The air at the bottom of the stratosphere is cold. The cold air is dense, so it doesn't rise. As a result, there is little mixing of air in this layer. Q: Where does the stratosphere get most of its heat? Choices: - time - earth - volcanoes - sun A:
(A).
sun
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Chemical cells are found in batteries. They produce voltage by means of chemical reactions. Chemical cells have two electrodes, which are strips of different materials, such as zinc and carbon. The electrodes are suspended in an electrolyte. This is a substance that contains free ions, which can carry electric current. The electrolyte may be either a paste, in which case the cell is called a dry cell, or a liquid, in which case the cell is called a wet cell. Flashlight batteries contain dry cells. Car batteries contain wet cells. Q: Batteries produce voltage through what type of reaction? Choices: - liquid - non-chemical - thermal - chemical A:

Ans:chemical
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What bodily structures consist of the endothelium and its basal lamina? Choices: - veins - muscles - fibers - capillaries A:
capillaries
