Select the living thing.
[ "apple tree", "backpack" ]
A
An apple tree is a living thing. Apple trees grow and respond to the world around them. They need food and water. Apple trees are plants. They make their own food using water, carbon dioxide, and energy from sunlight. A backpack is not a living thing. Backpacks do not have all of the traits of living things. They do not grow or respond to the world around them. They do not need food or water.

Jerry wakes up one morning and finds the thermostat set to 40 degrees. He set it to double the initial temperature. His dad notices, yells at Jerry, and reducing the temperature by 30 degrees. Later, Jerry's mother reduces the temperature by 30%, before his sister increases it by 24 degrees. What's the final temperature?
null
59
First double the initial temperature: 40 degrees * 2 = <<40*2=80>>80 degrees Then reduce that amount by 30 to reflect the dad's change: 80 degrees - 30 degrees = <<80-30=50>>50 degrees Then multiply that number by 30% to find how much Jerry's mother reduces the temperature: 50 degrees * .3 = <<50*.3=15>>15 degrees Now subtract 15 degrees from 50 degrees to find the temperature after the mother's change: 50 degrees - 15 degrees = <<50-15=35>>35 degrees Finally, add 24 degrees to find the final temperature: 35 degrees + 24 degrees = <<35+24=59>>59 degrees #### 59

Carson is sorting seaweed for various uses. 50% of the seaweed is only good for starting fires. 25% of what's left can be eaten by humans, and the rest is fed to livestock. If Carson harvests 400 pounds of seaweed, how many pounds are fed to livestock?
null
150
First find what percent of the seaweed can be used for something besides starting fires: 400 pounds / 2 = <<400/2=200>>200 pounds Then divide that amount by 4 to find the amount that's eaten by humans: 200 pounds / 4 = <<200/4=50>>50 pounds Then subtract that amount from the 200 pounds to find how much is eaten by livestock: 200 pounds - 50 pounds = <<200-50=150>>150 pounds #### 150

What is the expected ratio of offspring with red fruit to offspring with yellow fruit? Choose the most likely ratio.
[ "2:2", "4:0", "3:1", "1:3", "0:4" ]
E
To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with red fruit or yellow fruit, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the fruit color trait. The question tells you that the F allele, which is for red fruit, is dominant over the f allele, which is for yellow fruit. Red fruit is the dominant allele's version of the fruit color trait. A tomato plant with the dominant version of the fruit color trait must have at least one dominant allele for the fruit color gene. So, offspring with red fruit must have the genotype FF or Ff. There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype FF or Ff. Yellow fruit is the recessive allele's version of the fruit color trait. A tomato plant with the recessive version of the fruit color trait must have only recessive alleles for the fruit color gene. So, offspring with yellow fruit must have the genotype ff. All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype ff. So, the expected ratio of offspring with red fruit to offspring with yellow fruit is 0:4. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will never produce offspring with red fruit. Instead, this cross is expected to always produce offspring with yellow fruit.

Henry has 30 more lollipops than Alison does. With 60 lollipops, Alisson has half the number of lollipops Diane has. If they combine the lollipops and eat 45 lollipops each day, calculate the total number of days it will take for them to finish the lollipops.

Since Henry has 30 more lollipops than Alison, he has 60+30= 90 lollipops. Together, Alison and Henry have 90+60 = <<90+60=150>>150 lollipops. Alison has half the number of lollipops that Diane has, meaning Diane has 2*60 = 120 lollipops. Altogether, the three have 120+150 = <<120+150=270>>270 lollipops. Since they eat 45 lollipops each day, they'll take 270/45=<<270/45=6>>6 days to finish all the lollipops. #### 6

A barn owl's scientific name is Tyto alba. The first word of its scientific name is Tyto. Ardea alba and Tyto alba are not in the same genus. These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Ardea alba and Tyto alba have the same species name within their genus, alba. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Ardea alba is in the genus Ardea, and Tyto alba is in the genus Tyto. Acanthaster planci is in the genus Acanthaster. The first word of its scientific name is Acanthaster. So, Acanthaster planci and Tyto alba are not in the same genus. This organism and the barn owl are in the same genus and the same species!

What do these two changes have in common? plants making food from sunlight, air, and water rust forming on a metal gate
[ "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are chemical changes." ]
D
Step 1: Think about each change. Plants making food is a chemical change. Plants use energy from sunlight to change air and water into food. The food is sugar. Sugar is a different type of matter than air or water. Rust forming on a metal gate is a chemical change. As the gate rusts, the metal turns into a different type of matter called rust. Rust is reddish-brown and falls apart easily. 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.

Let d be the number of drunk drivers and s be the number of speeders. We know that d + s = 45 and s = 7d - 3. Substituting the second equation into the first equation, we get d + 7d - 3 = 45 Combining like terms, we get 8d - 3 = 45 Adding 4 to both sides, we get 8d = 48 Dividing both sides by 8, we get d = 6 #### 6

Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
[ "neither; the samples have the same temperature", "sample A", "sample B" ]

The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample B has more mass than each particle 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.
