Water, evaporating from the surface of a lake, is an example of water moving from the -
hydrosphere to the atmosphere
Why does the tilt of Earth on its axis creates the seasons? Because the axis of Earth is tilted -
the angle of sunlight varies on different parts of Earth at different times.
At what level of organization in an ecosystem is an individual plant or animal?
Organism
According to Newton’s third law of motion, if someone jumps off a skateboard, the skateboard will roll backward because –
the force that sent the person forward, there is an equal force pushing back on the skateboard.
Why does the Moon have a greater effect on ocean tides than the Sun?
The Moon has a greater gravitational pull on Earth’s oceans because it is much closer.
Cooking pans are often made of aluminum or copper. Electrical wires made of aluminum and copper are also found in homes.
Why are these materials good choices for cooking and electricity?
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity
The Southern Hemisphere experiences the coldest seasonal weather during what portion of the Earth’s orbit?
When the South Pole tilts away from the Sun.
Ecosystem is the level of organization that is best described as including –
various species in an area and the abiotic factors on which they depend
Which two characteristics are most useful for determining its elastic potential energy of a stretched rubber band?
The length to which the rubber band is stretched and the forced used to stretch it
Which of Earth’s layers would be best modeled as a metal sphere?
Inner core
Analyze the concept map provided, then answer the question
Which term is represented by the letter X on the concept map?

Emma is conducting an experiment and records the number of cells grown in three separate petri dishes over a period of 20 days. A table is provided.
The data shown in the table best illustrates which part of the cell theory?
All cells come from preexisting cells.
Four species were introduced to a new ecosystem. The number of organisms for each population for the first one hundred days are plotted in the graph below.
Which species was first to reach their carrying capacity?
Species 4
Two objects are sitting on a table. Which of the two objects will have the greater gravitational potential energy?
The object with more mass
Which of the following correctly lists the layers of Earth in order of decreasing temperature? (greatest temperature to lowest temperature)
Greatest to Least

The density of hot and cold water are different mainly because –
The molecules in hot water move faster and are slightly further apart
An organism that is only one cell big is called a(n) −
unicellular organism
The relationships that organisms have with one another are an important part of the balance among species within ecosystems. Which type of symbiotic relationship occurs when ecological niches overlap, and multiple organisms seek the same resources?
Competition
An amusement park ride uses electricity to make its motor spin. The ride also makes noise and lights up. Which observation of the amusement park ride demonstrates the law of conservation of energy?
The amount of electrical energy used equals the total amount of mechanical, sound, and light energy produced.
The weathering and erosion caused by wind, water, and ice contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks, because they produced which of the following results?
Breaking down rocks into smaller fragments
A piece of carrot floats in salt water but the same piece of carrot sinks in fresh water. This is because –
Salt water is more dense than fresh water
Determine if the two slides are cells taken from plants or cells taken from animals.
Slide 1 is an animal cell because it does not have a cell wall. Slide 2 is a plant cell because it does have a cell wall.
Any biotic or abiotic factor that regulates the size of a population of another organism is known as a
limiting factor
Energy is always conserved. It cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred between objects or systems, from one form to another. Which of the following is true of the relationship between kinetic and potential energy?
When a system gains kinetic energy, it loses potential energy.
