Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common?
chicken cooking in an oven
water evaporating from a puddle
Solution: Step 1: Think about each change.
Cooking chicken is a chemical change. The heat causes the matter in the chicken to change. Cooked chicken and raw chicken are different types of matter.
Water evaporating from a puddle is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. The liquid changes into a gas, but a different type of matter is not formed.
Step 2: Look at each answer choice.
Both are only physical changes.
Water evaporating is a physical change. But cooking chicken is not.
Both are chemical changes.
Cooking chicken is a chemical change. But water evaporating from a puddle is not.
Both are caused by heating.
Both changes are caused by heating.
Both are caused by cooling.
Neither change is caused by cooling.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Basil's phenotype for the eye color trait?
Solution: Basil's genotype for the eye color gene is ee. Basil's genotype of ee has only e alleles. The e allele is for red eyes. So, Basil's phenotype for the eye color trait must be red eyes.
To check this answer, consider whether Basil's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for brown eyes (E) is dominant over the allele for red eyes (e). This means E is a dominant allele, and e is a recessive allele.
Basil's genotype of ee has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Basil's phenotype for the eye color trait must be red eyes.

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.
Both magnet sizes and distance affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. The sizes of the magnets in Pair 1 are the same as in Pair 2. The distance between the magnets is also the same.
So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.

Question: [QUESTION]Assume all other forces on the rope are balanced. Which statement describes the forces on the rope?
Solution: To determine if there is a net force on the rope, look at the forces:
Kurt is pulling the rope toward himself with a force of 230 N.
Gary is pulling the rope toward himself with a force of 300 N.
The forces are in opposite directions, and the forces have different magnitudes: 230 N and 300 N. This means that the forces are unbalanced, so there is a net force on the rope.

Question: [QUESTION]What are the small rooms inside the bees' nest made of?
Solution: Look at the text in bold below. It tells you what the small rooms inside the bees' nest are made of.
Like many animals, bees live in nests. These nests, which are sometimes called hives, each have one opening where all bees enter and leave. Inside the nest are sheets of tiny rooms made of wax, called honeycombs. The tiny rooms are shaped like hexagons. That means they have six sides. These hexagons fit together without wasting space, and their shape helps make the nest stronger.

The mushroom has arrows pointing to it, so it is not a producer.
The bear sedge does not have any arrows pointing to it. So, the bear sedge is a producer.
The lichen does not have an arrow pointing to it. So, the lichen is a producer.
