Answer the following question given this paragraph: Excretion is the process of removing wastes and excess water from the body. It is one of the major ways the body maintains homeostasis. Although the kidneys are the main organs of excretion, several other organs also excrete wastes. They include the large intestine, liver, skin, and lungs. All of these organs of excretion, along with the kidneys, make up the excretory system . The roles of the excretory organs other than the kidney are summarized below:. Q: What is the process of removing wastes and excess water from the body called? Choices: - inspiration - ingestion - diffusion - excretion A:
excretion

(Answer)
decreases
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Bird beaks are generally adapted for the food they eat. For example, the sharp, hooked beak of a raptor is well suited for killing and tearing apart prey. The long beak of the hummingbird in Figure below co-evolved with the tube-shaped flowers from which it sips nectar. Q: What part of a bird is adapted for the food it eats? Choices: - teeth - head - eye - beak A:
Ans: beak
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: In addition to producing FSH and LH, the anterior portion of the pituitary gland also produces the hormone prolactin (PRL) in females. Prolactin stimulates the production of milk by the mammary glands following childbirth. Prolactin levels are regulated by the hypothalamic hormones prolactin-releasing hormone (PRH) and prolactin-inhibiting hormone (PIH), which is now known to be dopamine. PRH stimulates the release of prolactin and PIH inhibits it. The posterior pituitary releases the hormone oxytocin, which stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth. The uterine smooth muscles are not very sensitive to oxytocin until late in pregnancy when the number of oxytocin receptors in the uterus peaks. Stretching of tissues in the uterus and cervix stimulates oxytocin release during childbirth. Contractions increase in intensity as blood levels of oxytocin rise via a positive feedback mechanism until the birth is complete. Oxytocin also stimulates the contraction of myoepithelial cells around the milk-producing mammary glands. As these cells contract, milk is forced from the secretory alveoli into milk ducts and is ejected from the breasts in milk ejection ("let-down") reflex. Oxytocin release is stimulated by the suckling of an infant, which triggers the synthesis of oxytocin in the hypothalamus and its release into circulation at the posterior pituitary. Q: The posterior pituitary releases which hormone, which stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth? Choices: - estrogen - insulin - estradiol - oxytocin A:
(A).
oxytocin

Ans:herpes virus
Answer the following question given this paragraph: As you can see in this NASA photo, Earth is tiny compared with the massive sun. The sun's gravity is relatively strong because the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to their masses. Gravity between the sun and Earth pulls Earth toward the sun, but Earth never falls into the sun. Instead, it constantly revolves around the sun, making one complete revolution every 365 days. Q: The sun's gravity is relatively strong because the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to their what? Choices: - tissues - Liquids - rocks - masses A:
masses
