question:Q:Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: My son Jack, a fourth grader, was having a hard time in getting interested in story books recently, so I offered to read the first few chapters to him. In the early pages of 'Incident at Halk Hill', a quiet little boy has a special meeting with a female badger .Soon after, another badger is caught in a steel leg trap , and the author describes in detail the pain and scare of an animal struggling to its death. We meet the cruel hunter and his ill treatment of a dog; we see the badger being skinned by the boy's father;and we experience the child's confusion when beaten by his father in anger. _ , I thought. Last night , I returned from a weekend away to find that Jack had finished the whole book on his own. "It was really, really good and sad, and violent," he reported. "There was a lot of killing." "Were there any happy parts?" I asked, "The boy's life was saved by the badger, and that was good. But then that badger got caught in a trap again and at the end it's dying, too. " Jack said, "It was so sad that I almost cried. " I told him that many books have made me cry, beginning with Heidi, when I was just his age, right on up to the novel I finished last week. "Well," he admitted then, "I actually did cry. Reading that book just reminded me of all the sadness in the world, and it made me feel sad ,too. " So, I think, now he has been through the sad tone of the passage , the discovery that words on a printed page can give rise to such strong emotion ,that a book can move you right out of your own comfortable little self and into someone else's pain. Thus we come to realize that if we are to remain fully engaged in life, open to its mysteries and feel sorry towards its suffering, we indeed need stories to grab us by the neck and remind us of the sadness in the world that is not our own.

question:Question: Chloroplasts contain the green pigment chlorophyll, and animals lack chloroplasts. Given these facts, what do animals lack among the following options: - hearts - skin cells - h2o - the body's largest organ - organic matter - characteristics - green pigment chlorophyll - Chemical energy Answer:
answer:Among the given options, animals lack green pigment chlorophyll. Since animals do not possess chloroplasts, which are the cellular structures that contain chlorophyll, they cannot engage in the process of photosynthesis like plants do. The green pigment chlorophyll plays a crucial role in capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy during photosynthesis. This chemical energy is stored in the form of glucose, which serves as an essential source of energy for the plant's growth and sustenance. In contrast, animals obtain their energy through consuming other organisms, either directly or indirectly. Instead of producing their own glucose via photosynthesis, animals consume plants or other animals to access the nutrients and energy they require to survive and maintain their bodily functions. In this way, animals depend on chlorophyll-containing plant life for sustenance, despite not housing the green pigment themselves. As for the other options provided: - Hearts: Animals typically have some form of circulatory system, with many possessing a heart that pumps blood throughout their bodies, supplying oxygen and nutrients to their cells. - Skin cells: Animals have skin cells that form a protective barrier shielding the body from external harm and assisting in the regulation of body temperature and moisture. - H2O: Animals, like all living organisms, require water (H2O) to maintain their vital life processes. Water is essential for numerous cellular functions and biochemical reactions. - The body's largest organ: Animals have various organs, and the largest is usually the skin, which serves to protect, regulate, and maintain homeostasis within the organism. - Organic matter: Animals are composed of organic matter, including carbon-based molecules that constitute their cells and tissues. - Characteristics: Animals possess many distinct characteristics and features, which are typically linked to their evolutionary adaptations and ecological niche. - Chemical energy: Animals do not produce their own chemical energy through photosynthesis like plants do. However, they obtain chemical energy from consumed food, which is then utilized for various bodily functions. In summary, animals lack the green pigment chlorophyll, as they do not contain chloroplasts. This pigment is essential for plants in the process of photosynthesis, which is how plants produce chemical energy. Animals, on the other hand, obtain their energy and nutrients through consuming plants or other animals, not through photosynthesis.
