Turn A Textbook Chapter Into Flashcards

You have just read a dense textbook chapter and none of it will survive contact with tomorrow. This turns the text into short, testable flashcards, so revision becomes active recall instead of re-reading the same paragraph for the fourth time.

Read the chapter text pasted below and generate a set of flashcards for active recall revision. Produce between 15 and 25 question-and-answer pairs that cover the key facts, definitions, and cause-and-effect relationships in the passage, avoiding trivial or overly narrow questions. Write each pair as "Q:" followed by "A:" on the next line, ordered from foundational concepts to more detailed ones. Keep answers short, ideally one sentence, so they are genuinely testable rather than mini-essays. Chapter text: {CHAPTER_TEXT}
