Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Ordovician-Silurian extinction event is the first recorded mass extinction and the second largest. During this period, about 85 percent of marine species (few species lived outside the oceans) became extinct. The main hypothesis for its cause is a period of glaciation and then warming. The extinction event actually consists of two extinction events separated by about 1 million years. The first event was caused by cooling, and the second event was due to the subsequent warming. The climate changes affected temperatures and sea levels. Some researchers have suggested that a gamma-ray burst, caused by a nearby supernova, is a possible cause of the Ordovician-Silurian extinction. The gamma-ray burst would have stripped away. Q: The ordovician-silurian extinction event is the first recorded mass extinction and the second largest. during this period, about what percent of marine species went extinct? Choices: - 10 percent - 99 percent - 40 percent - 85 percent A:
Ans: 85 percent

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. All objects have inertia, whether they are stationary or moving. Inertia explains Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. That's why Newton's first law of motion is sometimes called the law of inertia. You can see an animation of inertia at this URL:. Q: The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion is called what? Choices: - isolation - kenetic force - stabilization - inertia A:
Ans: inertia

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Animals may eat and drink at certain times of day as well. Humans have daily cycles of behavior, too. Most people start to get sleepy after dark and have a hard time sleeping when it is light outside. Daily cycles of behavior are called circadian rhythms . Q: What is the term for daily cycles of behavior, like the sleep-wake cycle? Choices: - daily rhythms - variable rhythms - behavioral rhythms - circadian rhythms A:
Ans: circadian rhythms

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Types of organisms that make glucose by photosynthesis are pictured in Figure below . They include plants, plant-like protists such as algae, and some kinds of bacteria. Living things that make glucose are called autotrophs ("self feeders"). All other living things obtain glucose by eating autotrophs (or organisms that eat autotrophs). These living things are called heterotrophs ("other feeders"). Q: What are living things that obtain glucose by eating self feeders called? Choices: - producers - chimeras - viruses - heterotrophs A:
Ans:
heterotrophs
