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.

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the statement. Assume that the motorcycle's mass did not change.
The gravitational potential energy stored between the motorcycle and Earth () as Josiah rode up the hill.
Solution: Think about how the distance between the motorcycle and the center of Earth changed.
The top of the hill is higher than the bottom of the hill. As Josiah rode toward the top of the hill, the distance between the motorcycle and the center of Earth increased. So, the gravitational potential energy stored between the motorcycle and Earth increased as Josiah rode up the hill.

Question: [QUESTION]Which type of relationship is formed when European mistletoe grows on a linden tree?
Solution: When European mistletoe grows on a linden tree, the mistletoe gets nutrients and water that it needs to grow and survive. So, the mistletoe benefits from its relationship with the tree.
The tree grows more slowly and makes fewer seeds when the mistletoe grows on it. So, the tree is harmed by its relationship with the mistletoe.
Since the mistletoe benefits and the tree is harmed, a parasitic relationship is formed when European mistletoe grows on a linden tree.

Question: [QUESTION]What does the allusion in this text suggest?
With the gutters clogged and water rising in the streets, Bonnie, who was watching the storm from her window, commented, "We're going to need an ark to get out of here."
Solution: The text uses an allusion, a brief reference to someone or something well known.
The allusion to an ark suggests that Bonnie thinks the storm will cause major flooding. In the Bible, it rains for forty days and forty nights; Noah, his family, and animals of every species survive the great flood in an ark that he builds.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is this plant's phenotype for the leaf texture trait?
Solution: The summer squash plant's genotype for the leaf texture gene is ll. The summer squash plant's genotype of ll has only l alleles. The l allele is for smooth leaves. So, the summer squash plant's phenotype for the leaf texture trait must be smooth leaves.
To check this answer, consider whether the summer squash plant's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for smooth leaves (l) is recessive to the allele for fuzzy leaves (L). This means L is a dominant allele, and l is a recessive allele.
The summer squash plant's genotype of ll 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 summer squash plant's phenotype for the leaf texture trait must be smooth leaves.

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common?
breaking a ceramic plate
mixing chocolate syrup into milk
Solution: Step 1: Think about each change.
Breaking a ceramic plate is a physical change. The plate gets broken into pieces. But each piece is still made of the same type of matter.
Mixing chocolate syrup into milk is a physical change. The chocolate syrup and milk make a mixture. Making a mixture does not form a different type of matter.
Step 2: Look at each answer choice.
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.
Both are caused by cooling.
Neither change is caused by cooling.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is this plant's phenotype for the thorns trait?
Solution: The rose plant's genotype for the thorns gene is rr. The rose plant's genotype of rr has only r alleles. The r allele is for not having thorns. So, the rose plant's phenotype for the thorns trait must be not having thorns.
To check this answer, consider whether the rose plant's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for not having thorns (r) is recessive to the allele for having thorns (R). This means R is a dominant allele, and r is a recessive allele.
The rose plant's genotype of rr 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 rose plant's phenotype for the thorns trait must be not having thorns.

Question: [QUESTION]Which logical fallacy is used in the text?
When I was in Seattle for a week last January, it didn't rain even once. Seattle's reputation for being rainy is obviously false.
Solution: The text argues that a week without rain is evidence that Seattle isn't a rainy city. However, the experience of one week doesn't necessarily reflect longer trends in a place's climate. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as a hasty generalization.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Skeeter's phenotype for the body hair trait?
Solution: Skeeter's genotype for the body hair gene is bb. Skeeter's genotype of bb has only b alleles. The b allele is for a hairless body. So, Skeeter's phenotype for the body hair trait must be a hairless body.
To check this answer, consider whether Skeeter's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a hairless body (b) is recessive to the allele for a hairy body (B). This means B is a dominant allele, and b is a recessive allele.
Skeeter's genotype of bb has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Skeeter's phenotype for the body hair trait must be a hairless body.

Question: [QUESTION]Which text uses the word literally in its traditional sense?
Solution: The first text uses literally in its traditional sense: in a factual, non-exaggerated way.
The curry that the chef prepared was so spicy that Logan literally had to drink three glasses of milk to ease the pain.
The second text uses literally in its nontraditional sense: nearly or in effect (often exaggerated). Logan's mouth may be in pain, but it is not actually on fire.
The curry that the chef prepared was so spicy that Logan's mouth was literally on fire by the time he finished his meal.
Most style guides recommend to avoid using the nontraditional sense of the word literally because it is generally considered incorrect.

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.
Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The smaller the magnets, the smaller the magnitude of the magnetic force between them.
Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the sentence.
In this chemical reaction, hydrogen peroxide is a ().
Solution: Read the underlined text carefully. Look for information about what happens to hydrogen peroxide 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 when hydrogen peroxide breaks down, hydrogen and oxygen are formed. When hydrogen peroxide reacts, or goes through a chemical change, its atoms are rearranged to form hydrogen and oxygen. Because hydrogen peroxide reacts in this chemical reaction, hydrogen peroxide is a reactant.
