Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.

[Q]: Passage: Most gemstones are not used exactly as they are found in nature. Usually, gems are cut and polished. Figure below shows an uncut piece of ruby and a ruby that has been cut and polished. The way a mineral splits along a surface allows it to be cut to produce smooth surfaces. Notice that the cut and polished ruby sparkles more. Gems sparkle because light bounces back when it hits them. These gems are cut so that the most amount of light possible bounces back. Other gemstones, such as turquoise, are opaque, which means light does not pass through them. These gems are not cut in the same way. Answer: opaque
[A]: What are gemstones known as when light cannot pass through them?

[Q]: Passage: Pulmonary circulation is the part of the circulatory system that carries blood between the heart and lungs (the term pulmonary means "of the lungs"). It is illustrated in Figure below . Deoxygenated blood leaves the right ventricle through pulmonary arteries, which transport it to the lungs. In the lungs, the blood gives up carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen. The oxygenated blood then returns to the left atrium of the heart through pulmonary veins. Answer: oxygen
[A]: While in the lungs, blood gives up carbon dioxide and picks up what element before returning to the heart?

[Q]: Passage: We obviously can't live without plants, but sometimes they cause us problems. Many plants are weeds. Weeds are plants that grow where people don't want them, such as gardens and lawns. They take up space and use resources, hindering the growth of more desirable plants. People often introduce plants to new habitats where they lack natural predators and parasites. The introduced plants may spread rapidly and drive out native plants. Many plants produce pollen, which can cause allergies. Plants may also produce toxins that harm human health (see Figure below ). Answer: weeds
[A]:
What are plants that grow where people don't want them to and can take up space and use resources which hinders growth of more desirable plants?
