Answer the following question given this paragraph: In this image, you see small pools of elemental mercury. The Latin name for mercury is hydrargyrum, a compound word meaning "water-silver" (hydr- = water, -argyros = silver), since it is liquid like water but shiny like silver. Mercury is the only pure metal that exists as a liquid at room temperature. Q: What is the latin name for mercury? Choices: - trichina - stibium - spirogyra - hydrargyrum A:

Answer the following question given this paragraph: After a polypeptide chain is synthesized, it may undergo additional processes. For example, it may assume a folded shape due to interactions among its amino acids. It may also bind with other polypeptides or with different types of molecules, such as lipids or carbohydrates. Many proteins travel to the Golgi apparatus to be modified for the specific job they will do. You can see how this occurs by watching the animation at this link: http://vcell. ndsu. edu/animations/proteinmodification/movie-flash. htm . Q: What part of a cell do proteins travel to to be modified for the specific job they will do? Choices: - plasma membrane - lysosome - nucleus - golgi apparatus A:
golgi apparatus
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Mitochondria are thought to have evolved from ancient prokaryotic cells. Q: Mitochondria are thought to have evolved from what kind of cells? Choices: - ancient ribosome - ancient phosphorylation - ancient matrix - ancient prokaryotic A:
A: ancient prokaryotic
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Outside of chromosome 21 and the sex chromosomes, most embryos with extra chromosomes do not usually survive. Because chromosomes carry many, many genes, a disruption of a chromosome can cause severe problems with the development of a fetus. Individuals with one (or more) fewer chromosome usually don't survive either. Can you explain why?. Q: Embryos usually don't survive if they have extra or too few of these genetic units? Choices: - phenotypes - genes - ribosomes - chromosomes A:
Answer: chromosomes

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Air temperature changes with altitude. This does not occur in the same way as pressure and density, which decrease with altitude. Changes in air temperature are not regular. A change in temperature with distance is called a temperature gradient . Q: A change in temperature with distance is called a what? Choices: - oxygen gradient - speed gradient - solution gradient - temperature gradient A:
A: temperature gradient
