Question: [QUESTION]Which text uses the word can in its traditional sense? Solution: The first text uses can in its traditional sense: to have the ability to. As they observed the animals on the open grassland, the wildlife photographer said to Kevin, "Did you know that cheetahs can run as fast as seventy-five miles per hour?" The second text uses can in its nontraditional sense: to have permission to. As they observed the cheetahs on the open grassland, the wildlife photographer said to Kevin, "You can borrow my camera if you want." Most style guides recommend to use the traditional sense of the word can because it is considered more standard.

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common? making paper from wood roasting a marshmallow over a campfire Solution: Step 1: Think about each change. Making paper from wood is a chemical change. Paper is made by mixing tiny pieces of wood with special chemicals. The wood reacts with the chemicals to form pulp. Wood and pulp are different types of matter. Roasting a marshmallow is a chemical change. The type of matter on the outside of the marshmallow changes. As a marshmallow is roasted, it turns brown and crispy. 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. Roasting is caused by heating. But making paper from wood is not. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

Question: [QUESTION]Select the chemical formula for this molecule. Solution: H is the symbol for hydrogen. S is the symbol for sulfur. This ball-and-stick model shows a molecule with two hydrogen atoms and one sulfur atom. The chemical formula will contain the symbols H and S. There are two hydrogen atoms, so H will have a subscript of 2. There is one sulfur atom, so S will not have a subscript. The correct formula is H2 S. The diagram below shows how each part of the chemical formula matches with each part of the model above.

Question: [QUESTION]Which of the following organisms is the primary consumer in this food web? Solution: Primary consumers eat producers. So, in a food web, primary consumers have arrows pointing to them from producers. The phytoplankton does not have any arrows pointing to it. So, the phytoplankton is not a primary consumer. The plainfin midshipman has an arrow pointing to it from the phytoplankton. The phytoplankton is a producer, so the plainfin midshipman is a primary consumer. The sea otter has an arrow pointing to it from the sea urchin. The sea urchin is not a producer. So, the sea otter is not a primary consumer. The kelp does not have any arrows pointing to it. So, the kelp is not a primary consumer. The kelp bass has an arrow pointing to it from the kelp. The kelp is a producer, so the kelp bass is a primary consumer.

Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same genus as the great egret. Solution: A great egret's scientific name is Ardea alba. The first word of its scientific name is Ardea. Ardea purpurea is in the genus Ardea. The first word of its scientific name is Ardea. So, Ardea purpurea and Ardea alba are in the same genus. Tyto alba and Ardea alba are not in the same genus. These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Tyto alba and Ardea alba have the same species name within their genus, alba. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Tyto alba is in the genus Tyto, and Ardea alba is in the genus Ardea. Syngnathoides biaculeatus is in the genus Syngnathoides. The first word of its scientific name is Syngnathoides. So, Syngnathoides biaculeatus and Ardea alba are not in the same genus.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Boba's phenotype for the fur length trait? Solution: Boba's genotype for the fur length gene is FF. Boba's genotype of FF has only F allelles. The F allele is for short fur. So, Boba's phenotype for the fur length trait must be short fur. To check this answer, consider whether Boba's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for long fur (f) is recessive to the allele for short fur (F). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. Boba's genotype of FF has two dominant alleles. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, Boba's phenotype for the fur length trait must be short fur.

Question: [QUESTION]Which logical fallacy is used in the text? I pulled Billy off the project because his work was sloppy. While we're at it, let's pull Maggie off the project, too. I haven't reviewed her work, but she's friends with Billy, so we cannot rely on the quality of her work either. Solution: The text argues that Maggie's work is low quality because her friend's work is low quality. However, the work of Maggie's friend does not necessarily reflect the quality of Maggie's work. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as guilt by association.

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common? a penny tarnishing compost rotting Solution: Step 1: Think about each change. Metal turning less shiny over time is called tarnishing. A penny tarnishing is a chemical change. When air touches the penny, the surface of the penny changes into a different type of matter. This matter makes the penny dull. Compost forms from the remains of plants and animals, such as vegetable scraps and egg shells. Compost rotting is a chemical change. As the compost rots, it breaks down and turns into a different type of matter. 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.

Question: [QUESTION]Which of these organisms contains matter that was once part of the persimmon tree? 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 persimmon tree.There are two paths matter can take from the persimmon tree to the pine vole: persimmon tree->pine vole. persimmon tree->swallowtail caterpillar->pine vole. There are three paths matter can take from the persimmon tree to the gray fox: persimmon tree->pine vole->gray fox. persimmon tree->swallowtail caterpillar->gray fox. persimmon tree->swallowtail caterpillar->pine vole->gray fox. beaver. The only arrow pointing to the beaver starts from the silver maple. The silver maple does not have an arrow pointing to it. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the persimmon tree to the beaver.. There is one path matter can take from the persimmon tree to the swallowtail caterpillar: persimmon tree->swallowtail caterpillar. There are three paths matter can take from the persimmon tree to the bobcat: persimmon tree->pine vole->gray fox->bobcat. persimmon tree->swallowtail caterpillar->gray fox->bobcat. persimmon tree->swallowtail caterpillar->pine vole->gray fox->bobcat.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Jupiter's phenotype for the coat pattern trait? Solution: Jupiter's genotype for the coat pattern gene is AA. Jupiter's genotype of AA has only A allelles. The A allele is for a black coat. So, Jupiter's phenotype for the coat pattern trait must be a black coat. To check this answer, consider whether Jupiter's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a spotted coat (a) is recessive to the allele for a black coat (A). This means A is a dominant allele, and a is a recessive allele. Jupiter's genotype of AA has two dominant alleles.
