Answer the following question given this paragraph: The galaxies at the edge of the Universe are a great distance away. But they are something else that is distant. Because it takes so long for light from so far away to reach us, they are also very far back in time ( Figure below ). Q: Due to the time it takes for light to reach us, galaxies at the edge of the universe are distant in terms of space and what else? Choices: - gravity - temperature - energy - time A:
time

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Earth is a round, three-dimensional ball. In a small area, Earth looks flat, so it is not hard to make accurate maps of a small place. When mapmakers want to map the round Earth on flat paper, they use projections. What happens if you try to flatten out the skin of a peeled orange? Or if you try to gift wrap a soccer ball? To flatten out, the orange peel must rip, and its shape must become distorted. To wrap a round object with flat paper requires lots of extra cuts and folds. A projection is a way to represent Earth's curved surface on flat paper ( Figure below ). Q: What method is used to map the earth on flat paper? Choices: - calculations - forecasts - surveying - projections A:
projections

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Minerals Minerals in food are inorganic compounds that work with other nutrients to ensure the body functions properly. Minerals cannot be made in the body; they come from the diet. The amount of minerals in the body is smallonly 4 percent of the total body massand most of that consists of the minerals that the body requires in moderate quantities: potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and chloride. The most common minerals in the body are calcium and phosphorous, both of which are stored in the skeleton and necessary for the hardening of bones. Most minerals are ionized, and their ionic forms are used in physiological processes throughout the body. Sodium and chloride ions are electrolytes in the blood and extracellular tissues, and iron ions are critical to the formation of hemoglobin. There are additional trace minerals that are still important to the body's functions, but their required quantities are much lower. Like vitamins, minerals can be consumed in toxic quantities (although it is rare). A healthy diet includes most of the minerals your body requires, so supplements and processed foods can add potentially toxic levels of minerals. Table 24.5 and Table 24.6 provide a summary of minerals and their function in the body. Q: What is critical for the formation of hemoglobin? Choices: - salts - proteins - platelets - iron ions A:
iron ions

Answer the following question given this paragraph: In the gasoline industry, what is called isooctane is actually 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. Draw the structure of isooctane. Q: What do they call 2,2,4-trimethylpentane in the gasoline industry? Choices: - spirogyra - methane - xerophyte - isooctane A:
isooctane
