TASK DEFINITION: Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.
PROBLEM: Passage: Light may transfer its energy to matter rather than being reflected or transmitted by matter. This is called absorption . When light is absorbed, the added energy increases the temperature of matter. If you get into a car that has been sitting in the sun all day, the seats and other parts of the car's interior may be almost too hot to touch, especially if they are black or very dark in color.

SOLUTION: When light transfers its energy to objects, this is known as what?

PROBLEM: Passage: For example, remember that for the height gene in pea plants there are two possible factors. These factors are alleles. There is a dominant allele for tallness (T) and a recessive allele for shortness (t) . Answer: alleles

The compound it represents is carbon dioxide, a gas you exhale each time you breathe. Answer: carbon dioxide

SOLUTION:
Which gas do people exhale during each breath?
