Answer the following question given this paragraph: Muscles move the body by contracting against the skeleton. Q: What move the body by contracting against the skeleton? Choices: - hormones - tissues - nerves - muscles A:
muscles
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Taste receptors are found in tiny bumps on the tongue called taste buds (see Figure below ). There are separate taste receptors for sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and meaty tastes. The meaty taste is called umami . You can learn more about taste receptors and the sense of taste by watching the animation at the following link: http://www. bbc. co. uk/science/humanbody/body/factfiles/taste/taste_ani_f5. swf . Q: What are the taste receptors found as tiny bumps on the tongue called? Choices: - ear buds - fat buds - hard buds - taste buds A:
taste buds
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Power Consumed at Rest The rate at which the body uses food energy to sustain life and to do different activities is called the metabolic rate. The total energy conversion rate of a person at rest is called the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and is divided among various systems in the body, as shown in Table 7.4. The largest fraction goes to the liver and spleen, with the brain coming next. Of course, during vigorous exercise, the energy consumption of the skeletal muscles and heart increase markedly. About 75% of the calories burned in a day go into these basic functions. The BMR is a function of age, gender, total body weight, and amount of muscle mass (which burns more calories than body fat). Athletes have a greater BMR due to this last factor. Q: The rate at which the body uses food energy to sustain life and to do different activities is called the what? Choices: - hormonal rate - calorie rate - life cycle - metabolic rate A:
A: metabolic rate
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 22.3 Viral Genome The genome of a virus consists of DNA or RNA, whose size and configuration vary. The entire genome can exist as a single nucleic acid molecule or several nucleic acid segments. Also, the DNA or RNA may be single-stranded or double-stranded, and either linear or circular. Not all viruses can reproduce in a host cell by themselves. Since viruses are so small, the size of their genome is limiting. For example, some viruses have coded instructions for only making a few different proteins for the viruses' capsid. On the other hand, the human genome codes for over 30,000 different proteins. Therefore, the lack of coded instructions cause some viruses to need the presence of other viruses to help them reproduce themselves. Such viruses are called replication defective. Lastly, it is worthy to note that 70% of all viruses are RNA viruses. As the process of RNA replication (with enzymes and other organelles of the host cell) is more prone to errors, RNA viruses have much higher mutation rates than do DNA viruses. Q: Viruses need what kind of cell in order to help themselves reproduce? Choices: - round - side - double - host A:
Answer: host

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Light with wavelengths shorter than visible light is called ultraviolet light . The term ultraviolet means "above violet. " Ultraviolet light is the range of light waves that have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than violet light in the visible range of light. With higher frequencies than visible light, ultraviolet light has more energy. It can be used to kill bacteria in food and to sterilize surgical instruments. The human skin also makes vitamin D when it is exposed to ultraviolet light. Vitamin D, in turn, is needed for strong bones and teeth. You can learn more about ultraviolet light and its discovery at this URL: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=QW5zeVy8aE0. Q: What is light with wavelengths shorter than visible light called? Choices: - weathering light - infrared light - radio waves - ultraviolet light A:
**Answer**
ultraviolet light

Answer the following question given this paragraph: An innate behavior is any behavior that occurs naturally in all animals of a given species. An innate behavior is also called an instinct . The first time an animal performs an innate behavior, the animal does it well. The animal does not have to practice the behavior in order to get it right or become better at it. Innate behaviors are also predictable. All members of a species perform an innate behavior in the same way. From the examples described above, you can probably tell that innate behaviors usually involve important actions, like eating and caring for the young. Q: What type of behavior occurs naturally in all animals of a given species? Choices: - learned - observational - reflex - innate A:
**Answer**
innate
