Answer the following question given this paragraph: The dermis is the inner layer of skin. It is made of tough connective tissue. The dermis is attached to the epidermis by fibers made of the protein collagen. The dermis is where most skin structures are located. Look again at Figure above . You'll see that the dermis has blood vessels and nerve endings. The nerve endings explain why skin can sense pain, pressure, and temperature. If you cut your skin and it bleeds, the cut has penetrated the dermis and damaged a blood vessel. The cut probably hurts as well because of the nerve endings in this skin layer. Q: What is the inner layer of skin called? Choices: - connective layer - hypodermis - the epidermis - the dermis A:
the dermis

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Earthquakes with a magnitude in the 9 range are rare. The United States Geological Survey lists five such earthquakes on the moment magnitude scale since 1900 (see Figure below ). All but one, the Great Indian Ocean Earthquake of 2004, occurred somewhere around the Pacific Ring of Fire. Q: Since 1900, four of the five earthquakes of the greatest magnitude occurred near what appropriately nicknamed pacific location? Choices: - shower of fire - quake epicenter - seismic zone - ring of fire A:
(Answer)
ring of fire
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Most modern plants, like the skunk cabbage, produce flowers. However, flowers evolved relatively late in the history of plants. The earliest plants not only lacked flowers. They also lacked leaves, roots, and stems. They probably resembled the alga in Figure below . Q: The earliest types of what lacked flowers, leaves, roots and stems? Choices: - animals - clouds - houses - plants A:
Ans: plants
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Carbonate minerals are often found where seas once covered the land. Some carbonate minerals are very common. Calcite contains calcium, carbon, and oxygen. Have you ever been in a limestone cave or seen a marble tile? Calcite is in both limestone and marble. Azurite and malachite are also carbonate minerals. They contain copper instead of calcium. They are not as common as calcite. Malachite and azurite are used in jewelry; as you can see, they are very colorful ( Figure below ). Q: What type of minerals are often found where seas once covered the land? Choices: - magnesium - crystals - sea salt - carbonate A:
(A).
carbonate
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Ozone (O 3 ) depletion in the atmosphere is of significant concern. This gas serves as a protection against the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Ozone is naturally depleted in addition to the depletion caused by human-made chemicals. The depletion reaction is a two-step process:. Q: What done ozone help protect against? Choices: - gamma rays - x-rays - helium rays - ultraviolet rays A:

Ans:ultraviolet rays
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 2.43 Positions and velocities of a metal ball released from rest when air resistance is negligible. Velocity is seen to increase linearly with time while displacement increases with time squared. Acceleration is a constant and is equal to gravitational acceleration. Q: If a ball is released from rest when air resistance is negligible, velocity is seen to increase linearly, while what related property is a constant? Choices: - time - speed - density - acceleration A:
Answer:
acceleration
