Answer the following question given this paragraph: Much of Earth's surface is covered with oceans. That's why Earth is called the "water planet. " Without all that water, Earth would be a very different place. The oceans affect Earth's atmosphere and influence its climate. An incredible diversity of living things inhabit the ocean as well. You might think that oceans have always covered Earth's surface, but you would be wrong!. Q: The oceans affect earth's atmosphere and influence its what? A:
****
A: climate

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Minerals are chemical elements that are essential for body processes. They include calcium, which helps form strong bones and teeth, and potassium, which is needed for normal nerve and muscle function. Good sources of minerals include leafy, green vegetables, whole grains, milk, and meats. Q: What chemical element helps forms strong bones and teeth in humans? A:
OPTIONS:
- iron
- potassium
- magnesium
- calcium
calcium

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Prokaryotic versus Eukaryotic Gene Expression To understand how gene expression is regulated, we must first understand how a gene codes for a functional protein in a cell. The process occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, just in slightly different manners. Prokaryotic organisms are single-celled organisms that lack a cell nucleus, and their DNA therefore floats freely in the cell cytoplasm. To synthesize a protein, the processes of transcription and translation occur almost simultaneously. When the resulting protein is no longer needed, transcription stops. As a result, the primary method to control what type of protein and how much of each protein is expressed in a prokaryotic cell is the regulation of DNA transcription. All of the subsequent steps occur automatically. When more protein is required, more transcription occurs. Therefore, in prokaryotic cells, the control of gene expression is mostly at the transcriptional level. Eukaryotic cells, in contrast, have intracellular organelles that add to their complexity. In eukaryotic cells, the DNA is contained inside the cell's nucleus and there it is transcribed into RNA. The newly synthesized RNA is then transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where ribosomes translate the RNA into protein. The processes of transcription and translation are physically separated by the nuclear membrane; transcription occurs only within the nucleus, and translation occurs only outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm. The regulation of gene expression can occur at all stages of the process (Figure 16.2). Regulation may occur when the DNA is uncoiled and loosened from nucleosomes to bind transcription factors ( epigenetic level), when the RNA is transcribed (transcriptional level), when the RNA is processed and exported to the cytoplasm after it is transcribed ( post-transcriptional level), when the RNA is translated into protein (translational level), or after the protein has been made ( post-translational level). Q: If you find dna floating in a cell's cytoplasm, what kind of organism is it? A:
OPTIONS:
- unicellular
- xerophytic
- eurocratic
- prokaryotic

Answer: prokaryotic

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The primary feature shared by all vertebrates is the vertebral column , or backbone. The vertebral column protects the spinal cord. Q: What does the vertebral column , or backbone, protect? A:
OPTIONS:
- disks
- neurons
- axons
- spinal cord
Answer: spinal cord

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Even though they are very strong, bones can fracture , or break. Fractures can happen at different places on a bone. They are usually caused by excess bending stress on the bone. Bending stress is what causes a pencil to break if you bend it too far. Q: What usually causes fractures on a bone? A:
OPTIONS:
- compressive stress
- shear stress
- extra weight
- excessive bending stress
output: excessive bending stress

Problem: OPTIONS:
- egg
- reproductive
- adult
- larval
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Unlike amphibians, reptiles do not have a larval stage. Instead, newly hatched reptiles look like smaller versions of the adults. They are able to move about on their own, but they are vulnerable to predators. Even so, most reptile parents provide no care to their hatchlings. In fact, most reptiles don't even take care of their eggs. For example, female sea turtles lay their eggs on a sandy beach and then return to the ocean. The only exceptions are female crocodiles and alligators. They may defend their nest from predators and help the hatchlings reach the water. If the young remain in the area, the mother may continue to protect them for up to a year. Q: Unlike amphibians, reptiles do not have what stage? A:
Answer:
larval
