Question: [QUESTION]Which of these organisms contains matter that was once part of the kelp? 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 kelp. There are two arrows pointing to the plainfin midshipman. These start from the phytoplankton and the zooplankton. The only arrow pointing to the zooplankton starts from the phytoplankton. No arrow points to the phytoplankton. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the kelp to the plainfin midshipman. The only arrow pointing to the zooplankton starts from the phytoplankton. No arrow points to the phytoplankton. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the kelp to the zooplankton.There is one path matter can take from the kelp to the orca: kelp->sea urchin->sea otter->orca. There is one path matter can take from the kelp to the sea urchin: kelp->sea urchin.

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the sentence. Silfra formed at a () boundary. Solution: To figure out what type of plate boundary formed Silfra, you need to know how the tectonic plates interacted. To find this out, read the passage carefully. Silfra is a rift valley that runs along part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in Iceland. This picture of Silfra shows an area where large cracks formed as the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate moved away from each other. In this area, the rift cuts through an underwater spring, causing the cracks to fill with crystal-clear water. Because the water is so clear, it is a popular spot for scuba divers. The underlined part of the passage explains that Silfra formed as the two plates moved away from each other, or diverged. So, Silfra formed at a divergent boundary.

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common? an engine using gasoline to power a car melting glass Solution: Step 1: Think about each change. An engine using gasoline to power a car is a chemical change. High temperatures in the engine break the chemical bonds in the molecules of gasoline and release energy. The atoms then link together to form new molecules, such as water, carbon dioxide, and other chemicals. 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. Melting glass is a physical change. But an engine using gasoline to power a car is not. Both are chemical changes. An engine using gasoline to power a car is a chemical change. But melting glass is not. Both are caused by heating. Both changes are caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the text to describe the diagram. Solute particles moved in both directions across the permeable membrane. But more solute particles moved across the membrane (). When there was an equal concentration on both sides, the particles reached equilibrium. Solution: Look at the diagram again. It shows you how the solution changed during the process of diffusion. Before the solute particles reached equilibrium, there were 5 solute particles on the left side of the membrane and 3 solute particles on the right side of the membrane. When the solute particles reached equilibrium, there were 4 solute particles on each side of the membrane. There was 1 more solute particle on the right side of the membrane than before. So, for the solute particles to reach equilibrium, more solute particles must have moved across the membrane to the right than to the left.
