Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Student responses will vary. A few comparisons to consider are:

Similarities:
comprised of liquid hydrogen and helium
same three cloud layers
belt zone circulation (but not as prevalent in Saturn as Jupiter)
rings (not as prevalent in Jupiter as Saturn)
differential rotation
possess large, active moons
have small inclination of orbit to ecliptic
similar periods of rotation

Differences:
Saturn is far less dense, so much it could float on water.
Jupiter is largest planet in the Solar System.
Jupiter has storms that have lasted for centuries.
Saturn is farther away from the Sun than Jupiter.
Jupiter is hotter.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
