Question: [QUESTION]Which of these organisms contains matter that was once part of the bear sedge? Solution: Use the arrows to follow how matter moves through this food web. For each answer choice, try to find a path of arrows that starts from the bear sedge. The only arrow pointing to the barren-ground caribou starts from the lichen. No arrow points to the lichen. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the bear sedge to the barren-ground caribou. No arrow points to the bilberry. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the bear sedge to the bilberry.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the source of the allusion in the sentence below? Fans debated whether their team would rise from the ashes. Solution: The source of the allusion rise from the ashes is Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, a mythical bird called the phoenix lives for hundreds of years before bursting into flames at its death. However, it soon rises from its own ashes and is reborn. The allusion rise from the ashes means to come back after destruction or defeat.

Question: [QUESTION]Compare the motion of three ducks. Which duck was moving at the highest speed? Solution: Look at the distance each duck moved and the time it took to move that distance. The direction each duck moved does not affect its speed. Notice that each duck moved for 5 hours. The duck that moved 495 kilometers moved the farthest distance in that time. So, that duck must have moved at the highest speed.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on the text, how does a sloth's fur help protect it? Solution: Look at the text in bold below. It tells you two ways a sloth's fur helps protect it. For example, sloths' long fur grows in the opposite direction from that of most animals. Most animals' fur grows downward, which helps rainwater run down off the animal. Sloths' fur, however, grows upward. When a sloth is hanging upside down, rainwater is still directed off its body. This helps the sloth dry off more quickly. Sloth fur has another special purpose. Each strand of fur has grooves that collect algae. The algae give the sloth a greenish color, which helps it blend in with its leafy environment. Along with sloths' slow movement, this disguise makes sloths hard for predators to spot.

Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same genus as the axolotl. Solution: An axolotl's scientific name is Ambystoma mexicanum. The first word of its scientific name is Ambystoma. Python reticulatus is in the genus Python. The first word of its scientific name is Python. So, Python reticulatus and Ambystoma mexicanum are not in the same genus. Ambystoma opacum is in the genus Ambystoma. The first word of its scientific name is Ambystoma. So, Ambystoma opacum and Ambystoma mexicanum are in the same genus. 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.

Question: [QUESTION]Select the fish. Solution: A western toad is an amphibian. It has moist skin and begins its life in water. Toads do not have teeth! They swallow their food whole. A whale shark is a fish. It lives underwater. It has fins, not limbs. Whale sharks are the largest fish in the world! Adult whale sharks can weigh over 21 tons—as much as seven elephants! A spotted dolphin is a mammal. It has hair and feeds its young milk. Dolphins may look like sharks or other fish, but they are mammals! When a baby dolphin is born, it has hair around its jaw. This hair falls out as the dolphin grows. A Hermann's tortoise is a reptile. It has scaly, waterproof skin. A tortoise's shell protects it from predators. When a tortoise feels threatened, it can pull its head and legs inside its shell.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the source of the allusion in the sentence below? Jacob described the situation he was facing with his boss as a catch-22. Solution: The source of the allusion catch-22 is literature. Joseph Heller coined the term "catch-22" in his 1961 novel of the same name. In the novel, if an army pilot wants to avoid dangerous missions, he must be deemed mentally unfit; however, his desire to stay safe proves his sanity, so he can never be excused from a mission. Heller called this sort of predicament or dilemma a catch-22. The allusion catch-22 means a no-win situation.

Question: [QUESTION]Which animal's feet are also adapted to walk on snow and ice? Solution: Look at the picture of the snow leopard. The snow leopard has furry feet with large pads. Its feet are adapted to walk on snow and ice. The fur can help keep the snow leopard's feet warm. The large pads help spread its weight over a larger area. This allows it to walk on ice without slipping and to walk on snow without sinking in too deep. Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation. The brown bear has furry feet with large pads. Its feet are adapted to walk on snow and ice. The horse has hooves. Its feet are not adapted to walk on snow and ice. The horse uses its feet to walk and run on surfaces covered by soil.

Question: [QUESTION]Assume all other forces on Mackenzie are balanced. Which statement describes the forces on Mackenzie? Solution: To determine if there is a net force on Mackenzie, look at the forces: Earth's gravity is pulling Mackenzie down with a force of 600 N. The seat of the cart is pushing Mackenzie up with a force of 1,200 N. The forces are in opposite directions, and the forces have different magnitudes: 600 N and 1,200 N. This means that the forces are unbalanced, so there is a net force on Mackenzie.

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 1 attract. The magnets in Pair 2 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 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.
