Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 8.2 Photoautotrophs including (a) plants, (b) algae, and (c) cyanobacteria synthesize their organic compounds via photosynthesis using sunlight as an energy source. Cyanobacteria and planktonic algae can grow over enormous areas in water, at times completely covering the surface. In a (d) deep sea vent, chemoautotrophs, such as these (e) thermophilic bacteria, capture energy from inorganic compounds to produce organic compounds. The ecosystem surrounding the vents has a diverse array of animals, such as tubeworms, crustaceans, and octopi that derive energy from the bacteria.

Q: Photoautotrophs including (a) plants, (b) algae, and (c) cyanobacteria synthesize their organic compounds via photosynthesis using sunlight as this? Choices: - light source4 - heating source - fuel source - energy source A:
energy source
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Muscles That Move the Humerus Similar to the muscles that position the pectoral girdle, muscles that cross the shoulder joint and move the humerus bone of the arm include both axial and scapular muscles (Figure 11.23 and Figure 11.24). The two axial muscles are the pectoralis major and the latissimus dorsi. The pectoralis major is thick and fan-shaped, covering much of the superior portion of the anterior thorax. The broad, triangular latissimus dorsi is located on the inferior part of the back, where it inserts into a thick connective tissue shealth called an aponeurosis. Q: Which muscle is broad, triangular and located on the inferior part of the back where it inserts into the aponeurosis? Choices: - bronchus dorsi - dorsolateral dorsi - Synergistic dorsi - latissimus dorsi A:
latissimus dorsi
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Connections of Lipid and Glucose Metabolisms The lipids that are connected to the glucose pathways are cholesterol and triglycerides. Cholesterol is a lipid that contributes to cell membrane flexibility and is a precursor of steroid hormones. The synthesis of cholesterol starts with acetyl groups and proceeds in only one direction. The process cannot be reversed. Triglycerides are a form of long-term energy storage in animals. Triglycerides are made of glycerol and three fatty acids. Animals can make most of the fatty acids they need. Triglycerides can be both made and broken down through parts of the glucose catabolism pathways. Glycerol can be phosphorylated to glycerol-3-phosphate, which continues through glycolysis. Fatty acids are catabolized in a process called beta-oxidation that takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria and converts their fatty acid chains into two carbon units of acetyl groups. The acetyl groups are picked up by CoA to form acetyl CoA that proceeds into the citric acid cycle. Q: The lipids that are connected to the glucose pathways are cholesterol and triglycerides. cholesterol is a lipid that contributes to cell membrane flexibility and is a precursor of this? Choices: - ammonia hormones - Somatostatin - Thrombopoietin - steroid hormones A:
A: steroid hormones
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Scientists are searching for ways to create controlled nuclear fusion reactions in order to produce safe nuclear power. Fusion involves only harmless, plentiful elements but requires extremely high temperatures. Q: What type of diseases in humans are caused by protozoa? Choices: - protozoa diseases - dysentery - diarrhea - protist diseases A:
Answer: protist diseases
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Primate ancestors also mainly ate fruit. They needed to be able to spot colored fruits in the leafy background of the trees ( Figure below ). They also had to be able to judge which fruits were ripe and which were still green. Ripe fruits are usually red, orange, yellow, or purple. Being able to see in color was important for finding food. It was an adaptation that would help fruit-eating primates survive. Q: Ripe fruits are usually red, orange, yellow, or what? Choices: - white - blue - black - purple A:
**Answer**
purple
Answer the following question given this paragraph: In an anticline, rocks arch upward. A three-dimensional anticline is a dome. Q: What is a three-dimensional anticline called? Choices: - cave - volcano - cyclone - dome A:
dome
