Answer the following question given this paragraph: When you are cold, what does your body do to keep warm? You shiver to warm up your body. When you are too warm, you sweat to release heat. When any living organism gets thrown off balance, its body or cells help it return to normal. In other words, living organisms have the ability to keep a stable internal environment. Maintaining a balance inside the body or cells of organisms is known as homeostasis . Like us, many animals have evolved behaviors that control their internal temperature. A lizard may stretch out on a sunny rock to increase its internal temperature, and a bird may fluff its feathers to stay warm ( Figure below ). Q: Maintaining a balance inside the body or cells of organisms is known as? Choices: - ketosis - equanimity - consciousness - homeostasis A:
homeostasis
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Interspecific competition happens when individuals of different species strive for a limited resource in the same area. Since any two species have different traits, one species will be able to out-compete the other. One species will be better adapted to its environment, and essentially "win" the competition. The other species will have lower reproductive success and lower population growth, resulting in a lower survival rate. For example, cheetahs and lions feed on similar prey. If prey is limited, then lions may catch more prey than cheetahs. This will force the cheetahs to either leave the area or suffer a decrease in population. Q: What occurs when individuals of different species strive for a limited resource in the same area? Choices: - vegetal competition - asexual competition - intraspecific competition - interspecific competition A:
interspecific competition
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Like the stem, the leaf contains vascular bundles composed of xylem and phloem (Figure 30.27). The xylem consists of tracheids and vessels, which transport water and minerals to the leaves. The phloem transports the photosynthetic products from the leaf to the other parts of the plant. A single vascular bundle, no matter how large or small, always contains both xylem and phloem tissues. Q: Like the stem, what basic plant structure contains vascular bundles composed of xylem and phloem? Choices: - root - flower - bark - leaf A:
A: leaf
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In the Mesozoic, dinosaurs filled the niches that mammals fill today. Q: Dinosaurs filled the niches that mammals fill today during which era? Choices: - Cenozoic - Phanerozoic - Proterozoic - mesozoic A:
Answer: mesozoic

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Pathologist A pathologist is a medical doctor or veterinarian who has specialized in the laboratory detection of disease in animals, including humans. These professionals complete medical school education and follow it with an extensive post-graduate residency at a medical center. A pathologist may oversee clinical laboratories for the evaluation of body tissue and blood samples for the detection of disease or infection. They examine tissue specimens through a microscope to identify cancers and other diseases. Some pathologists perform autopsies to determine the cause of death and the progression of disease. Q: What type of doctor specializes in the laboratory detection of disease? Choices: - internist - diagnostician - infectious disease physician - pathologist A:
**Answer**
pathologist

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Only five living species of mammals are not therian mammals. They are called monotremes. Monotremes are mammals that reproduce by laying eggs. The only living monotreme species are the platypus and echidnas (see Figure below and Figure below ). They are found solely in Australia and New Guinea (an island not far from Australia). Q: What are mammals called that reproduce by laying eggs? Choices: - marsupials - Fish - amphibians - monotremes A:
**Answer**
monotremes
