Answer the following question given this paragraph: Telescopes on Earth all have one big problem: Incoming light must pass through the atmosphere. This blocks some wavelengths of radiation. Also, motion in the atmosphere distorts light. You see this when you see stars twinkling in the night sky. Many observatories are built on high mountains. There is less air above the telescope, so there is less interference from the atmosphere. Space telescopes avoid such problems completely since they orbit outside the atmosphere. Q: Space telescopes avoid such problems completely since they orbit outside the what? Choices: - ozone layer - galaxy - earth's crust - atmosphere A:
atmosphere
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sexual Reproduction Sexual reproduction is the combination of (usually haploid) reproductive cells from two individuals to form a third (usually diploid) unique offspring. Sexual reproduction produces offspring with novel combinations of genes. This can be an adaptive advantage in unstable or unpredictable environments. As humans, we are used to thinking of animals as having two separate sexesmale and femaledetermined at conception. However, in the animal kingdom, there are many variations on this theme. Hermaphroditism Hermaphroditism occurs in animals where one individual has both male and female reproductive parts. Invertebrates such as earthworms, slugs, tapeworms and snails, shown in Figure 43.5, are often hermaphroditic. Hermaphrodites may selffertilize or may mate with another of their species, fertilizing each other and both producing offspring. Self fertilization is common in animals that have limited mobility or are not motile, such as barnacles and clams. Q: Sexual reproduction is the combination of (usually haploid) reproductive cells from two individuals to form a third (usually diploid) unique offspring. sexual reproduction produces offspring with novel combinations of what? Choices: - features - cells - phenotypes - genes A:
genes
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The bottom of the ocean is called the benthic zone. It includes the sediments on the bottom of the ocean and the water just above it. Organisms living in this zone include clams and crabs. They may be few in number due to relatively scarce nutrients in this zone. Q: The bottom of the ocean is called what? Choices: - Intertidal zone - Final zone - Demersal zone - the benthic zone A:
A: the benthic zone
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Giant tube worms are found at hydrothermal vents. They get food from the chemosynthetic bacteria that live within them. The bacteria provide food; the worms provide shelter. Q: What type of vents are giant tube worms found at? Choices: - Heated - oxygen - temperature - hydrothermal A:
Answer: hydrothermal

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Lithospheric plates do a lot of moving on Earth's surface. Slabs of lithosphere smash into each other. They move sideways past each other along faults. Where conditions are right, magma rises through solid rock. It's no wonder that rocks experience stress! Rocks respond differently to different types of stress and under different conditions. Q: What rises through solid rocks where conditions are right? Choices: - crystals - water - nitrogen - magma A:
**Answer**
magma
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Given the mass and speed of an object, calculate its kinetic energy. Q: What can be calculated given the mass and speed of an object? Choices: - harmonic energy - residual energy - systematic energy - kinetic energy A:
A: kinetic energy
