Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Although renewable, soil takes a very long to formup to hundreds of millions of years. So, for human purposes, soil is a nonrenewable resource. It is also constantly depleted of nutrients through careless use and eroded by wind and water. For example, misuse of soil caused a huge amount of it to simply blow away in the 1930s during the Dust Bowl (see Figure below ). Soil must be used wisely to preserve it for the future. Conservation practices include contour plowing and terracing. Both reduce soil erosion. Soil also must be protected from toxic wastes. Q: What resource is considered nonrewable for human purposes, because it takes so long to form and is depleted by farming and other activities? A:

OPTIONS:
- water
- acid
- sunshine
- soil

A: soil

input: OPTIONS:
- fibers
- ions
- seeds
- spores Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: Meiosis in the sporophyte produces haploid cells called what? A:
A:
output: spores

OPTIONS:
- hibernation
- immunity
- potency
- latency

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Karakoram Range is part of the Himalaya Mountains. K2, pictured here, is the second highest mountain the world at over 28,000 feet. The number and height of mountains is impressive. Q: What is the second highest mountain in the world, at over 28,000 feet? A:
Answer: k2

Problem:OPTIONS:
- acidic solution
- exothermic solution
- dissolved solution
- hypotonic solution

Answer the following question given this paragraph: A cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, will swell and lyse (burst) when placed in a hypotonic solution. Cells with a cell wall will swell when placed in a hypotonic solution, but once the cell is turgid (firm), the tough cell wall prevents any more water from entering the cell. When placed in a hypertonic solution, a cell without a cell wall will lose water to the environment, shrivel, and probably die. In a hypertonic solution, a cell with a cell wall will lose water too. The plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall as it shrivels, a process called plasmolysis . Animal cells tend to do best in an isotonic environment, plant cells tend to do best in a hypotonic environment. This is demonstrated in Figure below . Q: A red blood cell will swell and burst when placed in a? A:
****
A: hypotonic solution

Problem:OPTIONS:
- casting
- cold fusion
- distillation
- electroplating

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Electroplating In a process called electroplating, a layer of a second metal is deposited on the metal electrode that acts as the cathode during electrolysis. Electroplating is used to enhance the appearance of metal objects and protect them from corrosion. Examples of electroplating include the chromium layer found on many bathroom fixtures or (in earlier days) on the bumpers and hubcaps of cars, as well as the thin layer of precious metal that coats silver-plated dinnerware or jewelry. In all cases, the basic concept is the same. A schematic view of an apparatus for electroplating silverware and a photograph of a commercial electroplating cell are shown in Figure 19.24 "Electroplating". Q: What is the process in which a layer of a second metal is deposited on the metal electrode that acts as the cathode during electrolysis? A:
****
A:
electroplating
