Question: [QUESTION]In this food web, which organism contains matter that eventually moves to the parasol fungus?
Solution: Use the arrows to follow how matter moves through this food web. For each answer choice, try to find a path of arrows to the parasol fungus.There are four paths matter can take from the persimmon tree to the parasol fungus: persimmon tree->pine vole->parasol fungus. persimmon tree-> black bear->parasol fungus. persimmon tree->swallowtail caterpillar->pine vole->parasol fungus. persimmon tree->swallowtail caterpillar->black bear->parasol fungus. gray fox. There are two arrows pointing from the gray fox to other organisms. One arrow points to the bobcat. The only arrow pointing from the bobcat leads to the bolete fungus. The other arrow pointing from the gray fox leads to the bolete fungus. No arrows point from the bolete fungus to any other organisms. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the gray fox to the parasol fungus.. There are two paths matter can take from the swallowtail caterpillar to the parasol fungus: swallowtail caterpillar->pine vole->parasol fungus. swallowtail caterpillar->black bear->parasol fungus. There is one path matter can take from the black bear to the parasol fungus: black bear->parasol fungus. There is one path matter can take from the pine vole to the parasol fungus: pine vole->parasol fungus. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
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 larger the magnets, the greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between them.

Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same genus as the garden hyacinth.
Solution: A garden hyacinth's scientific name is Hyacinthus orientalis. The first word of its scientific name is Hyacinthus.
Amphiprion frenatus is in the genus Amphiprion. The first word of its scientific name is Amphiprion. So, Amphiprion frenatus and Hyacinthus orientalis are not in the same genus.
Ovis orientalis and Hyacinthus orientalis are not in the same genus.
These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Ovis orientalis and Hyacinthus orientalis have the same species name within their genus, orientalis. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Ovis orientalis is in the genus Ovis, and Hyacinthus orientalis is in the genus Hyacinthus.
This organism and the garden hyacinth are in the same genus and the same species! Both organisms have the same scientific name, Hyacinthus orientalis. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common?
mixing sand and water
sediment settling to the bottom of a muddy puddle
Solution: Step 1: Think about each change.
Mixing sand and water is a physical change. Adding water makes the sand wet. But both the sand and water are still made of the same type of matter as before.
Loose matter such as sand and dirt is called sediment. Sediment settling to the bottom of a muddy puddle is a physical change.
The sediment sinks, and the water above becomes clearer. This separates the water from the sediment. But separating a mixture does not form a different type of matter.
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.
Neither change is caused by heating.
Both are caused by cooling.
Neither change is caused by cooling. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
