Which solution has a higher concentration of blue particles?
[ "neither; their concentrations are the same", "Solution A", "Solution B" ]
C
In Solution A and Solution B, the blue particles represent the solute. To figure out which solution has a higher concentration of blue particles, look at both the number of blue particles and the volume of the solvent in each container. Use the concentration formula to find the number of blue particles per milliliter. Solution B has more blue particles per milliliter. So, Solution B has a higher concentration of blue particles.

What do these two changes have in common? baking an apple pie water evaporating from a puddle
[ "Both are chemical changes.", "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are caused by cooling." ]
B
Step 1: Think about each change. Baking an apple pie is a chemical change. The type of matter in the pie changes. The apples become soft, and the crust turns brown. 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 baking a pie is not. Both are chemical changes. Baking a pie 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.

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.
[ "to the left than to the right", "to the right than to the left" ]
A
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 2 solute particles on the left side of the membrane and 6 solute particles on the right side of the membrane. When the solute particles reached equilibrium, there were 4 solute particles on each side of the membrane. There were 2 more solute particles on the left 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 left than to the right.

Based on this information, what is Lollipop's phenotype for the fur color trait?
[ "brown fur", "black fur" ]
A
Lollipop's genotype for the fur color gene is ff. Lollipop's genotype of ff has only f alleles. The f allele is for brown fur. So, Lollipop's phenotype for the fur color trait must be brown fur. To check this answer, consider whether Lollipop's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for brown fur (f) is recessive to the allele for black fur (F). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. Lollipop'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, Lollipop's phenotype for the fur color trait must be brown fur.

Select the gas.
[ "rain", "baseball cap", "air inside a tire", "ring" ]
C
A baseball cap is a solid. A solid has a size and shape of its own. If you put a baseball cap on your head, the baseball cap will still have a size and shape of its own. The air inside a tire is a gas. A gas expands to fill a space. The air in a tire expands to fill all the space inside the tire. If air leaks out, it will expand into the space around the tire. Rain is a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you put rainwater into a bucket, the rainwater will take the shape of the bucket. But the rainwater will still take up the same amount of space. A ring is a solid. A solid has a size and shape of its own. A ring keeps its shape, even when you take it off your finger.

Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
[ "The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2." ]
C
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. Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force. When there is a greater distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is smaller. There is a greater distance between the magnets in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

Johnny has been playing guitar for a while now. He practices the same amount each day. As of 20 days ago he had half as much practice as he has currently. How many days will pass before Johnny has 3 times as much practice as he does currently?
null

If Johnny had half as much practice as he currently has as of 20 days ago, this means he has 20*2=<<20*2=40>>40 days worth of practice currently. Therefore, to have three times as much practice as he currently has, he'd need to practice for 40*3=<<40*3=120>>120 days. Since he's already practiced for 40 days, this means he needs to practice or 120-40= <<120-40=80>>80 more days #### 80
