Is the following statement about our solar system true or false? Jupiter's volume is more than ten times as large as Saturn's volume.
[ "true", "false" ]
B
To determine if this statement is true, calculate the value of ten times the volume of Saturn. Then compare the result to the volume of Jupiter. The volume of Jupiter is 1.43 x 10^15 km^3, which is less than 8.27 x 10^15 km^3. So, Jupiter's volume is less than ten times as large as Saturn's volume.

An axolotl's scientific name is Ambystoma mexicanum. The first word of its scientific name is Ambystoma. Tigrisoma mexicanum and Ambystoma mexicanum are not in the same genus. These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Tigrisoma mexicanum and Ambystoma mexicanum have the same species name within their genus, mexicanum. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Tigrisoma mexicanum is in the genus Tigrisoma, and Ambystoma mexicanum is in the genus Ambystoma. Ambystoma texanum is in the genus Ambystoma. The first word of its scientific name is Ambystoma. So, Ambystoma texanum and Ambystoma mexicanum are in the same genus. Hyla versicolor is in the genus Hyla. The first word of its scientific name is Hyla. So, Hyla versicolor and Ambystoma mexicanum are not in the same genus.

What do these two changes have in common? mixing lettuce and salad dressing melting glass
[ "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are chemical changes.", "Both are caused by heating." ]
A
Step 1: Think about each change. Mixing lettuce and salad dressing is a physical change. Together, the salad and dressing make a mixture. But making this mixture does not form a different type of matter. Melting glass is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. The glass changes from solid to liquid. But a different type of matter is not formed. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes. Both are caused by heating. Glass melting is caused by heating. But mixing lettuce and salad dressing is not. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

Based on this information, what is this fly's phenotype for the eye color trait?
[ "brown eyes", "red eyes" ]
A
The fruit fly's genotype for the eye color gene is ee. The fruit fly's genotype of ee has only e alleles. The e allele is for brown eyes. So, the fruit fly's phenotype for the eye color trait must be brown eyes. To check this answer, consider whether the fruit fly's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for red eyes (E) is dominant over the allele for brown eyes (e). This means E is a dominant allele, and e is a recessive allele. The fruit fly's genotype of ee has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, the fruit fly's phenotype for the eye color trait must be brown eyes.

Based on this information, what is Marina's phenotype for the tail spots trait?
[ "a spotted tail", "an unspotted tail" ]
B
Marina's genotype for the tail spots gene is ii. Marina's genotype of ii has only i alleles. The i allele is for an unspotted tail. So, Marina's phenotype for the tail spots trait must be an unspotted tail. To check this answer, consider whether Marina's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a spotted tail (I) is dominant over the allele for an unspotted tail (i). This means I is a dominant allele, and i is a recessive allele. Marina's genotype of ii has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Marina's phenotype for the tail spots trait must be an unspotted tail.

Complete the statement. Assume that the water balloon's mass did not change. The gravitational potential energy stored between the water balloon and Earth () as the water balloon fell toward Jordan.
[ "increased", "stayed the same", "decreased" ]
C
Think about how the distance between the water balloon and the center of Earth changed. Jordan was lower than the balcony. As the water balloon fell toward Jordan, the distance between the water balloon and the center of Earth decreased. So, the gravitational potential energy stored between the water balloon and Earth decreased as the water balloon fell toward Jordan.

Select the elementary substance.
[ "chloromethanol (CH3ClO)", "sulfur dioxide (SO2)", "radon (Rn)" ]
C
Look at the chemical formula for each substance, and count the number of symbols in the formula. Then, decide if the substance is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for sulfur dioxide contains two symbols: S for sulfur and O for oxygen. So, sulfur dioxide is made of two chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, sulfur dioxide is a compound, not an elementary substance. The chemical formula for radon contains one symbol: Rn. So, radon is made of one chemical element. Substances that are made of one chemical element are elementary substances. So, radon is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for chloromethanol contains four symbols: C for carbon, H for hydrogen, Cl for chlorine, and O for oxygen. So, chloromethanol is made of four chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, chloromethanol is a compound, not an elementary substance.

A crystal jellyfish's scientific name is Aequorea victoria. Aurelia aurita does not have the same scientific name as a crystal jellyfish. So, Aequorea victoria and Aurelia aurita are not in the same species. Aequorea victoria has the same scientific name as a crystal jellyfish. So, these organisms are in the same species. Cyanea capillata does not have the same scientific name as a crystal jellyfish. So, Aequorea victoria and Cyanea capillata are not in the same species.

null

Grady gave 2/5 * 20 cubes = <<2/5*20=8>>8 of his red numbered cubes to Gage. If Gage initially had 10 red numbered cubes, his total number of red numbered cubes became 10 cubes + 8 cubes = <<10+8=18>>18 cubes after Grady gave him 8 more. Grady also gave 1/3 * 15 cubes = <<1/3*15=5>>5 blue numbered cubes to Gage. This increased Gage's total number of blue numbered cubes to 12 cubes + 5 cubes = <<12+5=17>>17 cubes The total number of cubes Gage has is now 17 cubes + 18 cubes = <<17+18=35>>35 cubes #### 35

Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
[ "The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1." ]
B
Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The larger the magnets, the greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between them. Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is larger in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.
