Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Therian mammals are viviparous. They give birth to an embryo or infant rather than laying eggs. The female reproductive system of a therian mammal includes a uterus and a vagina. There are two groups of therian mammals: placental mammals and marsupials. Q: What are the two groups of therian mammals? A:

OPTIONS:
- felines and canines
- monotremes and mollusks
- dolphins and whales
- placental mammals and marsupials

A: placental mammals and marsupials

input: OPTIONS:
- law of inertia
- conservation of energy
- conservation of momentum
- conservation of mass Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A series of chemical reactions where an initial amount of copper reacts with nitric acid, goes into solution, and disappears. Then a series of reactions proceed, only to have the copper metal recovered. The copper cycle is a good illustration of how mass is conserved in a given chemical reaction. Q: The cycle of copper reacting is a good example of what principle? A:
A:
output: conservation of mass

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure below shows a simple diagram of the expanding universe. Imagine a balloon covered with tiny dots. When you blow up the balloon, the rubber stretches. The dots slowly move away from each other as the space between them increases. In an expanding universe, the space between galaxies is expanding. We see this as the other galaxies moving away from us. We also see that galaxies farther away from us move away faster than nearby galaxies. Q: How does the distance between galaxies change as the universe expands? A:

OPTIONS:
- it decreases
- it is unchanged
- it becomes irrelevant
- it increases

Answer: it increases

Problem: OPTIONS:
- reproduction
- differentiation
- mutation
- transcription
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Transcription is the first step in protein synthesis. It takes place in the nucleus. During transcription, a strand of DNA is copied to make a strand of mRNA. How does this happen? It occurs by the following steps, as shown in Figure below . Q: What is the first step in protein synthesis? A:
Answer: transcription

Problem:OPTIONS:
- inorganic compounds
- amino acids
- hydrocarbons
- organic compounds

Answer the following question given this paragraph: In just the right combinations, you get life. Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. Some of the most basic of elements, but some of the most important. Together they can form countless combinations of organic compounds. And in just the right combinations, anything can happen. Q: Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur are basic elements that form what type of compounds, which are vital to life? A:
****
A: organic compounds

Problem:OPTIONS:
- carbon
- helium
- oxygen
- sulfur

Answer the following question given this paragraph: water. Sulfur, critical to the 3D folding of proteins (as in disulfide binding), is released into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal. The cycling of these elements is interconnected. For example, the movement of water is critical for the leaching of nitrogen and phosphate into rivers, lakes, and oceans. Furthermore, the ocean itself is a major reservoir for carbon. Thus, mineral nutrients are cycled, either rapidly or slowly, through the entire biosphere, from one living organism to another, and between the biotic and abiotic world. Q: What element is released into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels? A:
****
A:
sulfur
