Which social science studies how people interact with one another in groups and communities?
sociology
This metric unit is commonly used to measure the volume of liquids in beakers and graduated cylinders.
(L) or milliliter (mL

Convert 4.5 liters to milliliters.
4,500 milliliters
This type of transport moves molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without using energy.
diffusion
This branch of social science studies how people produce, buy, sell, and use goods and services.
economics
This metric unit measures the length of an object, such as a piece of wire or the height of a test tube.
meter

This process is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
osmosis
What is the purpose of environmental policy
to protect the environment by creating laws and regulations that reduce pollution, conserve natural resources, and protect ecosystems
Scientists usually measure temperature in this metric unit instead of degrees Fahrenheit.
Celsius (°C)
Name two actions people can take to reduce their impact on the environment.
recycle, reduce waste, reuse materials, conserve water, conserve energy, use renewable energy, plant trees, protect wildlife habitats, or reduce pollution?
A beaker contains 2.75 liters of water. How many milliliters is this?
2,750 milliliters
This type of transport requires ATP energy to move substances from low concentration to high concentration.
active transport
A city starts a recycling program to reduce waste and conserve resources. Which social science concept best explains how communities work together to solve environmental problems?
sociology
Name the four most commonly used metric units in chemistry and identify what each measures.
grams (mass), liters or milliliters (volume), meters or centimeters (length), and degrees Celsius (temperature)?
A factory provides jobs to a community but also pollutes a nearby river. Give one economic benefit and one environmental impact of the factory.
Economic benefit: Creates jobs, increases income, or supports local businesses.
Environmental impact: Water pollution, habitat destruction, harm to wildlife, reduced water quality, or decreased biodiversity.
A scientist measures a metal rod that is 2.35 meters long. What is its length in centimeters?
235 centimeters
Name the four main types of membrane transport and identify whether each requires energy.
diffusion (no energy), osmosis (no energy), facilitated diffusion (no energy), and active transport (requires ATP energy)?
A company wants to build a new factory. It will create hundreds of jobs but may also increase air pollution. Name one economic benefit and one environmental concern that leaders should consider before approving the project.
