Answer the following question given this paragraph: An element is a pure substance. It cannot be broken down into other types of substances. Each element is made up of just one type of atom. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that still has the properties of that element. Q: What is the term for the smallest particle of an element that still has the properties of that element? Choices: - nucleus - electron - neutron - atom A:
atom

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Aneuploidy An individual with the appropriate number of chromosomes for their species is called euploid; in humans, euploidy corresponds to 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. An individual with an error in chromosome number is described as aneuploid, a term that includes monosomy (loss of one chromosome) or trisomy (gain of an extraneous chromosome). Monosomic human zygotes missing any one copy of an autosome invariably fail to develop to birth because they lack essential genes. This underscores the importance of "gene dosage" in humans. Most autosomal trisomies also fail to develop to birth; however, duplications of some of the smaller chromosomes (13, 15, 18, 21, or 22) can result in offspring that survive for several weeks to many years. Trisomic individuals suffer from a different type of genetic imbalance: an excess in gene dose. Individuals with an extra chromosome may synthesize an abundance of the gene products encoded by that chromosome. This extra dose (150 percent) of specific genes can lead to a number of functional challenges and often precludes development. The most common trisomy among viable births is that of chromosome 21, which corresponds to Down Syndrome. Individuals with this inherited disorder are characterized by short stature and stunted digits, facial distinctions that include a broad skull and large tongue, and significant developmental delays. The incidence of Down syndrome is correlated with maternal age; older women are more likely to become pregnant with fetuses carrying the trisomy 21 genotype (Figure 13.7). Q: An individual with the appropriate number of what for their species is called euploid; abnormalities in this number include trisomy and monosomy? Choices: - ribosomes - neutrons - genes - chromosomes A:
(Answer)
chromosomes
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: No doubt you've had a sore throat before, and you've probably eaten cheese or yogurt. If so, then you've already encountered the amazing world of prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus. They also lack other membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes are tiny. They can only be viewed with a microscope (see Figure below ). But they are the most numerous organisms on Earth. Without them, the world would be a very different place. Q: What is a feature that prokaryotes lack? Choices: - epidermis - cell wall - plasma - nucleus A:
Ans: nucleus

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Complex Tissue Structure As multicellular organisms, animals differ from plants and fungi because their cells don't have cell walls, their cells may be embedded in an extracellular matrix (such as bone, skin, or connective tissue), and their cells have unique structures for intercellular communication (such as gap junctions). In addition, animals possess unique tissues, absent in fungi and plants, which allow coordination (nerve tissue) of motility (muscle tissue). Animals are also characterized by specialized connective tissues that provide structural support for cells and organs. This connective tissue constitutes the extracellular surroundings of cells and is made up of organic and inorganic materials. In vertebrates, bone tissue is a type of connective tissue that supports the entire body structure. The complex bodies and activities of vertebrates demand such supportive tissues. Epithelial tissues cover, line, protect, and secrete. Epithelial tissues include the epidermis of the integument, the lining of the digestive tract and trachea, and make up the ducts of the liver and glands of advanced animals. The animal kingdom is divided into Parazoa (sponges) and Eumetazoa (all other animals). As very simple animals, the organisms in group Parazoa ("beside animal") do not contain true specialized tissues; although they do possess specialized cells that perform different functions, those cells are not organized into tissues. These organisms are considered animals since they lack the ability to make their own food. Animals with true tissues are in the group Eumetazoa ("true animals"). When we think of animals, we usually think of Eumetazoans, since most animals fall into this category. The different types of tissues in true animals are responsible for carrying out specific functions for the organism. This differentiation and specialization of tissues is part of what allows for such incredible animal diversity. For example, the evolution of nerve tissues and muscle tissues has resulted in animals' unique ability... Q: In vertebrates, what tissue is a type of connective tissue that supports the entire body structure? Choices: - cartilage - blood - collagen - bone A:
(A).
bone
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Machines make work easier by increasing the amount of force that is applied, increasing the distance over which the force is applied, or changing the direction in which the force is applied. Contrary to popular belief, machines do not increase the amount of work that is done. They just change how the work is done. So if a machine increases the force applied, it must apply the force over a shorter distance. Similarly, if a machine increases the distance over which the force is applied, it must apply less force. Q: If the amount of force of that is applied is increased, what happens to the work that a machine is producing? Choices: - it's unchanged - it is harder - it's variable - it is easier A:

Ans:it is easier
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Mirrors and lenses are used in optical instruments to reflect and refract light. Optical instruments include microscopes, telescopes, cameras, and lasers. Q: Mirrors and lenses are used in optical instruments to reflect and refract what? Choices: - gravity - mass - electricity - light A:
light
