Q: What surrounds the lungs in a thoracic cavity? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Choices: - calcium - single membrane - water - double membrane A:
double membrane

Q: What is name of the phenomenon where similar traits evolve independently in species that do not share a common ancestry? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Figure 22.31 The force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field is. Choices: - equation evolution - coalescence evolution - divergent evolution - convergent evolution A:
convergent evolution

Q: Q: Energy is absorbed as reactants are converted to products in what kind of chemical reaction? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: For an endothermic chemical reaction, energy is absorbed as reactants are converted to products. Exothermic and endothermic reactions can be thought of as having energy as either a product of the reaction or a reactant. Exothermic reactions give off energy, so energy is a product. Endothermic reactions require energy, so energy is a reactant. Choices: - anaphoric - hydrostatic - synthesis - endothermic A:
A: endothermic

Question: Q: The wrist and base of the hand are formed by what series of small bones arranged in distal and proximal rows? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Carpal Bones The wrist and base of the hand are formed by a series of eight small carpal bones (see Figure 8.7). The carpal bones are arranged in two rows, forming a proximal row of four carpal bones and a distal row of four carpal bones. The bones in the proximal row, running from the lateral (thumb) side to the medial side, are the scaphoid ("boat-shaped"), lunate ("moonshaped"), triquetrum ("three-cornered"), and pisiform ("pea-shaped") bones. The small, rounded pisiform bone articulates with the anterior surface of the triquetrum bone. The pisiform thus projects anteriorly, where it forms the bony bump that can be felt at the medial base of your hand. The distal bones (lateral to medial) are the trapezium ("table"), trapezoid ("resembles a table"), capitate ("head-shaped"), and hamate ("hooked bone") bones. The hamate bone is characterized by a prominent bony extension on its anterior side called the hook of the hamate bone. A helpful mnemonic for remembering the arrangement of the carpal bones is "So Long To Pinky, Here Comes The Thumb. " This mnemonic starts on the lateral side and names the proximal bones from lateral to medial (scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform), then makes a U-turn to name the distal bones from medial to lateral (hamate, capitate, trapezoid, trapezium). Thus, it starts and finishes on the lateral side. Choices: - ribs - patella - cranial - carpal A:
Answer: carpal

Q: What are large sheets of ice that cover relatively flat ground called? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Continental glaciers are large ice sheets that cover relatively flat ground. These glaciers flow outward from where the greatest amounts of snow and ice accumulate. Choices: - land glaciers - cellular glaciers - rocky glaciers - continental glaciers A:
**Answer**
continental glaciers

Q: What play several important roles in the human body? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Lipids play several important roles in the body. Triglycerides are stored in fat cells until the body needs to break them down for chemical energy. These stored triglycerides also help insulate the body against extreme temperatures and cushion organs against physical jostling. Phospholipids and cholesterol are important constituents of the cell membrane. These compounds provide structural integrity to the cell wall, since they are not water-soluble. Other steroids are used as chemical messengers in the body, and the fat-soluble vitamins serve a variety of other functions. Choices: - cells - tissues - organs - lipids A:
**Answer**
lipids
