Based on the Animal Senses Model, which sense does the eagle primarily use to spot prey from a distance?

• Smell

• Hearing

• Sight

• Touch

According to the Animal Senses Model, how does a dog use its sense of hearing?

According to the Animal Senses Model, what are two ways elephants use their senses to survive in their environment?

• Elephants receive sound vibrations from other elephants through their feet to find mates and use scent clues to tell the difference between two human tribes, to avoid tribes that hunt them.

• Elephants use their eyesight to spot predators from miles away and use their tails to communicate with each other.

• Elephants use their sense of taste to find the sweetest fruits and use their trunks to dig for water underground.

• Elephants use their sense of balance to climb trees and use their sense of touch to identify different types of soil.

Based on the Animal Senses Model, which animal uses both sight and hearing to locate prey?

• Eagle

• Dog

• Bat

• Elephant

A student claimed that elephants and bats both receive sound information, but respond to the sounds differently. Which statement best supports this claim using information from the Animal Senses Model?

• Elephants and bats both use sound to find food in the same way.

• Elephants use low-frequency sounds to communicate over long distances, while bats use high-frequency sounds for echolocation.

• Both elephants and bats ignore sound information in their environment.

• Elephants and bats both respond to sound by flying.

Organisms respond to information in different ways. Which statement describes how two organisms could respond to a warning sound at 35,000 Hz?

• Humans cannot hear the sound to respond and elephants might stamp their feet.

• Humans can hear the sound and respond and the dog might bark.

• Humans cannot hear the sound to respond and the dog might bark.

• Humans can hear the sound and respond and the bat might fly away from the sound. groov

The model below represents the path that a herd of elephants would take if given the choice when encountering the scents of two different tribes. Which type of information processing allows the herd of elephants to make this choice?

• Use memories stored in the brain to recall the Kamba tribe, which has hunted them in the past.

• Use memories stored in the brain to recall the Maasai tribe, which has hunted them in the past.

• Use memories stored in the trunk to recall the Kamba tribe, which has hunted them in the past.

• Use memories stored in the trunk to recall the Maasai tribe, which has hunted them in the past.

In the models below, arrows represent the path of light. Which model correctly represents the path of light that occurs between the eagle, its prey (mouse), and the Sun that allows the eagle to see its prey?

• Diagram A

• Diagram B

• Diagram C

• Diagram D

Explain, using evidence from Data Table 1, how the speed of the golf ball affects the energy of the golf ball.

• As the speed of the golf ball increases, its energy increases.

• As the speed of the golf ball increases, its energy decreases.

• The speed of the golf ball does not affect its energy.

• The energy of the golf ball is always constant regardless of speed.

Which statement about forces acting on the golf ball is supported by the evidence in Data Table 1?

• Balanced forces cause the golf ball’s speed to increase as height of the bounce increases.

• Unbalanced forces cause the golf ball’s speed to increase as the ball falls.

• Forces on the ball are balanced when the golf ball hits the floor and bounces up.

• Unbalanced forces cause the golf ball’s speed to decrease as the ball falls.
