Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A later adaption for life on land was the evolution of vascular tissue. Vascular tissue is specialized tissue that transports water, nutrients, and food in plants. In algae, vascular tissue is not necessary since the entire body is in contact with the water, and the water simply enters the algae. But on land, water may only be found deep in the ground. Vascular tissues take water and nutrients from the ground up into the plant, while also taking food down from the leaves into the rest of the plant. The two vascular tissues are xylem and phloem. Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem carries the sugars made in the leaves to the parts of the plant where they are needed. Q: What type of tissue transports water, nutrients, and food in plants? Choices: - rough tissue - normal tissue - smooth tissue - vascular tissue A:
Answer: vascular tissue

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Polar climates are found near the North and South Poles. They also occur on high mountains at lower latitudes. The summers are very cool, and the winters are frigid. Precipitation is very low because it's so cold. The growing season is very short. Tundra prefers areas of permafrost. Permafrost is a lower layer of soil that is permanently frozen. Tundra also refers to a treeless plain with small plants. You can see examples of polar climates pictured below. Q: What do you call the lower layer of soil that is permanently frozen, and is a frequent feature of tundra? Choices: - solvent - underfoot - solid - permafrost A:
Answer: permafrost

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Coral reefs ( Figure below ) look like big rocks, but they are actually alive. They are built from cnidarians called corals. The corals are sessile (non-moving) polyps that can use their tentacles to feed on ocean creatures that pass by. Their skeletons are made up of calcium carbonate, which is also known as limestone. Over long periods of time, their skeletons build on each other to produce large structures known as coral reefs. Coral reefs are important habitats for many different types of ocean life. Q: Although they look like big rocks, what structures that serve as habitats for many different types of ocean life are actually alive? Choices: - new forming reefs - natural reefs - southern reefs - coral reefs A:
Answer:
coral reefs
