Its beak is adapted to filter through mud. The northern pintail gathers muddy water in its beak. Then, it pushes the water out through gaps along the sides of the beak. Bits of food, such as plant roots, are left behind inside the pintail's beak. Now look at each bird. Figure out which bird has a similar adaptation. The Canada goose has a wide, flat beak. Its beak is adapted to filter through mud. The Alexandrine parakeet has a thick hooked beak. Its beak is not adapted to filter through mud. The Alexandrine parakeet uses its beak to crack open large, hard nuts.

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 6 solute particles on the left side of the membrane and 2 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 were 2 more solute particles 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]In this food web, which organism contains matter that eventually moves to the sea cucumber? 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 sea cucumber.There is one path matter can take from the kelp to the sea cucumber: kelp->sea urchin->sea otter->orca->sea cucumber. kelp bass. The only arrow pointing from the kelp bass leads to the bat star. No arrows point from the bat star to any other organisms. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the kelp bass to the sea cucumber.. bat star. No arrows point from the bat star to any other organisms. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the bat star to the sea cucumber.. There are two paths matter can take from the phytoplankton to the sea cucumber: phytoplankton->plainfin midshipman->sea cucumber. phytoplankton->zooplankton->plainfin midshipman->sea cucumber.

Question: [QUESTION]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature? Solution: Each particle in the two samples has the same mass, and the particles in both samples have the same average speed. So, the particles in both samples have the same average kinetic energy. Because the particles in both samples have the same average kinetic energy, the samples must have the same temperature.
