Scientists are studying the effects of climate change on the Baltic Sea. Which statement best explains why biodiversity in the Baltic Sea could decrease if these changes occur?

Plants and animals adapted for living in saltier conditions will not be able to survive and reproduce.

Fewer types of plants and animals are found in warm water than in cool water

Plants and animals adapted for living in saltwater will grow more slowly in water that has less salt.

Animals adapted for living in warm water will eat all the plants and animals adapted for living in cool water.

Aluminum, sulfur, and chlorine are elements found on the periodic table. Tests involving these three elements would show that at normal room temperature —

aluminum is malleable and conducts electricity

sulfur is malleable and aluminum conducts electricity

chlorine is malleable and conducts electricity

all three elements are malleable and conduct electricity

What do these volcanoes indicate about plate tectonics in the region?

The volcanoes form an island arc, indicating a converging plate boundary.

The volcanoes form a line, indicating a diverging plate boundary

Two plates are moving past each other, causing faulting and magma formation.

Two plates are moving apart, creating new seafloor.

The total mass of the cyclist and the bicycle is 100.0 kg. Based on this information, what is the acceleration of the cyclist?

0 6. m6 /s2 forward, because the applied force is greater than the force of the air

0 6. m6 /s2 backward, because the force of the air slows the cyclist down

2 3. m/s2 backward, because the forces are opposite and not equal

2 3. m/s2 forward, because the cyclist’s inertia is greater than the force of the air

A chemist is identifying the elements present in a sample of seawater. What characteristic of an element’s atoms always determines the element’s identity?

The location of valence electrons

The number of valence electrons

Copper interferes with photosynthesis algae and other aquatic plants. What would be the most likely result of an accidental spill of these compounds in an aquatic environment?

The plant populations would be reduced.

The fish would grow larger than usual.

The zooplankton population would increase

The plants would increase in size but decrease in number

Tropical rain forests have the greatest biodiversity of any type of land ecosystem. How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of an ecosystem?

The presence of more species with different adaptations makes it more likely that some organisms will survive an ecological disaster

Greater genetic variation within species makes it more likely that some individuals will survive a disease outbreak.

The presence of a variety of herbivore species that can feed on a large number of different producer species helps ensure abundant prey for predators in the ecosystem.
