    Abortion is not considered a form of birth control because it involves terminating a pregnancy after conception has occurred.

    • Converge

    • Concave

    • Convex

    • Confer

    Correct Answer
    A. Concave
    Explanation
    Concave glasses are the correct correctional glasses for long-sightedness. Concave lenses are thinner at the center and thicker at the edges, causing light to diverge before entering the eye. This helps to correct the focusing issue of the eye and allows for clear vision at near distances.

    The correct answer is "Biotic Factor". Biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. These organisms interact with each other and their environment, playing crucial roles in the functioning and balance of the ecosystem. Biotic factors influence the availability of resources, energy flow, and nutrient cycling within the ecosystem. Therefore, the living things in an ecology are considered biotic factors.

    Which of these is not transferable with genetics?

    • Intelligence

    • Behavior

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Behavior
    Explanation
    Behavior is not transferable with genetics because behavior is influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While certain genetic traits may predispose individuals to certain behaviors, behavior itself is not solely determined by genetics. Environmental factors such as upbringing, experiences, and cultural influences also play a significant role in shaping behavior. Therefore, behavior cannot be solely attributed to genetics and is not transferable through genetic inheritance.

    Respiration is

    • Breathing in and out

    • Breathing in air to break down food substances

    • The chemical reaction of oxygen and water.

    • Breathing in oxygen

    Correct Answer
    A. Breathing in air to break down food substances
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Breathing in air to break down food substances." Respiration is the process by which organisms obtain energy from food. In humans, this involves breathing in air, which contains oxygen, and using it to break down food molecules through a series of chemical reactions. This process releases energy in the form of ATP, which is used by cells for various functions.

    Which of these is not a product of excretion? - ProProfs

    Which of these is not a product of excretion?

    • Gas

    • Faeces

    • Urine

    • Sweat

    Correct Answer
    A. Faeces
    Explanation
    Faeces is not a product of excretion because it is the solid waste material that is formed in the large intestine and eliminated through the rectum. Excretion refers to the process of eliminating waste products from the body, and while gas, urine, and sweat are all waste products that are excreted, faeces is the result of the digestion and absorption of food rather than the elimination of metabolic waste.
