Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The transition metals are an interesting and challenging group of elements. They have perplexing patterns of electron distribution that don't always follow the electron filling rules. Predicting how they will form ions is also not always obvious. Q: What kind of metals have perplexing patterns of electron distribution that don't always follow the electron filling rules? A:

OPTIONS:
- solution
- transformation
- variating
- transition

A: transition

input: OPTIONS:
- hibernation
- evacuation
- emigration
- migration Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: One type of migration that you are probably familiar with is the migration of birds. Maybe you have heard that birds fly south for the winter. In the fall, birds fly thousands of miles to the south where it is warmer. In the spring, they return to their homes. ( Figure below ). Q: Birds flying thousands of miles south in the winter, then returning to their homes in spring, is a familiar example of what? A:
A:
output: migration

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Carpal Bones The wrist and base of the hand are formed by a series of eight small carpal bones (see Figure 8.7). The carpal bones are arranged in two rows, forming a proximal row of four carpal bones and a distal row of four carpal bones. The bones in the proximal row, running from the lateral (thumb) side to the medial side, are the scaphoid ("boat-shaped"), lunate ("moonshaped"), triquetrum ("three-cornered"), and pisiform ("pea-shaped") bones. The small, rounded pisiform bone articulates with the anterior surface of the triquetrum bone. The pisiform thus projects anteriorly, where it forms the bony bump that can be felt at the medial base of your hand. The distal bones (lateral to medial) are the trapezium ("table"), trapezoid ("resembles a table"), capitate ("head-shaped"), and hamate ("hooked bone") bones. The hamate bone is characterized by a prominent bony extension on its anterior side called the hook of the hamate bone. A helpful mnemonic for remembering the arrangement of the carpal bones is "So Long To Pinky, Here Comes The Thumb. " This mnemonic starts on the lateral side and names the proximal bones from lateral to medial (scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform), then makes a U-turn to name the distal bones from medial to lateral (hamate, capitate, trapezoid, trapezium). Thus, it starts and finishes on the lateral side. Q: The wrist and base of the hand are formed by what series of small bones arranged in distal and proximal rows? A:

OPTIONS:
- ribs
- patella
- cranial
- carpal

Answer: carpal

Problem: OPTIONS:
- lagoon
- trenches
- break water
- coral reefs
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In which of the following regions would you expect to find photosynthetic organisms? a. The aphotic zone, the neritic zone, the oceanic zone, and the benthic realm. The photic zone, the intertidal zone, the neritic zone, and the oceanic zone. The photic zone, the abyssal zone, the neritic zone, and the oceanic zone. The pelagic realm, the aphotic zone, the neritic zone, and the oceanic zone. Coral Reefs Coral reefs are ocean ridges formed by marine invertebrates living in warm shallow waters within the photic zone of the ocean. They are found within 30 north and south of the equator. The Great Barrier Reef is a well-known reef system located several miles off the northeastern coast of Australia. Other coral reefs are fringing islands, which are directly adjacent to land, or atolls, which are circular reefs surrounding a former island that is now underwater. The coral-forming colonies of organisms (members of phylum Cnidaria) secrete a calcium carbonate skeleton. These calcium-rich skeletons slowly accumulate, thus forming the underwater reef (Figure 20.29). Corals found in shallower waters (at a depth of approximately 60 m or about 200 ft) have a mutualistic relationship with photosynthetic unicellular protists. The relationship provides corals with the majority of the nutrition and the energy they require. The waters in which these corals live are nutritionally poor and, without this mutualism, it would not be possible for large corals to grow because there are few planktonic organisms for them to feed on. Some corals living in deeper and colder water do not have a mutualistic relationship with protists; these corals must obtain their energy exclusively by feeding on plankton using stinging cells on their tentacles. Q: Ocean ridges formed by marine invertebrates living in warm shallow waters within the photic zone of the ocean are called what? A:
Answer: coral reefs

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 21.14 Vaccinations are designed to boost immunity to a virus to prevent infection. (credit: USACE Europe District). Q: Vaccinations are designed to boost immunity to a virus to prevent this? A:
****
A: infection

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The stems of all vascular plants get longer through primary growth. This occurs in primary meristem at the tips and nodes of the stems. Most stems also grow in thickness through secondary growth. This occurs in secondary meristem, which is located in and around the vascular tissues. Secondary growth forms secondary vascular tissues and bark. In many trees, the yearly growth of new vascular tissues results in an annual growth ring like the one in Figure below . When a tree is cut down, the rings in the trunk can be counted to estimate the tree's age. Q: The stems of all vascular plants get longer through primary growth. this occurs in primary meristem at the tips and ______ of the stems. A:
****
A:
nodes
