Which of the following organisms is the secondary consumer in this food web?

[ "zooplankton", "phytoplankton", "kelp", "plainfin midshipman" ]

D

Secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and primary consumers eat producers. So, in a food web, secondary consumers have arrows pointing to them from primary consumers. Primary consumers have arrows pointing to them from producers. The zooplankton has an arrow pointing to it from the phytoplankton. The phytoplankton is not a primary consumer. So, the zooplankton is not a secondary consumer. The kelp does not have any arrows pointing to it. So, the kelp is not a secondary consumer. The kelp bass has arrows pointing to it from the zooplankton and the plainfin midshipman. The zooplankton and the plainfin midshipman are primary consumers, so the kelp bass is a secondary consumer. The phytoplankton does not have any arrows pointing to it. So, the phytoplankton is not a secondary consumer. The plainfin midshipman has an arrow pointing to it from the zooplankton. The zooplankton is a primary consumer, so the plainfin midshipman is a secondary consumer.

What do these two changes have in common? cracking open a peanut stretching a rubber band

[ "Both are chemical changes.", "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are only physical changes." ]

D

Step 1: Think about each change. Cracking open a peanut is a physical change. The peanut shell breaks and the peanut falls out. Both are still made of the same type of matter. Stretching a rubber band is a physical change. The rubber band gets longer. But it is still made of the same type of matter as before. 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.
