Answer the following question given this paragraph: Evolution occurs by natural selection, the process by which organisms with traits that better enable them to adapt to their environment will tend to survive and reproduce in greater numbers. Evolution is due to differences in the survival and reproduction of individuals within a population. Q: What is the process that allows organisms with better traits to survive and produce? A:
OPTIONS:
- spontaneous mutation
- adaptation
- succession
- natural selection
natural selection

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Organisms that have a diploid life cycle spend the majority of their lives as diploid adults. All diploid adults inherit half of their DNA from each parent. When they are ready to reproduce, diploid reproductive cells undergo meiosis and produce haploid gametes. These gametes then fuse through fertilization and produce a diploid zygote, which immediately enters G 1 of the cell cycle. Next, the zygote's DNA is replicated. Finally, the processes of mitosis and cytokinesis produce two genetically identical diploid cells. Through repeated rounds of growth and division, this organism becomes a diploid adult and the cycle continues. This is the life cycle of humans. Q: What is the series of changes in the life of an organism? A:
OPTIONS:
- insect metamorphosis
- evolution
- circle of life
- life cycle

Answer: life cycle

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Any useful hypothesis will allow predictions based on reasoning. Reasoning can be broken down into two categories: deduction and induction. Most reasoning in science is formed through induction. Q: Reasoning can be broken down into two categories: deduction and? A:
OPTIONS:
- conduction
- preduction
- invention
- induction
Answer: induction

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Relationship between Lattice Energies and Physical Properties The magnitude of the forces that hold an ionic substance together has a dramatic effect on many of its properties. The melting point, for example, is the temperature at which the individual ions have enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces that hold them in place. At the melting point, the ions can move freely, and the substance becomes a liquid. Thus melting points vary with lattice energies for ionic substances that have similar structures. The melting points of the sodium halides (Figure 8.3 "A Plot of Melting Point versus the Identity of the Halide for the Sodium Halides"), for example, decrease smoothly from NaF to NaI, following the same trend as seen for their lattice energies (Figure 8.2 "A Plot of Lattice Energy versus the Identity of the Halide for the Lithium, Sodium, and Potassium Halides"). Similarly, the melting point of MgO is 2825C, compared with 996C for NaF, reflecting the higher lattice energies associated with higher charges on the ions. In fact, because of its high melting point, MgO is used as an electrical insulator in heating elements for electric stoves. Figure 8.3 A Plot of Melting Point versus the Identity of the Halide for the Sodium Halides. Q: The temperature at which the individual ions have enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces that hold them in place is called? A:
OPTIONS:
- occurring point
- boiling point
- last point
- melting point
output: melting point

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: If you look at the map pictured below, you will see that the lithosphere is divided into plates ( Figure below ). There are a dozen major and several minor plates. Each plate is named for the continent or ocean basin it contains. Some plates are made of all oceanic lithosphere. A few are all continental lithosphere. But most plates are made of a combination of both. Notice the locations where the most earthquake epicenters are found. Q: Most plates are made up of a combination of what? A:

OPTIONS:
- oceanic and reflective lithosphere
- continental and battered lithosphere
- continental and reflective lithosphere
- continental and oceanic lithosphere

A: continental and oceanic lithosphere

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Light with the longest wavelengths is called infrared light . The term infrared means "below red. " Infrared light is the range of light waves that have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than red light in the visible range of light waves. The sun gives off infrared light as do flames and living things. You can't see infrared light waves, but you can feel them as heat. But infrared cameras and night vision goggles can detect infrared light waves and convert them to visible images. For a deeper understanding of infrared light, watch the video at this URL: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=2--0q0XlQJ0 . Q: Light with the longest wavelengths is called what? A:
OPTIONS:
- visible light
- X-rays
- UV light
- infrared light
infrared light
