Answer the following question given this paragraph: Magnetic Field Produced by a Current-Carrying Solenoid A solenoid is a long coil of wire (with many turns or loops, as opposed to a flat loop). Because of its shape, the field inside a solenoid can be very uniform, and also very strong. The field just outside the coils is nearly zero. Figure 22.40 shows how the field looks and how its direction is given by RHR-2. Q: What current-carrying long coil of wire acts as a magnet? Choices: - converter - antenna - igniter - solenoid A:
solenoid
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Most pure nitrogen comes from the fractional distillation of liquid air. The atmosphere consists of 78% nitrogen by volume. This means there are more than 20 million tons of nitrogen over every square mile of the earth's surface. Nitrogen is a component of proteins and of the genetic material (DNA/RNA) of all plants and animals. Under ordinary conditions, nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. It boils at 77 K and freezes at 63 K. Liquid nitrogen is a useful coolant because it is inexpensive and has a low boiling point. Nitrogen is very unreactive because of the very strong triple bond between the nitrogen atoms. The only common reactions at room temperature occur with lithium to form Li3N, with certain transition metal complexes, and with hydrogen or oxygen in nitrogenfixing bacteria. The general lack of reactivity of nitrogen makes the remarkable ability of some bacteria to synthesize nitrogen compounds using atmospheric nitrogen gas as the source one of the most exciting chemical events on our planet. This process is one type of nitrogen fixation. In this case, nitrogen fixation is the process where organisms convert atmospheric nitrogen into biologically useful chemicals. Nitrogen fixation also occurs when lightning passes through air, causing molecular nitrogen to react with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides, which are then carried down to the soil. Q: What term describes the process where organisms convert atmospheric nitrogen into biologically useful chemicals? Choices: - carbon cycle - cellular respiration - photosynthesis - nitrogen fixation A:
nitrogen fixation
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Plants also detect and respond to the daily cycle of light and darkness. For example, some plants open their leaves during the day to collect sunlight and then close their leaves at night to prevent water loss. Environmental stimuli that indicate changing seasons trigger other responses. Many plants respond to the days growing shorter in the fall by going dormant . They suspend growth and development in order to survive the extreme cold and dryness of winter. Dormancy ensures that seeds will germinate and plants will grow only when conditions are favorable. Q: What do plants do to prevent water loss at night? Choices: - close their stems - shed their petals - open their petals - close their leaves A:
A: close their leaves
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Overview of Transcription. Transcription uses the sequence of bases in a strand of DNA to make a complementary strand of mRNA. Triplets are groups of three successive nucleotide bases in DNA. Codons are complementary groups of bases in mRNA. Q: What is the term for groups of three successive nucleotide bases in dna? Choices: - triads - tertiary bases - triple play - triplets A:
Answer: triplets

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cytokinins Promote cell division; prevent senescence. Q: Cytokinins promote cell division and prevent what? Choices: - deficiency - apoptosis - mutations - senescence A:
**Answer**
senescence
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Abrasion is another type of mechanical weathering. With abrasion, one rock bumps against another rock. Gravity causes abrasion as a rock tumbles down a slope. Moving water causes abrasion it moves rocks so that they bump against one another ( Figure below ). Strong winds cause abrasion by blasting sand against rock surfaces. Finally, the ice in glaciers cause abrasion. Pieces of rock embedded in ice at the bottom of a glacier scrape against the rock below. If you have ever collected beach glass or pebbles from a stream, you have witnessed the work of abrasion. Q: What kind of weathering is abrasion? Choices: - molecular - electromagnetic - natural - mechanical A:
A: mechanical
