Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Endotherms and Ectotherms Animals can be divided into two groups: some maintain a constant body temperature in the face of differing environmental temperatures, while others have a body temperature that is the same as their environment and thus varies with the environment. Animals that do not control their body temperature are ectotherms. This group has been called cold-blooded, but the term may not apply to an animal in the desert with a very warm body temperature. In contrast to ectotherms, which rely on external temperatures to set their body temperatures, poikilotherms are animals with constantly varying internal temperatures. An animal that maintains a constant body temperature in the face of environmental changes is called a homeotherm. Endotherms are animals that rely on internal sources for body temperature but which can exhibit extremes in temperature. These animals are able to maintain a level of activity at cooler temperature, which an ectotherm cannot due to differing enzyme levels of activity. Q: Animals that are endotherms or ectotherms are distinguished by the ability to maintain a constant what? Choices: - step temperature - bearing temperature - Moving Tempature - body temperature A:
A: body temperature
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Compared to Earth, the solar system is a big place. But galaxies are bigger - a lot bigger. A galaxy is a very large group of stars held together by gravity. How enormous a galaxy is and how many stars it contains are impossible for us to really understand. A galaxy contains up to a few billion stars! Our solar system is in the Milky Way Galaxy. It is so large that if our solar system were the size of your fist, the galaxy's disk would be wider than the entire United States! There are several different types of galaxies, and there are billions of galaxies in the universe. Q: What galaxy is our solar system a part of? Choices: - Centaurus - Andromeda - Bode's Galaxy - milky way A:
Answer: milky way

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Neurons are usually classified based on the role they play in the body. Two main types of neurons are sensory neurons and motor neurons. Q: What do you call the zone in a body of water where there is too little sunlight for photosynthesis? Choices: - semimetal zone - Dark Zone - observable zone - aphotic zone A:
**Answer**
aphotic zone

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Regulation of Water Intake Osmolality is the ratio of solutes in a solution to a volume of solvent in a solution. Plasma osmolality is thus the ratio of solutes to water in blood plasma. A person's plasma osmolality value reflects his or her state of hydration. A healthy body maintains plasma osmolality within a narrow range, by employing several mechanisms that regulate both water intake and output. Drinking water is considered voluntary. So how is water intake regulated by the body? Consider someone who is experiencing dehydration, a net loss of water that results in insufficient water in blood and other tissues. The water that leaves the body, as exhaled air, sweat, or urine, is ultimately extracted from blood plasma. As the blood becomes more concentrated, the thirst responsea sequence of physiological processesis triggered (Figure 26.10). Osmoreceptors are sensory receptors in the thirst center in the hypothalamus that monitor the concentration of solutes (osmolality) of the blood. If blood osmolality increases above its ideal value, the hypothalamus transmits signals that result in a conscious awareness of thirst. The person should (and normally does) respond by drinking water. The hypothalamus of a dehydrated person also releases antidiuretic hormone (ADH) through the posterior pituitary gland. ADH signals the kidneys to recover water from urine, effectively diluting the blood plasma. To conserve water, the hypothalamus of a dehydrated person also sends signals via the sympathetic nervous system to the salivary glands in the mouth. The signals result in a decrease in watery, serous output (and an increase in stickier, thicker mucus output). These changes in secretions result in a "dry mouth" and the sensation of thirst. Q: What is the ratio of solutes in a solution to a volume of solvent in a solution known as? Choices: - equilibrium - molarity - molality - osmolality A:
(Answer)
osmolality
