Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In this lesson, you learned some of the ways that humans differ from other mammals. For example, humans have a larger and more complex brain than other mammals. That's why they are also the most intelligent mammals. The next chapter introduces the biology of the human animal. Q: What mammal is the most intelligent? A:

OPTIONS:
- dog
- monkey
- lion
- humans

A: humans

input: OPTIONS:
- crystalline
- metamorphic
- igneous
- sedimentary Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sedimentary rocks are laid down horizontally with the oldest at the bottom. Q: What type of rocks are laid down horizontally with the oldest at the bottom? A:
A:
output: sedimentary

Answer the following question given this paragraph: A combustion reaction occurs when a substance reacts quickly with oxygen (O 2 ). You can see an example of a combustion reaction in Figure below . Combustion is commonly called burning. The substance that burns is usually referred to as fuel. The products of a combustion reaction include carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and water (H 2 O). The reaction typically gives off heat and light as well. The general equation for a combustion reaction can be represented by:. Q: What occurs when a substance reacts quickly with oxygen? A:

OPTIONS:
- convection
- oxidation
- catalytic conversion
- combustion reaction

Answer: combustion reaction

Problem: OPTIONS:
- exponentially
- rapidly
- steadily
- slowly
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: With logistic growth, the population starts out growing slowly, and then the rate of growth increasesbut only to a point. The rate of growth tapers off as the population size approaches its carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is the largest population size that can be supported in an area without harming the environment. This type of growth characterizes many populations. Q: With logistic growth, how does population growth start out? A:
Answer: slowly

Problem:OPTIONS:
- constant
- normative
- normal
- relative

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Relative dating determines which of two fossils is older or younger than the other but not their age in years. Relative dating is based on the positions of fossils in rock layers. Lower rock layers were laid down earlier, so they are assumed to contain older fossils. This is illustrated in Figure below . Q: What type of dating determines which of two fossils is older or younger than the other but not their age in years? A:
****
A: relative

Problem:OPTIONS:
- arsenic
- chlorine
- water
- iodine

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Endocrine System: Iodine Deficiency, Hypothyroidism, and Hyperthyroidism As discussed above, dietary iodine is required for the synthesis of T3 and T4. But for much of the world's population, foods do not provide adequate levels of this mineral, because the amount varies according to the level in the soil in which the food was grown, as well as the irrigation and fertilizers used. Marine fish and shrimp tend to have high levels because they concentrate iodine from seawater, but many people in landlocked regions lack access to seafood. Thus, the primary source of dietary iodine in many countries is iodized salt. Fortification of salt with iodine began in the United States in 1924, and international efforts to iodize salt in the world's poorest nations continue today. Dietary iodine deficiency can result in the impaired ability to synthesize T3 and T4, leading to a variety of severe disorders. When T3 and T4 cannot be produced, TSH is secreted in increasing amounts. As a result of this hyperstimulation, thyroglobulin accumulates in the thyroid gland follicles, increasing their deposits of colloid. The accumulation of colloid increases the overall size of the thyroid gland, a condition called a goiter (Figure 17.14). A goiter is only a visible indication of the deficiency. Other iodine deficiency disorders include impaired growth and development, decreased fertility, and prenatal and infant death. Moreover, iodine deficiency is the primary cause of preventable mental retardation worldwide. Neonatal hypothyroidism (cretinism) is characterized by cognitive deficits, short stature, and sometimes deafness and muteness in children and adults born to mothers who were iodinedeficient during pregnancy. Q: A goiter is a visible indication of deficiency of what? A:
****
A:
iodine
