Answer the following question given this paragraph: Some samples of matter appear to have properties of solids, liquids, and/or gases at the same time. This can occur when the sample is composed of many small pieces. For example, we can pour sand as if it were a liquid because it is composed of many small grains of solid sand. Matter can also have properties of more than one state when it is a mixture, such as with clouds. Clouds appear to behave somewhat like gases, but they are actually mixtures of air (gas) and tiny particles of water (liquid or solid). The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter in it. One way to measure an object's mass is to measure the force it takes to accelerate the object. It takes much more force to accelerate a car than a bicycle because the car has much more mass. A more common way to determine the mass of an object is to use a balance to compare its mass with a standard mass. Although weight is related to mass, it is not the same thing. Weight refers to the force that gravity exerts on an object. This force is directly proportional to the mass of the object. The weight of an object changes as the force of gravity changes, but its mass does not. An astronaut's mass does not change just because she goes to the moon. But her weight on the moon is only one-sixth her earth-bound weight because the moon's gravity is only one-sixth that of the earth's. She may feel "weightless" during her trip when she experiences negligible external forces (gravitational or any other), although she is, of course, never "massless. " The law of conservation of matter summarizes many scientific observations about matter: It states that there is no detectable change in the total quantity of matter present when matter converts from one type to another (a chemical change) or changes among solid, liquid, or gaseous states (a physical change). Brewing beer and the operation of batteries provide examples of the conservation of matter (Figure 1.8). During the brewing of beer, the ingredients (water, yeast, grains, malt, hops, and sugar) are... Q: Some samples of matter appear to have properties of solids, liquids, and/or gases at the same time. this can occur when the sample is composed of many what? Choices: - turn pieces - large pieces - few pieces - small pieces A:
small pieces
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Permian Period ended with Earth's second mass extinction. During this event, most of Earth's species went extinct. It was the most massive extinction ever recorded. It's not clear why it happened. One possible reason is that a very large meteorite struck Earth. Another possibility is the eruption of enormous volcanoes. Either event could create a huge amount of dust. The dust might block out sunlight for months. This would cool the planet and prevent photosynthesis. Q: What happened to earth's species during the permian period? Choices: - evolution - duplication - division - mass extinction A:
mass extinction
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The challenge of techniques used for proteomic analyses is the difficulty in detecting small quantities of proteins. Although mass spectrometry is good for detecting small amounts of proteins, variations in protein expression in diseased states can be difficult to discern. Proteins are naturally unstable molecules, which makes proteomic analysis much more difficult than genomic analysis. Q: The challenge of techniques used for proteomic analyses is the difficulty in detecting small quantities of what? Choices: - bacteria - acids - particles - proteins A:
A: proteins
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Placental mammals are therian mammals in which a placenta develops during pregnancy. The placenta sustains the fetus while it grows inside the mother's uterus. Placental mammals give birth to relatively large and mature infants. Most mammals are placental mammals. Q: What does the placenta sustain during pregnancy? Choices: - the heart - the mother - the endocrine system - the fetus A:
Answer: the fetus

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Chapter 21 1 The three main components are the lymph vessels, the lymph nodes, and the lymph. 3 The bacterium is digested by the phagocyte's digestive enzymes (contained in its lysosomes). 5 B 7 C 9 A 11 D 13 C 15 B 17 B 19 D 21 D 23 B 25 C 27 B 29 C 31 D 33 A 35 B 37 B 39 The lymph enters through lymphatic capillaries, and then into larger lymphatic vessels. The lymph can only go in one direction due to valves in the vessels. The larger lymphatics merge to form trunks that enter into the blood via lymphatic ducts. 41 Interferons are produced in virally infected cells and cause them to secrete signals for surrounding cells to make antiviral proteins. C-reactive protein is induced to be made by the liver and will opsonize certain species of bacteria. 43 Antigen-specific clones are stimulated as their antigen receptor binds to antigen. They are then activated and proliferate, expanding their numbers. The result is a large number of antigen-specific lymphocytes. 45 IgM is an antigen receptor on naive B cells. Upon activation, naive B cells make IgM first. IgM is good at binding complement and thus has good antibacterial effects. IgM is replaced with other classes of antibodies later on in the primary response due to class switching. 47 Tuberculosis is caused by bacteria resistant to lysosomal enzymes in alveolar macrophages, resulting in chronic infection. The immune response to these bacteria actually causes most of the lung damage that is characteristic of this life-threatening disease. 49 Antibody response to the cell walls of -Streptococcus cross-reacts with the heart muscle. Complement is then activated and the heart is damaged, leading to abnormal function. Tolerance is broken because heart myosin antigens are similar to antigens on the - Streptococcus bacteria. Q: Interferons are produced in virally infected cells and cause them to secrete signals for surrounding cells to make what? Choices: - overwhelm proteins - resist proteins - Raising Proteins - antiviral proteins A:
**Answer**
antiviral proteins
