Answer the following question given this paragraph: Electromagnetic waves vary in their wavelengths, frequencies, and energy levels. The full range of electromagnetic waves makes up the electromagnetic spectrum. Q: What do we call the full range of electromagnetic waves? Choices: - electromagnetic scale - molecular spectrum - mechanical spectrum - electromagnetic spectrum A:
electromagnetic spectrum

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Detecting Electromagnetic Waves from Space A final note on star gazing. The entire electromagnetic spectrum is used by researchers for investigating stars, space, and time. As noted earlier, Penzias and Wilson detected microwaves to identify the background radiation originating from the Big Bang. Radio telescopes such as the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico and Parkes Observatory in Australia were designed to detect radio waves. Infrared telescopes need to have their detectors cooled by liquid nitrogen to be able to gather useful signals. Since infrared radiation is predominantly from thermal agitation, if the detectors were not cooled, the vibrations of the molecules in the antenna would be stronger than the signal being collected. The most famous of these infrared sensitive telescopes is the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii. The earliest telescopes, developed in the seventeenth century, were optical telescopes, collecting visible light. Telescopes in the ultraviolet, X-ray, and -ray regions are placed outside the atmosphere on satellites orbiting the Earth. The Hubble Space Telescope (launched in 1990) gathers ultraviolet radiation as well as visible light. In the X-ray region, there is the Chandra X-ray Observatory (launched in 1999), and in the -ray region, there is the new Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (launched in 2008taking the place of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, 19912000. PhET Explorations: Color Vision Make a whole rainbow by mixing red, green, and blue light. Change the wavelength of a monochromatic beam or filter white light. View the light as a solid beam, or see the individual photons. Q: What is used for cooling detectors of infrared telescopes? Choices: - hand nitrogen - material nitrogen - carbon dioxide - liquid nitrogen A:
(Answer)
liquid nitrogen
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Earth's magnetosphere is controlled by the magnetic field. The magnetosphere protects the planet from the solar wind . The solar wind is ions that fly from the Sun to Earth very fast. The magnetosphere protects Earth's ozone layer. So life on Earth needs the protection of the magnetosphere. Q: What controls earth's magnetosphere? Choices: - ionosphere - stratosphere - gravitational field - magnetic field A:
Ans: magnetic field
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Genes that are located on the same chromosome are called linked genes . Alleles for these genes tend to segregate together during meiosis, unless they are separated by crossing-over. Crossing-over occurs when two homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material during meiosis I. The closer together two genes are on a chromosome, the less likely their alleles will be separated by crossing-over. At the following link, you can watch an animation showing how genes on the same chromosome may be separated by crossing-over: http://www. biostudio. com/d_%20Meiotic%20Recombination%20Between%20Linked%20Genes. htm . Q: Linked genes are located on the same what? Choices: - genome - nucleolus - bacterium - chromosome A:
(A).
chromosome
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Scientists compare the anatomy, embryos, and DNA of living things to understand how they evolved. Evidence for evolution is provided by homologous structures. These are structures shared by related organisms that were inherited from a common ancestor. Other evidence is provided by analogous structures. These are structures that unrelated organisms share because they evolved to do the same job. Q: What type of structures evolved to do the same job by unrelated organisms? Choices: - symmetrical structures - primal structures - dioxide structures - analogous structures A:

Ans:analogous structures
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Complement An array of approximately 20 types of proteins, called a complement system, is also activated by infection or the activity of the cells of the adaptive immune system and functions to destroy extracellular pathogens. Liver cells and macrophages synthesize inactive forms of complement proteins continuously; these proteins are abundant in the blood serum and are capable of responding immediately to infecting microorganisms. The complement system is so named because it is complementary to the innate and adaptive immune system. Complement proteins bind to the surfaces of microorganisms and are particularly attracted to pathogens that are already tagged by the adaptive immune system. This "tagging" involves the attachment of specific proteins called antibodies (discussed in detail later) to the pathogen. When they attach, the antibodies change shape providing a binding site for one of the complement proteins. After the first few complement proteins bind, a cascade of binding in a specific sequence of proteins follows in which the pathogen rapidly becomes coated in complement proteins. Complement proteins perform several functions, one of which is to serve as a marker to indicate the presence of a pathogen to phagocytic cells and enhance engulfment. Certain complement proteins can combine to open pores in microbial cell membranes and cause lysis of the cells. Q: Which proteins bind to the surfaces of microorganisms and are particularly attracted to pathogens that are already tagged by the adaptive immune system? Choices: - attractive proteins - mobilize proteins - whereby proteins - complement proteins A:
complement proteins
