Answer the following question given this paragraph: Ladybugs, also known as ladybird beetles, have a life cycle of four to six weeks. In one year, as many as six generations of ladybird beetles may hatch. In the spring, each adult female lays up to 300 eggs in small clusters on plants where aphids are present. After a week, the wingless larvae hatch. Both the ladybird beetle larvae and adults are active predators, eating only aphids, scales, mites and other plant-eating insects. The ladybugs live on the vegetation where their prey is found, which includes roses, oleander, milkweed and broccoli. Adult ladybugs don't taste very good. A bird careless enough to try to eat one will not swallow it. Q: How many weeks are in the life cycle of ladybugs A:
OPTIONS:
- two to four
- nine to six
- three to six
- four to six

Answer: four to six

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: As expected, the entropy values for solids are low, the values for gases are high, and the ones for liquids are intermediate. Another observation can be made by looking at the three hydrocarbon gases at the end of the table. For similar molecules, a higher molecular weight generally leads to a larger standard entropy value. Although this is a drastic oversimplification, we can think of this in terms of the electrons that make up each molecule. A larger molecular weight generally means more protons, which also means more electrons. There are more ways to arrange a large number of electrons within a molecule than there are to arrange a smaller number. Although these arrangements are heavily constrained by the positions of the various nuclei, there is still an overall trend for larger molecules to have higher entropy values. Q: Which state of matter has an intermediate level of entropy between solid and gas? A:
OPTIONS:
- plasma
- water
- metal
- liquid
Answer: liquid

- electric generators
output: electric generators

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A concave mirror is shaped like the inside of a bowl. The type of image it forms depends on where the object is relative to the focal point. The image may be real, upside down, and reduced in size; or it may be virtual, right-side up, and enlarged. Q: What do you call a mirror shaped like the inside of a bowl? A:

OPTIONS:
- convex
- circular
- curved
- concave

A: concave

input: OPTIONS:
- gaseous
- continuous
- heterogeneous
- homogeneous Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: As a child, you may have made suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water, known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible (or that can be seen with a magnifying glass). They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, when we make a solution, we prepare a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved species are molecules or ions. Solutions exhibit completely different behavior from suspensions. A solution may be colored, but it is transparent, the molecules or ions are invisible, and they do not settle out on standing. A group of mixtures called colloids (or colloidal dispersions) exhibit properties intermediate between those of suspensions and solutions (Figure 11.30). The particles in a colloid are larger than most simple molecules; however, colloidal particles are small enough that they do not settle out upon standing. Q: Distinct from a suspension, a solution is considered what type of mixture? A:
A:
output: homogeneous

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Consider the simple ramp in Figure below . A ramp can be used to raise an object up off the ground. The input distance is the length of the sloped surface of the ramp. The output distance is the height of the ramp, or the vertical distance the object is raised. Therefore, the ideal mechanical advantage of the ramp is:. Q: The length of the sloped surface of a ramp is referred to as what? A:
OPTIONS:
- accumulation distance
- output distance
- furlong
- input distance
Answer:
input distance
