Answer the following question given this paragraph: The mildest and most common type of brain injury is a concussion . This is a bruise on the surface of the brain. It may cause temporary problems such as headache, drowsiness, and confusion. Most concussions in young people occur when they are playing sports, especially contact sports like football. Other sports, like soccer, boxing, baseball, lacrosse, skateboarding, and hockey can also result in concussions. A concussion normally heals on its own in a few days. Q: What is the mildest type of brain injury? Choices: - blunt trauma - hydrocephalus - dementia - concussion A:
concussion

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The cut on your hand may become red, warm, and swollen. These are signs of an inflammatory response. This is the first reaction of the body to tissue damage or infection. As explained in Figure below , the response is triggered by chemicals called cytokines and histamines , which are released when tissue is injured or infected. The chemicals communicate with other cells and coordinate the inflammatory response. You can see an animation of the inflammatory response at this link: http://www. sumanasinc. com/webcontent/animations/content/inflammatory. html . Q: The first reaction of the body to tissue damage or infection is called the what response? Choices: - defensive - harmful - retaliatory - inflammatory A:
(Answer)
inflammatory
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Streptophytes Until recently, all photosynthetic eukaryotes were considered members of the kingdom Plantae. The brown, red, and gold algae, however, have been reassigned to the Protista kingdom. This is because apart from their ability to capture light energy and fix CO2, they lack many structural and biochemical traits that distinguish plants from protists. The position of green algae is more ambiguous. Green algae contain the same carotenoids and chlorophyll a and b as land plants, whereas other algae have different accessory pigments and types of chlorophyll molecules in addition to chlorophyll a. Both green algae and land plants also store carbohydrates as starch. Cells in green algae divide along cell plates called phragmoplasts, and their cell walls are layered in the same manner as the cell walls of embryophytes. Consequently, land plants and closely related green algae are now part of a new monophyletic group called Streptophyta. The remaining green algae, which belong to a group called Chlorophyta, include more than 7000 different species that live in fresh or brackish water, in seawater, or in snow patches. A few green algae even survive on soil, provided it is covered by a thin film of moisture in which they can live. Periodic dry spells provide a selective advantage to algae that can survive water stress. Some green algae may already be familiar, in particular Spirogyra and desmids. Their cells contain chloroplasts that display a dizzying variety of shapes, and their cell walls contain cellulose, as do land plants. Some green algae are single cells, such as Chlorella and Chlamydomonas, which adds to the ambiguity of green algae classification, because plants are multicellular. Other algae, like Ulva (commonly called sea lettuce), form colonies (Figure 25.7). Q: Cells in green algae divide along cell plates called what? Choices: - chloroplasts - cellulose - xanthophylls - phragmoplasts A:
Ans: phragmoplasts

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The atoms of a compound are held together by chemical bonds. Chemical bonds form when atoms share electrons. There are different types of chemical bonds, and they vary in how strongly they hold together the atoms of a compound. Two of the strongest types of bonds are covalent and ionic bonds. Covalent bonds form between atoms that have little if any difference in electronegativity, and result when atoms share electrons. Electronegativity is the power of an atom to attract electrons toward itself. Ionic bonds , in contrast, form between atoms that are significantly different in electronegativity. An ion is an atom that has gained or lost at least one electron. Ionic bonds form between ions of opposite charges. Q: The atoms of a compound are held together by what type of bonds? Choices: - covalent - mineral - radiation - chemical A:
(A).
chemical
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: When geologic and climatic conditions are changing, evolution may occur more quickly. Thus, long periods of little change may be interrupted by bursts of rapid change. This model of the timing of evolution is called punctuated equilibrium . It is better supported by the fossil record than is gradualism. This model suggests that niches left open by sudden geologic and climatic changes may be rapidly filled by bursts of evolution. Q: Sudden changes in geologic and climatic conditions can spur what process? Choices: - generation - cloning - symbiosis - evolution A:

Ans:evolution
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Fluid Mosaic Model In 1972, S. Singer and Garth L. Nicolson proposed a new model of the plasma membrane that, compared to earlier understanding, better explained both microscopic observations and the function of the plasma membrane. This was called the fluid mosaic model. The model has evolved somewhat over time, but still best accounts for the structure and functions of the plasma membrane as we now understand them. The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of componentsincluding phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydratesin which the components are able to flow and change position, while maintaining the basic integrity of the membrane. Both phospholipid molecules and embedded proteins are able to diffuse rapidly and laterally in the membrane. The fluidity of the plasma membrane is necessary for the activities of certain enzymes and transport molecules within the membrane. Plasma membranes range from 510 nm thick. As a comparison, human red blood cells, visible via light microscopy, are approximately 8 m thick, or approximately 1,000 times thicker than a plasma membrane. (Figure 3.18). Q: What model describes the structure of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of components? Choices: - solid mosaic model - sensors mosaic model - coolant mosaic model - fluid mosaic model A:
Answer:
fluid mosaic model
