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

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.

Question: [QUESTION]Which month is the coolest on average in Detroit? Solution: To describe the average temperature trends in Detroit, look at the graph. Choice "Feb" is incorrect. Choice "Mar" is incorrect. Choice "Apr" is incorrect. Choice "Nov" is incorrect. Choice "Dec" is incorrect. Choice "Jan" is incorrect. The average temperatures in January and February are between 25°F and 30°F. These months have the lowest average temperatures of all of the months. So, they are the coolest months on average.

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. Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force. When there is a greater distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is smaller. There is a greater distance between the magnets in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.
