Which of the following organisms is the secondary consumer in this food web?
[ "green algae", "shiner", "golden algae" ]
B
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 green algae does not have any arrows pointing to it, so it is not a secondary consumer. The rotifer has an arrow pointing to it from the water flea. The water flea is a primary consumer, so the rotifer is a secondary consumer. The golden algae does not have any arrows pointing to it, so it is not a secondary consumer. The shiner has an arrow pointing to it from the water flea. The water flea is a primary consumer, so the shiner is a secondary consumer.

B
A cold desert is a type of ecosystem. Cold deserts have the following features: a small amount of rain or snow, dry, thin soil, and long, cold winters. So, the following statement describes the Great Basin Desert ecosystem: a small amount of rain or snow, dry, thin soil, and long, cold winters. It has long, cold winters. The following statements do not describe the Great Basin Desert: a small amount of rain or snow, dry, thin soil, and long, cold winters. It has a medium amount of rain.

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

Is limestone a mineral?
[ "no", "yes" ]
A
Limestone is a rock that forms from ocean sediment. The sediment in limestone is made mostly of the shells of marine organisms. But the rock itself is not made by organisms. It forms deep below Earth's surface when layers of sediment are pressed together to form rock.

It took an alligator named Paul 4 hours to walk from his home at the River Nile to the Nile Delta. On the return journey, Paul traveled with six other alligators, the journey taking 2 more hours than Paul took to walk to the Nile Delta, to reach their home at the River Nile. What's the combined time the alligators walked?
null
46
If on the return journey to its home, the alligator took 2 more hours than it took to travel to the Nile Delta, Paul took 4+2=<<4+2=6>>6 hours to travel back to its home. The total time Paul took to travel from its home to the Nile Delta and back is 6+4=<<6+4=10>>10 On his return journey, Paul traveled with six other alligators, and since each alligator traveled for six hours up the Nile to their home, they took a total of 6*6=<<6*6=36>>36 hours to do so. Together with Paul, all the alligators took 10+36=<<10+36=46>>46 hours traveling between Nile Delta and up the Nile. #### 46

The teacher told the class that if they averaged at least 75% on their final exam, they could have a pizza party. Everyone took the exam on Monday, except for William, who was allowed to take it on Tuesday. If there are 30 people in the class, and the average before he took the test was a 74%, what score does he have to get to make sure they get to have a pizza party?
null
94
Let x be the score that William needs to achieve. Since there are 30 people in the class, there are 30 - 1 = <<30-1=29>>29 people without him. Since their average was a 74%, this means that (29 * 74 + x) / 30 >= 75. Thus, 29 * 74 + x >= 30 * 75 Thus, 29 * 74 + x >= 2250 Thus, 2146 + x >= 2250 Thus, x >= 2250 - 2146 Thus, x >= 94 #### 94

Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
[ "sample A", "sample B", "neither; the samples have the same temperature" ]
B
Each particle in the two samples has the same mass, but the particles in sample B have a higher average speed than the particles in sample A. So, the particles in sample B have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample A. Because the particles in sample B have the higher average kinetic energy, sample B must have the higher temperature.

Assume all other forces on Oscar are balanced. Which statement describes the forces on Oscar?
[ "The forces are unbalanced, so there is a net force on Oscar.", "The forces are balanced, so there is no net force on Oscar." ]
B
To determine if there is a net force on Oscar, look at the forces: Earth's gravity is pulling Oscar down with a force of 400 N. The diving board is pushing Oscar up with a force of 400 N. The forces are in opposite directions, and the forces have the same magnitude: 400 N. This means that the forces are balanced, so there is no net force on Oscar.

Complete the statement. Hydrogen peroxide is ().
[ "an elementary substance", "a compound" ]
B
Use the model to determine whether hydrogen peroxide is an elementary substance or a compound. Step 1: Interpret the model. . Use the legend to determine the chemical element represented by each color. The colors and atomic symbols from the legend are shown in the table below. The table also includes the names of the chemical elements represented in the model. You can see from the model that a molecule of hydrogen peroxide is composed of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms bonded together. Step 2: Determine whether the substance is an elementary substance or a compound. You know from Step 1 that hydrogen peroxide is composed of two chemical elements: hydrogen and oxygen. Since hydrogen peroxide is composed of multiple chemical elements bonded together, hydrogen peroxide is a compound.

Amy bought a 15-foot spool of string to cut up into wicks for making candles. If she cuts up the entire string into an equal number of 6-inch and 12-inch wicks, what is the total number of wicks she will have cut?
null
20
15 feet of string is 15*12=<<15*12=180>>180 inches long. If for every 6-inch wick she also cuts a 12-inch wick, then the pair of wicks are 6+12=<<6+12=18>>18 inches long. Thus, in 180 inches of string, she can cut 180/18=<<180/18=10>>10 pairs of wicks. 10 pairs of wicks are a total of 10*2=<<10*2=20>>20 wicks #### 20

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

Solomon bought a dining table at a 10% discount and paid the sale price of $450. What was the original price of the dining table?
null
500
Since there was a 10% discount, this means that Solomon only paid 100% - 10% = 90% of the original price. The 90% is represented by $450, so 1% is equal to $450/90 = $<<450/90=5>>5. Therefore, the original price of the dining table is $5 x 100 =$<<5*100=500>>500. #### 500

An apartment complex has 4 identical buildings. Each building has 10 studio apartments, 20 2 person apartments, and 5 4 person apartments. How many people live in the apartment complex if it has 75% of its maximum occupancy?
null

First, we find out how many people live in each building. In addition to 10 1 person apartments, as a studio apartment is for a single person, there are 20 2 person apartments meaning there are 20*2=<<20*2=40>>40 people capable of living there. We then find out how many people can live in the 4 person apartments by multiplying the number of available 4 person apartments by 4, performing 5*4=20 people capable of living there. So, in 1 building there is room for 10+40+20=<<10+40+20=70>>70 people. We multiply this by the 4 buildings in total, finding a maximum occupancy of 4*70=<<4*70=280>>280 people We then multiply this by .75 to find out how many people would live there at 75% of maximum occupancy, performing 280*.75= <<210=210>>210 people. #### 210
