Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Relative humidity decreases when the absolute humidity is held constant and the temperature of the gas is increased because the warmer gas has a higher capacity. Mathematically, when the de-nominator of a ratio is increased, the whole number will decrease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Evaporation occurs when liquid molecules near the surface contain enough kinetic energy to break free and enter a vapor state without the addition of heat. Vaporization is the energy re-quired to vaporize a liquid. The boiling point is when the water is heated to a point at which molecules leave the liquid state and produce water vapor.

IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody made in response to an infection. IgE antibody levels are often high in people with allergies. IgD antibodies are found in tissues lining the abdomen and chest.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

The tallest man ever known was Robert Wadlow, an American, who reached the height of 8 feet 11 inches. He died at age 26 years from an infection caused by the immense weight of his body (491 pounds) and the stress on his leg bones and muscles.
