Answer the following question given this paragraph: Temperature increases with altitude in the thermosphere. Surprisingly, it may be higher than 1000 C (1800 F) near the top of this layer! The Sun's energy there is very strong. The molecules absorb the Sun's energy and are heated up. But there are so few gas molecules that the air still feels very cold. Molecules in the thermosphere gain or lose electrons. They then become charged particles called ions. Q: As altitude rises, what happens to the temperature in the thermosphere? Choices: - oxygen increases - oxygen decreases - temperature decreases - temperature increases A:
temperature increases
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The anterior pituitary produces six hormones: growth hormone, prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone. Growth hormone stimulates cellular activities like protein synthesis that promote growth. Prolactin stimulates the production of milk by the mammary glands.
