Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cellulose is another complex carbohydrate found in plants that is a polymer of glucose. Cellulose molecules bundle together to form long, tough fibers. Cellulose is the most abundant biochemical compound. It makes up the cell walls of plants and gives support to stems and tree trunks. Q: What is the most abundant biochemical compound? Choices: - soil - methane - tissue - cellulose A:
cellulose
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Scientists are searching for ways to create controlled nuclear fusion reactions on Earth. Their goal is develop nuclear fusion power plants, where the energy from fusion of hydrogen nuclei can be converted to electricity. You can see how this might work in the Figure below . In the thermonuclear reactor, radiation from fusion is used to heat water and produce steam. The steam can then be used to turn a turbine and generate electricity. Q: What drives the turbine in a thermonuclear reactor? Choices: - magnets - heated oil - wind energy - heated water or steam A:
heated water or steam
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Hydrogen is a very reactive gas, and the alkali metals are even more reactive. In fact, they are the most reactive metals and, along with the elements in group 17, are the most reactive of all elements. The reactivity of alkali metals increases from the top to the bottom of the group, so lithium (Li) is the least reactive alkali metal and francium (Fr) is the most reactive. Because alkali metals are so reactive, they are found in nature only in combination with other elements. They often combine with group 17 elements, which are very "eager" to gain an electron. At the URL below, you can watch a video that shows just how reactive the alkali metals are. Q: Because alkali metals are so reactive, they are found in nature only in ________ with other elements? Choices: - isolation - cooperation - competition - combination A:
A: combination
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Plants may have colonized the land as early as 700 million years ago. The oldest fossils of land plants date back about 470 million years. The first land plants probably resembled modern plants called liverworts , like the one shown in Figure below . Q: The oldest fossil of land plants date back how many millions of years? Choices: - 520 million years - 350 million years - 430 million years - 470 million years A:
Answer: 470 million years

Answer the following question given this paragraph: One common example of an extra-chromosome disorder is Down syndrome ( Figure below ). Children with Down syndrome are mentally disabled and also have physical deformities. Down syndrome occurs when a baby receives an extra chromosome 21 from one of his or her parents. Usually, a child will receive one chromosome 21 from the mother and one chromosome 21 from the father. In an individual with Down syndrome, however, there are three copies of chromosome 21 ( Figure below ). Therefore, Down syndrome is also known as Trisomy 21. These people have 47 total chromosomes. Q: What's the most common disorder from having an extra chromosome? Choices: - Williams syndrome - Turner syndrome - cri-du-chat syndrome - down syndrome A:
**Answer**
down syndrome
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: All crocodilians have, like humans, teeth set in bony sockets. But unlike mammals, they replace their teeth throughout life. Crocodiles and gharials (large crocodilians with longer jaws) have salivary glands on their tongue, which are used to remove salt from their bodies. This helps with life in a saltwater environment. Crocodilians are often seen lying with their mouths open, a behavior called gaping . One of its functions is probably to cool them down. Q: Lying with their mouths open, a behavior called gaping, probably serves what function for crocodiles? Choices: - sleeping - digesting - eating - cooling down A:
A: cooling down
