Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common? cooking an egg an antacid tablet reacting with water Solution: Step 1: Think about each change. Cooking an egg is a chemical change. The heat causes the matter in the egg to change. Cooked egg and raw egg are different types of matter. An antacid tablet reacting with water is a chemical change. When the tablet touches water, the type of matter in the tablet changes and carbon dioxide gas is released. This gas makes the water fizz. 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. Cooking is caused by heating. But an antacid tablet reacting with water is not. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

Question: [QUESTION]Which of these organisms contains matter that was once part of the bilberry? 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 bilberry. There are two arrows pointing to the collared lemming. One arrow starts from the bear sedge, and the other arrow starts from the lichen. Neither the bear sedge nor the lichen has an arrow pointing to it. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the bilberry to the collared lemming.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Jasmine's phenotype for the fur color trait? Solution: Jasmine's genotype for the fur color gene is ff. Jasmine's genotype of ff has only f alleles. The f allele is for white fur. So, Jasmine's phenotype for the fur color trait must be white fur. To check this answer, consider whether Jasmine's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for white fur (f) is recessive to the allele for orange fur (F). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. Jasmine's genotype of ff has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Jasmine's phenotype for the fur color trait must be white fur.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Elijah's phenotype for the Thomsen disease trait? Solution: Elijah's genotype for the Thomsen disease gene is mm. Elijah's genotype of mm has only m alleles. The m allele is for not having Thomsen disease. So, Elijah's phenotype for the Thomsen disease trait must be not having Thomsen disease. To check this answer, consider whether Elijah's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for having Thomsen disease (M) is dominant over the allele for not having Thomsen disease (m). This means M is a dominant allele, and m is a recessive allele. Elijah's genotype of mm has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Elijah's phenotype for the Thomsen disease trait must be not having Thomsen disease.

TheMrguiller/ScienceQA
Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is this fly's phenotype for the wing type trait? Solution: The fruit fly's genotype for the wing type gene is nn. The fruit fly's genotype of nn has only n alleles. The n allele is for vestigial wings. So, the fruit fly's phenotype for the wing type trait must be vestigial wings. To check this answer, consider whether the fruit fly's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for normal wings (N) is dominant over the allele for vestigial wings (n). This means N is a dominant allele, and n is a recessive allele. The fruit fly's genotype of nn 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 fruit fly's phenotype for the wing type trait must be vestigial wings.

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the sentence. In this chemical reaction, water is a (). Solution: Read the underlined text carefully. Look for information about what happens to water in this chemical reaction. Hydrogen peroxide, a household disinfectant, breaks down into water and oxygen gas over time. Light speeds up this process, so hydrogen peroxide is typically stored in a dark-colored bottle. The bottle's dark coloring blocks light and makes the hydrogen peroxide last longer. The underlined text tells you that hydrogen forms when hydrogen peroxide breaks down. Because water is produced by this chemical reaction, water is a product.

Question: [QUESTION]Which animal's limbs are also adapted for gliding? Solution: Look at the picture of the sugar glider. The sugar glider can spread its patagium like a wing. This helps it glide through the air from the higher branches of one tree to the lower branches of another tree. Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation. The northern flying squirrel has a patagium stretched between its arms and legs. Its limbs are adapted for gliding. The ring-tailed lemur has long limbs but no patagium. Its limbs are not adapted for gliding. The ring-tailed lemur uses its limbs to run and climb.

Question: [QUESTION]Which statement best describes the average monthly precipitation in Atlanta? Solution: To describe the average precipitation trends in Atlanta, look at the graph. Choice "Feb" is incorrect. Choice "Mar" is incorrect. Choice "Oct" is incorrect. Choice "Precipitation does not change much from month to month in Atlanta." is incorrect. The average monthly precipitation changes only slightly throughout the year. Choice "February is wetter than March." is incorrect. Wetter months have a higher average precipitation than drier months. February has a slightly lower average monthly precipitation than March. So, February is not wetter than March. Choice "October has the highest average precipitation." is incorrect. Most other months have a slightly higher average precipitation than October.

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 1 attract. The magnets in Pair 2 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 smaller distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is greater. There is a smaller distance between the magnets in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

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 8 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 5 solute particles on each side of the membrane. There were 3 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]Based on this information, what is Sandy's phenotype for the tail spots trait? Solution: Sandy's genotype for the tail spots gene is ii. Sandy's genotype of ii has only i alleles. The i allele is for an unspotted tail. So, Sandy's phenotype for the tail spots trait must be an unspotted tail. To check this answer, consider whether Sandy's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a spotted tail (I) is dominant over the allele for an unspotted tail (i). This means I is a dominant allele, and i is a recessive allele. Sandy's genotype of ii has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Sandy's phenotype for the tail spots trait must be an unspotted tail.
