Answer the following question given this paragraph: Noctilucent clouds are the highest clouds in the atmosphere. Q: What are the highest clouds in the atmosphere? Choices: - alto clouds - nebulous clouds - silicic clouds - noctilucent clouds A:
noctilucent clouds
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Tight junctions are common at epithelia, which are sheets of cells that form a boundary between a mass of cells and a cavity or space (a lumen ). The membranes of these cells join together, forming a virtually impermeable barrier to fluid. Tight junctions essentially seal adjacent epithelial cells in a narrow layer just beneath their apical surface, which is the portion of the cell exposed to the lumen. The rest of the cell surface is known as the basolateral surface. Tight junctions prevent integral membrane proteins from moving between the apical and basolateral surface, maintaining the properties of those distinct surfaces. For example, receptor-mediated endocytosis occurs at the apical surface and exocytosis at the basolateral surface. Q: What is the term for sheets of cells that form a boundary between a mass of cells and a cavity or space? Choices: - mucus - myelin - ganglion - epithelia A:
epithelia
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The muscles of the anterior compartment of the thigh flex the thigh and extend the leg. This compartment contains the quadriceps femoris group, which actually comprises four muscles that extend and stabilize the knee. The rectus femoris is on the anterior aspect of the thigh, the vastus lateralis is on the lateral aspect of the thigh, the vastus medialis is on the medial aspect of the thigh, and the vastus intermedius is between the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis and deep to the rectus femoris. The tendon common to all four is the quadriceps tendon (patellar tendon), which inserts into the patella and continues below it as the patellar ligament. The patellar ligament attaches to the tibial tuberosity. In addition to the quadriceps femoris, the sartorius is a band-like muscle that extends from the anterior superior iliac spine to the medial side. Q: Which muscle is a band-like muscle that extends from the anterior superior iliac spine to the medial side? Choices: - vastus medialis - tibialis anterior - soleus - sartorius A:
A: sartorius
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Forms of Energy The forms of energy include thermal energy, radiant energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, and chemical energy (Figure 5.1 "Forms of Energy"). Thermal energy results from atomic and molecular motion; the faster the motion, the greater the thermal energy. The temperature of an object is a measure of its thermal energy content. Radiant energy is the energy carried by light, microwaves, and radio waves. Objects left in bright sunshine or exposed to microwaves become warm because much of the radiant energy they absorb is converted to thermal energy. Electrical energy results from the flow of electrically charged particles. When the ground and a cloud develop a separation of charge, for example, the resulting flow of electrons from one to the other produces lightning, a natural form of electrical energy. Nuclear energy is stored in the nucleus of an atom, and chemical energy is stored within a chemical compound because of a particular arrangement of atoms. (a) Thermal energy results from atomic and molecular motion; molten steel at 2000C has a very high thermal energy content. (b) Radiant energy (e. , from the sun) is the energy in light, microwaves, and radio waves. (c) Lightning is an example of electrical energy, which is due to the flow of electrically charged particles. (d)Nuclear. Q: The temperature of an object is a measure of what type of energy? Choices: - chemical - magnetic - density - thermal A:
Answer: thermal
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: levels. If a solid has a filled valence band with a relatively low-lying empty band above it (a conduction band), then electrons can be excited by thermal energy from the filled band into the vacant band where they can then migrate through the crystal, resulting in electrical conductivity. Electrical insulators are poor conductors because their valence bands are full. Semiconductors have electrical conductivities intermediate between those of insulators and metals. The electrical conductivity of semiconductors increases rapidly with increasing temperature, whereas the electrical conductivity of metals decreases slowly with increasing temperature. The properties of semiconductors can be modified by doping, or introducing impurities. Adding an element with more valence electrons than the atoms of the host populates the conduction band, resulting in an n-type semiconductor with increased electrical conductivity. Adding an element with fewer valence electrons than the atoms of the host generates holes in the valence band, resulting in a p-type semiconductor that also exhibits increased electrical conductivity. Q: What happens to the electrical conductivity of metals when placed in a pot of boiling water? Choices: - stays the same - increases slowly - increases quickly - decreases slowly A:
**Answer**
decreases slowly
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Both flukes and tapeworms are parasites with vertebrate hosts, including human hosts. Flukes live in the host's circulatory system or liver. Tapeworms live in the host's digestive system. Usually, more than one type of host is required to complete the parasite's life cycle. Look at the life cycle of the liver fluke in Figure below . As an adult, the fluke has a vertebrate host. As a larva, it has an invertebrate host. If you follow the life cycle, you can see how each host becomes infected so the fluke can continue its life cycle. Q: Both flukes and tapeworms are parasites with what kind of host? Choices: - insect - trees - cells - vertebrate A:
A: vertebrate
