Answer the following question given this paragraph: Linnaeus developed binomial nomenclature , a way to give a scientific name to every organism. In this system, each organism receives a two-part name in which the first word is the genus (a group of species), and the second word refers to one species in that genus. For example, a coyote's species name is Canis latrans . Latrans is the species and Canis is the genus, a larger group that includes dogs, wolves, and other dog-like animals. Here is another example: the red maple, Acer rubra , and the sugar maple, Acer saccharum , are both in the same genus and they look similar ( Figure below ). Notice that the genus is capitalized and the species is not, and that the whole scientific name is in italics. Tigers (Panthera tigris) and lions (Panthera leo) have the same genus name, but are obviously different species. The names may seem strange, but the names are written in a language called Latin. Q: Linnaeus developed binomial nomenclature, which means each organism is assigned what? Choices: - complex name - simple name - single name - two-part name A:
two-part name
Answer the following question given this paragraph: If the temperature of a gas sample is decreased, the volume decreases as well. Q: If the temperature of a gas sample is decreased, what happens to the volume? Choices: - increases - stays the same - expands - decreases A:
decreases
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Electronic components are the parts used in electronic devices. They are made of p-type and n-type semiconductors. Examples of electronic components include diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits (microchips). Q: What are diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits examples of? Choices: - computer parts - radio parts - machine parts - electronic components A:
A: electronic components
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: With less ozone in the stratosphere, more UV rays reach the ground. More UV rays increase skin cancer rates. Just a 1 percent loss of ozone causes a 5 percent increase in skin cancer. More UV rays also harm plants and phytoplankton. As a result, they produce less food. This may affect entire ecosystems. Q: More uv rays reach the ground due to a decrease in what layer in the stratosphere? Choices: - troposphere - smog - gases - ozone A:
Answer: ozone

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Connections of Lipid and Glucose Metabolisms The lipids that are connected to the glucose pathways are cholesterol and triglycerides. Cholesterol is a lipid that contributes to cell membrane flexibility and is a precursor of steroid hormones. The synthesis of cholesterol starts with acetyl groups and proceeds in only one direction. The process cannot be reversed. Triglycerides are a form of long-term energy storage in animals. Triglycerides are made of glycerol and three fatty acids. Animals can make most of the fatty acids they need. Triglycerides can be both made and broken down through parts of the glucose catabolism pathways. Glycerol can be phosphorylated to glycerol-3-phosphate, which continues through glycolysis. Fatty acids are catabolized in a process called beta-oxidation that takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria and converts their fatty acid chains into two carbon units of acetyl groups. The acetyl groups are picked up by CoA to form acetyl CoA that proceeds into the citric acid cycle. Q: The lipids that are connected to the glucose pathways are cholesterol and triglycerides. cholesterol is a lipid that contributes to cell membrane flexibility and is a precursor of this? Choices: - ammonia hormones - Somatostatin - Thrombopoietin - steroid hormones A:
**Answer**
steroid hormones
Answer the following question given this paragraph: When an acid and a base react, the reaction is called a neutralization reaction . That's because the reaction produces neutral products. Water is always one product, and a salt is also produced. A salt is a neutral ionic compound. You can learn more about salts and how they form at this URL: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=zjIVJh4JLNo . Q: What is the reaction called when an acid and a base react? Choices: - activation - oxidation - decomposition - neutralization A:
neutralization
