C. Chemical changes can always be reversed, physical changes cannot.

D. Physical changes create smoke, but chemical changes do not.

Identify one chemical change and one physical change mentioned in the passage. Use specific evidence from the text to explain why each is classified as chemical or physical.

A chemical change involves a new substance being formed, while a physical change does not alter the substance's identity.

A chemical change and a physical change both result in new substances being formed.

A physical change always involves a color change, while a chemical change does not.

A chemical change can be reversed easily, while a physical change cannot.

A new substance formed and the temperature changed.

The test tube was made of glass.

The student used a graduated cylinder.

Which observation most clearly shows that a chemical reaction has taken place when two transparent liquids are mixed?

A yellow substance forms and settles at the bottom of the container.

The mixture remains completely clear.

The temperature of the mixture does not change.

No visible change occurs after mixing.

Refer to the diagram showing the process of photosynthesis. Which of the following statements is correct about the atoms involved in the reaction?

All of the atoms combined into a gas and floated away.

29. A student places saltwater in a beaker and leaves it uncovered for a few days. Eventually, only white crystals remain. The salt remains after a few days because:

the water evaporates, leaving the salt behind

the salt evaporates with the water

The model below represents cellular respiration taking place in an organelle within a body cell. Which organelle is represented in the model and is correctly paired with its function for the cell as a whole?

A. mitochondria: releases energy from food

B. chloroplast; captures energy to make food

C. nucleus control center of the cell

D. cell membrane; allows food to enter and wastes to leave the cell

The model below represents cellular respiration taking place in an organelle within a body cell. Which statement best describes a major difference between plant and animal cells?

D. Only plant cells have cell walls

A. Only plant cells have a nucleus.

B. Only animal cells use oxygen.

Chloroplasts are important to plant cells because they:

carry out photosynthesis to produce food for the plant

store genetic information for the plant

regulate water loss in the plant

provide structural support to the plant

Why does your heart beat faster when you exercise?

To deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your cells.

To remove more oxygen and nutrients to your muscles.

To make you feel more energized.

Which of the following correctly sequences the level of organization from simplest to most complex in a multicellular organism?

Cell → tissue → organ → system

Organ → system → cell → tissue

Organ → tissue → system → cell

Cell → system → tissue → organ

During a basketball game, CJ runs across the court, catches a pass, and shoots the ball. His brain quickly sends signals through nerves to his muscles, telling his legs and arms how to move. His heart beats faster to deliver oxygen-rich blood, and he breathes more rapidly. As he jumps and shoots, his skeleton provides support and structure for movement. These actions require coordination between the nervous, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, and skeletal systems.

The skeletal and muscular systems work together to move, and the nervous system directs that movement.

The circulatory system gives instructions to the skeletal system to pump blood.

The digestive system provides energy for the respiratory system to move muscles.

The muscular system creates oxygen and stores it for use by the circulatory system.

Which two body systems work together to allow CJ to move and shoot the basketball by sending signals to muscles and providing support for movement?

Respiratory and circulatory systems

Muscular and respiratory systems

Circulatory and skeletal systems

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Electromagnetic waves vary in their energy depending on their frequency and wavelength. Waves with higher frequencies have more energy. Infrared rays have longer wavelengths than visible light, so they carry less energy. X-rays and gamma rays have much higher frequencies and can penetrate materials that visible light cannot. This is why they are used in medical imaging, but they can also be harmful if not used carefully.

A. Infrared rays have more energy than X-rays.

B. X-rays can penetrate materials because they have higher energy.

C. Visible light has a higher frequency than gamma rays.

D. X-rays are completely safe for unlimited exposure.
