Question 1: Why does a chameleon change its color?

Contrary to popular belief, chameleons primarily change their color to regulate their temperatures or to express their mood, and not primarily for camouflage. Different color tints reflect or absorb different amounts of light and heat, hence the color change can help in temperature regulation.


Question 2: Why did Pokémon become famous worldwide?

Pokémon, developed by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures, became famous worldwide largely due to the phenomenal success of its strategic video games which introduced a whole new concept of 'collecting' virtual creatures, trading cards that filled the playgrounds, and the wildly popular animated TV show.


Question 3: If a substance has a pH level below 7, it is considered to be what?

The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. It ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic.


Question 4: The NASDAQ Stock Market is primarily associated with which kind of companies?

Although the NASDAQ Stock Market includes companies from various sectors, it is best known for being a high tech market, including technology and internet-based companies. Some of the largest tech companies, like Apple, Microsoft and Amazon, are traded on NASDAQ.
