D

Decomposers help break down dead organisms into simpler matter, such as nutrients. These nutrients can then help plants and other organisms grow. In a food web, there is an arrow pointing from another organism to a decomposer. There are no arrows pointing from a decomposer to another organism. The black bear has an arrow pointing from it. So, the black bear is not a decomposer. The bolete fungus does not have arrows pointing from it to other organisms. So, the bolete fungus is a decomposer. The parasol fungus does not have arrows pointing from it to other organisms. So, the parasol fungus is a decomposer. The swallowtail caterpillar has arrows pointing from it. So, the swallowtail caterpillar is not a decomposer. The gray fox has arrows pointing from it. So, the gray fox is not a decomposer.

What do these two changes have in common? a log decomposing in the woods an old sandwich rotting in a trashcan

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

C

Step 1: Think about each change. The breakdown of plant and animal matter by organisms such as fungi and earthworms is called decomposition. A log decomposing in the woods is a chemical change. As the log breaks down, the type of matter in it changes. Over time, the log becomes softer and has a different smell. A sandwich rotting is a chemical change. The matter in the sandwich breaks down and slowly turns into a different type of matter. 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. Neither change is caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

What do these two changes have in common? carving a piece of wood butter melting on a hot day

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

B

Step 1: Think about each change. Carving a piece of wood is a physical change. The wood changes shape, but it is still made of the same type of matter. Butter melting on a hot day is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. The butter changes from solid to liquid, but it is still made of the same 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. Butter melting on a hot day is caused by heating. But carving a piece of wood is not. Both are caused by cooling.
