Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common? cooking a pancake rust forming on a bicycle frame Solution: Step 1: Think about each change. Cooking a pancake is a chemical change. Pancakes are made from pancake batter. A cooked pancake is a different type of matter than pancake batter. Pancake batter is wet and slippery. Cooked pancakes are fluffy and can be good to eat! Rust forming on a bicycle frame is a chemical change. Oxygen in the air reacts with iron in the bicycle frame. The outside of the frame turns into a different type of matter called rust. Rust is reddish-brown and falls apart easily. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. They are not physical changes. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. The type of matter before and after each change is different. Both are caused by heating. Cooking is caused by heating. But rust forming on a bicycle frame is not. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

If you pour caramel sauce into a container, the caramel sauce will take the shape of that container. But the caramel sauce will still take up the same amount of space. Coffee is a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you pour coffee into a different container, the coffee will take the shape of that container. But the coffee will still take up the same amount of space. A ring is a solid. A solid has a size and shape of its own. A ring keeps its shape, even when you take it off your finger. The air from a hair dryer is a gas. A gas expands to fill a space. A hair dryer uses a fan to blow warm air out. When the air leaves the hair dryer, the air expands to fill a much large space.

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common? water evaporating from a puddle rain forming in a cloud Solution: Step 1: Think about each change. Water evaporating from a puddle is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. The liquid changes into a gas, but a different type of matter is not formed. Rain forming in a cloud is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. Water vapor in the air condenses into tiny droplets of liquid water. These droplets make up a cloud. When there is enough water in the air, the droplets will fall as rain. 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. Water evaporating is caused by heating. But rain forming in a cloud is not. Both are caused by cooling. Rain begins to form when water vapor in the air becomes liquid water. This is caused by cooling. But water evaporating from a puddle is not.

Question: [QUESTION]Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true? Solution: The magnets in Pair 2 attract. The magnets in Pair 1 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The smaller the magnets, the smaller the magnitude of the magnetic force between them. Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with terminal flowers to offspring with axial flowers? Choose the most likely ratio. Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with terminal flowers or axial flowers, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the flower position trait. The question tells you that the F allele, which is for axial flowers, is dominant over the f allele, which is for terminal flowers. Terminal flowers is the recessive allele's version of the flower position trait. A pea plant with the recessive version of the flower position trait must have only recessive alleles for the flower position gene. So, offspring with terminal flowers must have the genotype ff. There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype ff. Axial flowers is the dominant allele's version of the flower position trait. A pea plant with the dominant version of the flower position trait must have at least one dominant allele for the flower position gene. So, offspring with axial flowers must have the genotype FF or Ff. All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype FF or Ff. So, the expected ratio of offspring with terminal flowers to offspring with axial flowers is 0:4. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will never produce offspring with terminal flowers. Instead, this cross is expected to always produce offspring with axial flowers.

Question: [QUESTION]Which animal's mouth is also adapted for gnawing? Solution: Look at the picture of the Damara mole rat. The Damara mole rat has large front teeth. Its mouth is adapted for gnawing. The large front teeth can help the Damara mole rat break off pieces of food that it can swallow. Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation. The nutria has large front teeth. Its mouth is adapted for gnawing. The aardvark has a long tube-shaped mouth and a few, small teeth. Its mouth is not adapted for gnawing. The aardvark uses its mouth to get insects out of holes and burrows.
