Problem:OPTIONS:
- elasticity
- solubility
- malleability
- compressibility

Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Compressibility is the measure of how much a given volume of matter decreases when placed under pressure. If we put pressure on a solid or a liquid, there is essentially no change in volume. The atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid or liquid are very close together. There is no space between the individual particles, so they cannot pack together.   Q: The measure of how much a given volume of matter decreases when placed under pressure is called?   A:
****
A: compressibility


Problem:OPTIONS:
- neutrons
- protons
- isotopes
- electrons

Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Electronegativity is a qualitative measure of how much an atom attracts electrons in a covalent bond.   Q: Electronegativity is a qualitative measure of how much an atom attracts what in a covalent bond?   A:
****
A: electrons


Problem:OPTIONS:
- sexual
- meiosis
- mitosis
- asexual

Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction found in plants. This type of reproduction occurs when new individuals are formed without the production of seeds or spores. The formation of new plants out of rhizomes or stolons is an example of vegetative reproductive, such as in the strawberry plant. Other plants use this type of reproduction to reproduce through bulbs or tubers, or shoots and suckers that form along lateral roots. See the Plant Biology concepts for additional information.   Q: What kind of reproduction is vegetative reproduction?   A:
****
A: asexual


Problem:OPTIONS:
- Pituitary
- Thyroid
- Pancreas
- endocrine

Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Diseases of the endocrine system are fairly common. An endocrine disease usually involves the secretion of too much or not enough hormone by an endocrine gland. This may happen because the gland develops an abnormal lump of cells called a tumor. For example, a tumor of the pituitary gland can cause secretion of too much growth hormone. If this occurs in a child, it may result in very rapid growth and unusual tallness by adulthood. This is called gigantism.   Q: An endocrine disease usually involves the secretion of too much or not enough hormone by which gland?   A:
****
A:
