Problem: OPTIONS:
- estrogen
- dioxins
- testosterone
- androgens
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Hormones of the Zona Reticularis The deepest region of the adrenal cortex is the zona reticularis, which produces small amounts of a class of steroid sex hormones called androgens. During puberty and most of adulthood, androgens are produced in the gonads. The androgens produced in the zona reticularis supplement the gonadal androgens. They are produced in response to ACTH from the anterior pituitary and are converted in the tissues to testosterone or estrogens. In adult women, they may contribute to the sex drive, but their function in adult men is not well understood. In post-menopausal women, as the functions of the ovaries decline, the main source of estrogens becomes the androgens produced by the zona reticularis. Q: The deepest region of the adrenal cortex is the zona reticularis, which produces small amounts of a class of steroid sex hormones called what? A:
Answer: androgens

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Attached to the placenta is the amniotic sac , an enclosed membrane that surrounds and protects the fetus. It contains amniotic fluid , which consists of water and dissolved substances. The fluid allows the fetus to move freely until it grows to fill most of the available space. The fluid also cushions the fetus and helps protect it from injury. Q: What is the enclosed, fluid-filled membrane that surrounds and protects the fetus and is attached to the placenta? A:
OPTIONS:
- epithelial sac
- umbilical sac
- womb
- amniotic sac
amniotic sac

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Rising air currents carry water vapor into the atmosphere. As the water vapor rises in the atmosphere, it cools and condenses. Condensation is the process in which water vapor changes to tiny droplets of liquid water. The water droplets may form clouds. If the droplets get big enough, they fall as precipitation rain, snow, sleet, hail, or freezing rain. Most precipitation falls into the ocean. Eventually, this water evaporates again and repeats the water cycle. Some frozen precipitation becomes part of ice caps and glaciers. These masses of ice can store frozen water for hundreds of years or longer. Q: Rising air currents carry water vapor into what? A:
OPTIONS:
- stratosphere
- ionosphere
- troposphere
- atmosphere

Answer: atmosphere
