Answer the following question given this paragraph: There are other units in chemistry that are important, and we will cover others in the course of the entire book. One of the fundamental quantities in science is temperature. Temperature is a measure of the average amount of energy of motion, or kinetic energy, a system contains. Temperatures are expressed using scales that use units called degrees, and there are several temperature scales in use. In the United States, the commonly used temperature scale is the Fahrenheit scale (symbolized by F and spoken as "degrees Fahrenheit"). On this scale, the freezing point of liquid water (the temperature at which liquid water turns to solid ice) is 32F, and the boiling point of water (the temperature at which liquid water turns to steam) is 212F. Science also uses other scales to express temperature. The Celsius scale (symbolized by C and spoken as "degrees Celsius") is a temperature scale where 0C is the freezing point of water and 100C is the boiling point of water; the scale is divided into 100 divisions between these two landmarks and extended higher and lower. By comparing the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales, a conversion between the two scales can be determined: C=(F32)59 Saylor URL: http://www. saylor. org/books.

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The bottom two chambers of the heart are called the left and right ventricles. The ventricles receive blood from the atria and pump it out of the heart, either to the lungs or to the rest of the body. Q: What structures receive blood from the atria and pump it out of the heart? Choices: - valves - muscles - Vascular Fibers - ventricles A:
A: ventricles

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Leukemia is a type of cancer in which bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells. The abnormal cells can't do their job of fighting infections. Like most cancers, leukemia is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is the most common cancer in children. Q: What is the type of cancer where bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells? Choices: - anemia - kidney - liver - leukemia A:
**Answer**
leukemia
