Answer the following question given this paragraph: Mineralocorticoids Mineralocorticoids are hormones synthesized by the adrenal cortex that affect osmotic balance. Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid that regulates sodium levels in the blood. Almost all of the sodium in the blood is reclaimed by the renal tubules under the influence of aldosterone. Because sodium is always reabsorbed by active transport and water follows sodium to maintain osmotic balance, aldosterone manages not only sodium levels but also the water levels in body fluids. In contrast, the aldosterone also stimulates potassium secretion concurrently with sodium reabsorption. In contrast, absence of aldosterone means that no sodium gets reabsorbed in the renal tubules and all of it gets excreted in the urine. In addition, the daily dietary potassium load is not secreted and the retention of K+ can cause a dangerous increase in plasma K+ concentration. Patients who have Addison's disease have a failing adrenal cortex and cannot produce aldosterone. They lose sodium in their urine constantly, and if the supply is not replenished, the consequences can be fatal. Q: Mineralocorticoids are hormones synthesized by the adrenal cortex that affect what balance, by regulating sodium and water levels? A:
****
A: osmotic

Answer the following question given this paragraph: DNA is located in the nucleus. Proteins are made on ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Remember that information in a gene is converted into mRNA , which carries the information to the ribosome. In the nucleus, mRNA is created by using the DNA in a gene as a template. A template is a model provided for others to copy. Q: What are made on ribosomes in the cytoplasm? A:
OPTIONS:
- lipids
- cells
- enzymes
- proteins
proteins

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Heavily vegetated lands are less likely to experience flooding. Plants slow down water as it runs over the land, giving it time to enter the ground. If the ground is too wet to absorb more water, plants still slow the water's passage. Slower water keeps all the water from entering the stream at once. Wetlands play a key role in minimizing the impacts of floods. Wetlands act as a buffer between land and high water levels. Flooding is often more severe in areas that have been recently logged. Q: Heavily vegetated lands are less likely to experience what? A:
OPTIONS:
- expansion
- drought
- rains
- flooding

Answer: flooding

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Gases mix homogeneously when confined to same container. When several gases are added to a container, the individual gas particles mix freely, forming a homogeneous mixture in which each type of gas is randomly distributed throughout all the available volume. Q: What is formed when different gases are confined to the same container? A:
OPTIONS:
- linear mixture
- particulate mixture
- compact mixture
- homogeneous mixture
Answer: homogeneous mixture

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: There are also bacteria that use chemical processes to produce food. They get their energy from sources other than the sun, but they are still called producers. This process is known as chemosynthesis , and is common in ecosystems without sunlight, such as certain marine ecosystems. Q: What is the process in which producers get their energy from sources other than the sun? A:
OPTIONS:
- electrolysis
- phototropism
- biosynthesis
- chemosynthesis
output: chemosynthesis

Problem: OPTIONS:
- booms
- stones
- shoots
- projectiles
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Objects that are launched into the air are called projectiles . The path followed by a projectile in motion is called a trajectory . The image of the snowboarder in the chapter introduction showed his trajectory; every object has a trajectory even when we cannot see it. Projectile motion , or the object's trajectory, is described in terms of position, velocity, and acceleration. Even with only an object's current location, velocity, and acceleration, we can calculate when and where the object will land. Our knowledge that perpendicular components of vectors do not affect each other allow us to easily analyze the motion of projectiles. Q: What are objects that are launched into the air called? A:
Answer:
projectiles
