Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Artificial Methods of Asexual Reproduction These methods are frequently employed to give rise to new, and sometimes novel, plants. They include grafting, cutting, layering, and micropropagation. Grafting Grafting has long been used to produce novel varieties of roses, citrus species, and other plants. In grafting, two plant species are used; part of the stem of the desirable plant is grafted onto a rooted plant called the stock. The part that is grafted or attached is called the scion. Both are cut at an oblique angle (any angle other than a right angle), placed in close contact with each other, and are then held together Figure 32.26. Matching up these two surfaces as closely as possible is extremely important because these will be holding the plant together. The vascular systems of the two plants grow and fuse, forming a graft. After a period of time, the scion starts producing shoots, and eventually starts bearing flowers and fruits. Grafting is widely used in viticulture (grape growing) and the citrus industry. Scions capable of producing a particular fruit variety are grated onto root stock with specific resistance to disease. Q: During grafting, the part of the plant that is grafted is called? A:
OPTIONS:
- roots
- stock
- stem
- scion
Answer: scion

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Metalloids are the smallest class of elements. (The other two classes of elements are metals and nonmetals). There are just six metalloids. In addition to silicon, they include boron, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. Metalloids fall between metals and nonmetals in the periodic table. They also fall between metals and nonmetals in terms of their properties. Q: Metalloids, metals, and nonmetals are all classes of what? A:
OPTIONS:
- compounds
- protons
- matter
- elements
output: elements

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Proteins are the most numerous and diverse biochemical compounds. They have many different functions. Q: What are the most numerous and diverse biochemical compounds? A:

OPTIONS:
- lipids
- acids
- vitamins
- proteins

A: proteins

input: OPTIONS:
- argon
- sulfur dioxide
- neon
- ozone Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Photochemical smog consists mainly of ozone (O 3 ). The ozone in smog is the same compound as the ozone in the ozone layer,(O 3 ). But ozone in smog is found near the ground. Figure below shows how it forms. When nitrogen oxides and VOCs are heated by the Sun, they lose oxygen atoms. The oxygen atoms combine with molecules of oxygen to form ozone. Smog ozone is harmful to humans and other living things. Q: What dangerous oxygen compound is found in ground level smog? A:
A:
output: ozone

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Elements are either metals, nonmetals, or semimetals. Each group is located in a different part of the periodic table. Another way to categorize the elements of the periodic table is shown in Figure 2.9 "Special Names for Sections of the Periodic Table". The first two columns on the left and the last six columns on the right are called the main group elements. The ten-column block between these columns contains the transition metals. The two rows beneath the main body of the periodic table contain the inner transition metals. The elements in these two rows are also referred to as, respectively, the lanthanide metals and the actinide metals. Figure 2.9 Special Names for Sections of the Periodic Table. Q: Elements are either metals, nonmetals, or what? A:

OPTIONS:
- reactive metals
- partial metals
- unstable metals
- semimetals

Answer: semimetals

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Motility The majority of protists are motile, but different types of protists have evolved varied modes of movement (Figure 23.8). Some protists have one or more flagella, which they rotate or whip. Others are covered in rows or tufts of tiny cilia that they coordinately beat to swim. Still others form cytoplasmic extensions called pseudopodia anywhere on the cell, anchor the pseudopodia to a substrate, and pull themselves forward. Some protists can move toward or away from a stimulus, a movement referred to as taxis. Movement toward light, termed phototaxis, is accomplished by coupling their locomotion strategy with a light-sensing organ. Q: What is the term for movement toward light? A:

OPTIONS:
- phototropism
- gravitational pull
- autolysis
- phototaxis

A:
phototaxis
