Answer the following question given this paragraph: After leaves turn color in the fall, they may all fall off the plant for the winter. Plants that shed their leaves seasonally each year are called deciduous plants . Shedding leaves is a strategy for reducing water loss during seasons of extreme dryness. On the downside, the plant must grow new leaves in the spring, and that takes a lot of energy and matter. Some plants may "bank" energy over the winter by storing food. That way, they are ready to grow new leaves as soon as spring arrives. Q: What do we call plants that shed their leaves seasonally each year? A:
OPTIONS:
- perennials
- annuals
- lush plants
- deciduous plants
deciduous plants

Answer the following question given this paragraph: During anaphase I the spindle fibers shorten, and the homologous chromosome pairs are separated from each other. This occurs as the chiasmata are severed, pulling homologous chromosomes apart. One chromosome from each pair moves toward one pole, with the other moving toward the other pole, resulting in a cell with 23 chromosomes at one pole and the other 23 at the other pole. Each chromosome still contains a pair of sister chromatids; the sister chromatids remain attached at the centromere. Q: How many pairs of chromosomes are there? A:
OPTIONS:
- 16
- 25
- 24
- 23

Answer: 23

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Plants and animals exist in a cycle; each requires products of the other. The thousands of coordinated chemical reactions that keep cells alive are referred to collectively as metabolism. In general, metabolic reactions are divided into two classes: the breaking down of molecules to obtain energy is catabolism, and the building of new molecules needed by living systems is anabolism. Q: What is the term for the metabolic reaction where living systems build new molecules? A:
OPTIONS:
- symbolism
- connectionism
- metabolism
- anabolism
Answer: anabolism

Q: Why do mangrove trees rise high above the water? which characteristic help them to do so? A:
OPTIONS:
- heavy roots
- fat roots
- no roots
- stilt like roots
output: stilt like roots

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Carbohydrates are biochemical compounds that include sugars, starches, and cellulose. They contain oxygen in addition to carbon and hydrogen.

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sperm are released from the body during ejaculation. Ejaculation occurs when muscle contractions propel sperm from the epididymes. The sperm are forced through the ducts and out of the body through the urethra. As sperm travel through the ducts, they mix with fluids from the glands to form semen. Hundreds of millions of sperm are released with each ejaculation. Q: Ejaculation occurs when muscle contractions propel sperm from where? A:
OPTIONS:
- cervix
- penis
- urinary track
- epididymes
epididymes
