Question: [QUESTION]Is the following statement about our solar system true or false?
Earth's volume is more than ten times as great as Mars's volume.
Solution: To determine if this statement is true, calculate the value of ten times the volume of Mars.
Then compare the result to the volume of Earth. The volume of Earth is 1.08 x 10^12 km^3, which is less than 1.63 x 10^12 km^3. So, Earth's volume is less than ten times as great as Mars's volume.

Question: [QUESTION]Is the student text plagiarized?
Solution: The student text is plagiarized. Although it uses quotation marks around the source's exact words, it fails to cite the source.
Ruts from wagon wheels are still visible in the Oregon Trail today, which is not surprising given that "between 1841 and 1866 about 350,000 people used what had become the most famous wagon route across America."
Source: Bob Brooke, "Oregon Trail: Wagon Tracks West." Published in Wild West Apr. 2000.
Between 1841 and 1866 about 350,000 people used what had become the most famous wagon route across America. It is no wonder that, in places, ruts along the Oregon Trail are still visible today.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring that do not have Bekko patterning to offspring that have Bekko patterning? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring that do or do not have Bekko patterning, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the Bekko patterning trait. The question tells you that the B allele, which is for having Bekko patterning, is dominant over the b allele, which is for not having Bekko patterning.
Not having Bekko patterning is the recessive allele's version of the Bekko patterning trait. A koi fish with the recessive version of the Bekko patterning trait must have only recessive alleles for the Bekko patterning gene. So, offspring that do not have Bekko patterning must have the genotype bb.
All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype bb.
Having Bekko patterning is the dominant allele's version of the Bekko patterning trait. A koi fish with the dominant version of the Bekko patterning trait must have at least one dominant allele for the Bekko patterning gene. So, offspring that have Bekko patterning must have the genotype BB or Bb.
There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype BB or Bb.
So, the expected ratio of offspring that do not have Bekko patterning to offspring that have Bekko patterning is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring that do not have Bekko patterning. This cross is expected to never produce offspring that have Bekko patterning.

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the statement.
Beryllium is ().
Solution: You can tell whether beryllium is an elementary substance or a compound by counting the number of atomic symbols in its chemical formula. An atomic symbol consists of either one capital letter or a capital letter followed by one or two lowercase letters.
The chemical formula for beryllium contains one atomic symbol: Be. So, the formula tells you that beryllium is composed of only one chemical element.
Since beryllium is composed of only one chemical element, beryllium is an elementary substance.

Both are only physical changes.
Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created.
Both are chemical changes.
Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes.
Both are caused by heating.
Neither change is caused by heating.

Question: [QUESTION]Which of the following organisms is the omnivore in this food web?
Solution: Omnivores are consumers that eat both producers and other consumers. So, an omnivore has arrows pointing to it from at least one producer and at least one consumer.
The grizzly bear has an arrow pointing to it from the bilberry, which is a producer. The grizzly bear also has an arrow pointing to it from the barren-ground caribou, which is a consumer. The grizzly bear eats a producer and a consumer, so it is an omnivore.
The bear sedge does not have any arrows pointing to it. So, the bear sedge is not an omnivore.
The parasitic jaeger has only one arrow pointing to it. This arrow starts from the brown lemming, which is a consumer. So, the parasitic jaeger is a consumer but not an omnivore.
The Arctic fox has an arrow pointing to it from the bilberry, which is a producer. The Arctic fox also has an arrow pointing to it from the brown lemming, which is a consumer. The Arctic fox eats a producer and a consumer, so it is an omnivore.

Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same genus as the agile wallaby.
Solution: An agile wallaby's scientific name is Macropus agilis. The first word of its scientific name is Macropus.
Macropus giganteus is in the genus Macropus. The first word of its scientific name is Macropus. So, Macropus giganteus and Macropus agilis are in the same genus.
Lacerta agilis and Macropus agilis are not in the same genus.
These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Lacerta agilis and Macropus agilis have the same species name within their genus, agilis. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Lacerta agilis is in the genus Lacerta, and Macropus agilis is in the genus Macropus.
Trametes versicolor is in the genus Trametes. The first word of its scientific name is Trametes. So, Trametes versicolor and Macropus agilis are not in the same genus.

Question: [QUESTION]Which type of relationship is formed when protists live in a termite's gut?
Solution: When protists live in a termite's gut, they get nutrients and energy from the wood the termite eats. So, the protists benefit from their relationship with the termite.
The termite is not able to use wood as food without the protists. So, the termite also benefits from its relationship with the protists.
