Answer the following question given this paragraph: The intentional cultivation of arthropods and other small animals for human food, referred to as minilivestock, is now emerging in animal husbandry as an ecologically sound concept. However, the greatest contribution of arthropods to human food supply is by pollination. Three-fourths of the world's flowering plants and about 35% of the world's food crops depend on animal pollinators to reproduce and increase crop yields. More than 3,500 species of native bees pollinate crops. Some scientists estimate that one out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of animal pollinators, including birds and bats and arthropods like bees, butterflies and moths, and beetles and other insects. Q: What is the greatest contribution of arthropods to human food supply? Choices: - vegetation - reproduction - hibernation - pollination A:
pollination
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What continuously monitors and repairs its genetic material? Choices: - ova - nucleolus - proteins - cells A:
cells
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Matter can be classified on the basis of its interactions with light. Matter may be transparent, translucent, or opaque. An example of each type of matter is pictured in the Figure below . Q: Transparent, translucent, or opaque are properties of matter based on an interaction with what? Choices: - air - electricity - gravity - light A:
A: light
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Carbon sequestration captures carbon dioxide as it is emitted by a power plant before it enters the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is then stored in another form. Carbon is sequestered naturally by forests. Trees take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Artificial methods of sequestering carbon underground are being researched. This is just one of the geoengineering methods that are being researched for reducing carbon dioxide. Q: What captures carbon dioxide as it is emitted by a power plant before it enters the atmosphere? Choices: - chemical sequestration - oxide sequestration - nitrogen sequestration - carbon sequestration A:
Answer: carbon sequestration

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The sparks from a steel grinder are molten iron. The iron reacts with oxygen to form iron(III) oxide. Q: When sparks from a steel grinder react with oxygen, what do they form? Choices: - rust - spontaneous combustion - steel oxide - iron oxide A:
**Answer**
iron oxide
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: When gametes unite during fertilization, the resulting zygote inherits two alleles for each gene. One allele comes from each parent. The alleles an individual inherits make up the individual's genotype . The two alleles may be the same or different. As shown in Table below , an organism with two alleles of the same type ( BB or bb ) is called a homozygote . An organism with two different alleles ( Bb ) is called a heterozygote . This results in three possible genotypes. Q: When gametes unite during fertilization, the resulting zygote inherits two of what for each gene, one from each parent? Choices: - chromosomes - genomes - molecules - alleles A:
(A).
alleles
