Question: [QUESTION]Earth's organisms rely on the atmosphere for which of the following?
Solution: Read the text carefully. The underlined text below shows information about each answer choice.
Earth is surrounded by a layer of gases called the atmosphere. The gases that make up the atmosphere sustain life on Earth. Living organisms take in and release some of these gases. Gases in the atmosphere also help insulate Earth from extreme temperatures and block some harmful forms of sunlight.
Earth's atmosphere contains many different gases, including oxygen and carbon dioxide. These gases are both taken in and released by living organisms. Animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Plants use carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis.
Some of the gases that make up the atmosphere also insulate Earth, helping to maintain its stable temperatures.
While many gases interact with sunlight, Earth's atmosphere does not provide sunlight. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]Read the following excerpt from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her grammar and mechanics?
People around the world have always encountered frogs and toads in various bodies of water. Unfortunately, pollution and disease is killing many of the world's frogs. For example, a fungus may be responsible for the extinction of several species in Australia and has been found in forty-four species there. Other fungi and viruses have eliminated frogs in the United States as well. The effect of pollutants are also severe. Substances like fertilizers and heavy metals are responsible for the deaths of many frogs in Europe and Canada.
Solution: The writer could best improve his or her grammar and mechanics by fixing subject-verb agreement errors.
For example, the writer could replace the underlined words with the correct verb forms: pollution and disease kill and the effect of pollution is.

Hystrix cristata and Goura cristata are not in the same genus.
These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Hystrix cristata and Goura cristata have the same species name within their genus, cristata. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Hystrix cristata is in the genus Hystrix, and Goura cristata is in the genus Goura.
Lonicera japonica is in the genus Lonicera. The first word of its scientific name is Lonicera. So, Lonicera japonica and Goura cristata are not in the same genus.

Question: [QUESTION]Which figure of speech is used in this text?
Rebecca's Bistro used to be a great place to go for a delicious and carefully prepared dinner, but nobody goes there anymore: it's too crowded.
Solution: The text uses a paradox, a statement that might at first appear to be contradictory, but that may in fact contain some truth.
Nobody goes there anymore: it's too crowded at first appears to be contradictory, because if no one goes to the restaurant, then the restaurant should be empty, not crowded. However, it contains some truth: if a restaurant is frequently perceived to be too crowded, many people will no longer want to go there. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]After the Akkadian Empire ended, many cities and empires tried to control Mesopotamia. Around the 1790s BCE, which empire started controlling Mesopotamia?
Solution: Look at the table.
The abbreviation "ca." stands for the Latin word, circa. Circa means "about." It indicates when a date is estimated. So, around 1792 BCE, the Babylonian Empire started controlling Mesopotamia.

Seattle, Washington, has over 200 cloudy days every year.
Solution: Read the text carefully.
Seattle, Washington, has over 200 cloudy days every year.
This passage tells you about the usual pattern of clouds in Seattle. It does not describe what the weather is like on a particular day. So, this passage describes the climate. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is this fish's phenotype for the body color trait?
Solution: The Nile tilapia fish's genotype for the body color gene is bb. The Nile tilapia fish's genotype of bb has only b alleles. The b allele is for a pink body. So, the Nile tilapia fish's phenotype for the body color trait must be a pink body.
To check this answer, consider whether the Nile tilapia fish's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a pink body (b) is recessive to the allele for a greenish-brown body (B). This means B is a dominant allele, and b is a recessive allele.
The Nile tilapia fish's genotype of bb 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 Nile tilapia fish's phenotype for the body color trait must be a pink body. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]What information supports the conclusion that Jenna inherited this trait?

For each object, decide if it has that property.
A rough object feels scratchy when you touch it. All four objects are rough.
A flexible object can be folded or bent without breaking easily. The potato sack and the sandpaper are flexible, but the sidewalk and the log are not.
A hard object does not change shape when pressed or squeezed. The sidewalk and the log are hard, but the potato sack is not.
The property that all four objects have in common is rough. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Will these magnets attract or repel each other?
Solution: Will these magnets attract or repel? To find out, look at which poles are closest to each other.
The north pole of one magnet is closest to the north pole of the other magnet. Poles that are the same repel. So, these magnets will repel each other. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common?
acid rain weathering a marble statue
milk going sour
Solution: Step 1: Think about each change.
Acid rain weathering a marble statue is a chemical change. The acid rain reacts with the outside of the statue and breaks it down into a different type of matter. This new matter is then washed away by the rain. Acid rain is a type of pollution. It forms when smoke from automobiles and factories mixes with water in clouds.
Acid rain is a type of pollution. It forms when automobiles and factories release smoke containing sulfur or nitrogen. Some of these chemicals react with water in the atmosphere. The reaction forms droplets of water that can fall back to the ground as acid rain.
Milk going sour is a chemical change. The type of matter in the milk slowly changes. The new matter that is formed gives the milk its sour taste.
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.
Neither change is caused by heating.
Both are caused by cooling.
Neither change is caused by cooling. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
