Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Fishes Modern fishes include an estimated 31,000 species. Fishes were the earliest vertebrates, and jawless fishes were the earliest of these. Jawless fishesthe present day hagfishes and lampreyshave a distinct cranium and complex sense organs including eyes, distinguishing them from the invertebrate chordates. The jawed fishes evolved later and are extraordinarily diverse today. Fishes are active feeders, rather than sessile, suspension feeders. Jawless Fishes Jawless fishes are craniates (which includes all the chordate groups except the tunicates and lancelets) that represent an ancient vertebrate lineage that arose over one half-billion years ago. Some of the earliest jawless fishes were the ostracoderms (which translates as "shell-skin"). Ostracoderms, now extinct, were vertebrate fishes encased in bony armor, unlike present-day jawless fishes, which lack bone in their scales. The clade Myxini includes 67 species of hagfishes. Hagfishes are eel-like scavengers that live on the ocean floor and feed on dead invertebrates, other fishes, and marine mammals (Figure 15.37a). Hagfishes are entirely marine and are found in oceans around the world except for the polar regions. A unique feature of these animals is the slime glands beneath the skin that are able to release an extraordinary amount of mucus through surface pores. This mucus may allow the hagfish to escape from the grip of predators. Hagfish are known to enter the bodies of dead or dying organisms to devour them from the inside. Q: Fishes were the earliest example of what subphylum, and jawless fishes were the earliest of these? A:
OPTIONS:
- grasses
- ferns
- mammals
- vertebrates
Answer: vertebrates

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: All that magma and gas pushing upwards can make the volcano's slope begin to swell. Ground swelling may change the shape of a volcano or cause rock falls and landslides. Most of the time, the ground tilting is not visible. Scientists detect it by using tiltmeters, which are instruments that measure the angle of the slope of a volcano. Q: Which instruments are used to measure the angle of the slope of a volcano? A:
OPTIONS:
- altimeter
- compass
- calipers
- tiltmeters
output: tiltmeters

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Producers are living things that use energy to make food. Producers make food for themselves and other living things. There are two types of producers:. Q: Living things that use energy to make food, both for themselves and other living things, are what part of an ecosystem? A:

OPTIONS:
- consumers
- decomposers
- growers
- producers

A: producers

input: OPTIONS:
- extraction sulfide
- methane sulfide
- iron
- zinc sulfide Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In the course of a chemical reaction between a metal and a nonmetal, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the nonmetal atoms. For example, when zinc metal is mixed with sulfur and heated, the compound zinc sulfide is produced. Two valence electrons from each zinc atom are transferred to each sulfur atom. Q: When zinc metal is mixed with sulfur and heated, what is produced? A:
A:
output: zinc sulfide

Answer the following question given this paragraph: At least by our current understanding, a given atom can be defined by its atomic number and its mass number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. All atoms with a given atomic number are the same element, because the chemical properties of an atom are primarily determined by the number of positive charges in its nucleus (and therefore the number of negatively charged electrons needed to make it neutral). The mass number of an atom is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Since these particles both have a mass of approximately 1 amu and electrons are much smaller, the mass number is approximately equal to the mass of the atom in units of amu. Q: What is the number of protons in the nucleus? A:

OPTIONS:
- element
- metallic number
- atomic mass
- atomic number

Answer: atomic number

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sodium is a highly reactive metal, and chlorine is a poisonous gas (see Figure below ). The compound they synthesize has very different properties. It is table salt, which is neither reactive nor poisonous. In fact, salt is a necessary component of the human diet. Q: Sodium and chlorine combine to make what? A:

OPTIONS:
- gold
- seawater
- iron
- salt

A:
salt
