input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 17.6 The Adrenal Glands The adrenal glands, located superior to each kidney, consist of two regions: the adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla. The adrenal cortexthe outer layer of the glandproduces mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens. The adrenal medulla at the core of the gland produces epinephrine and norepinephrine. The adrenal glands mediate a short-term stress response and a long-term stress response. A perceived threat results in the secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal medulla, which mediate the fight-or-flight response. The long-term stress response is mediated by the secretion of CRH from the hypothalamus, which triggers ACTH, which in turn stimulates the secretion of corticosteroids from the adrenal cortex. The mineralocorticoids, chiefly aldosterone, cause sodium and fluid retention, which increases blood volume and blood pressure. Q: What is the outer layer of the adrenal gland called? A:
OPTIONS:
- adrenal skin
- zona reticularis
- medulla
- adrenal cortex
output: adrenal cortex

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system ( Figure below ). Saturn's mass is about 95 times Earth's mass. The gas giant is 755 times Earth's volume. Despite its large size, Saturn is the least dense planet in our solar system. Saturn is actually less dense than water. This means that if there were a bathtub big enough, Saturn would float! In Roman mythology, Saturn was the father of Jupiter. Saturn orbits the Sun once about every 30 Earth years. Q: What is the second largest planet in the solar system? A:

OPTIONS:
- Venus
- jupiter
- Mars
- saturn

Answer: saturn

Problem: OPTIONS:
- diffusion
- diffusion
- shrinking
- contraction
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Each muscle in the body is made up of cells called muscle fibers. Muscle fibers are long, thin cells that can do something that other cells cannot dothey are able to get shorter. Shortening of muscle fibers is called contraction . Muscle fibers can contract because they are made of proteins, called actin and myosin, that form long filaments (or fibers). When muscles contract, these protein filaments slide or glide past one another, shortening the length of the cell. When your muscles relax, the length extends back to the previous position. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction. Q: Shortening of muscle fibers is called what?' A:
Answer: contraction

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Many species use their body shape and coloration to avoid being detected by predators. The tropical walking stick is an insect with the coloration and body shape of a twig which makes it very hard to see when stationary against a background of real twigs (Figure 45.20a). In another example, the chameleon can change its color to match its surroundings (Figure 45.20b). Both of these are examples of camouflage, or avoiding detection by blending in with the background. Q: Many species use their body shape and coloration to avoid what? A:

OPTIONS:
- exposure
- sunlight
- human contact
- detection by predators

Answer:
detection by predators
