What is commensalism?

• An association where the smaller species benefits and the larger species is harmed

• An association where one species benefits, and the other species is not significantly affected

• An association where the larger species benefits and the smaller species is harmed

After the bacteriophage uses its tail fibers to attach to the bacterial host, what will happen next in the lytic cycle?

• Degradation of host DNA

• Integration of viral nucleic acid into the bacterial genome

Why might a researcher use a sample rather than an entire population for their study?

• Using a sample is more accurate than using an entire population.

• Using a sample is more practical than using an entire population.

• Using a sample is more respected than using an entire population.

• Using a sample is more complicated than using an entire population.

Which statement best describes rock deformation?

• It is a change in temperature.

• It is a change in color.

• It is a change in composition.

• It is a change in size and/or shape.

What is the job of the human body's pulmonary circuit?

• To pump the blood through your blood vessels.

• To supply your body with nutrients needed for cellular activity.

• To carry oxygen to the trillions of cells in your body.

• To carry blood to the lungs so carbon dioxide can be released and oxygen can be picked up.

• To return deoxygenated blood to the heart.

Which part of the cell is a series of compartments that work together to package, label, and ship proteins and molecules?

• The endomembrane system

• The nucleus

• The ribosomes

• The mitochondria

If we plug 2 in for x in the following expressions, they both give the same answer: 2x² - 1 and 3x² ÷ 2. Although both expressions yield the same solution in this case, why are they NOT equivalent?

• The number 2 is a good test for equivalence of expressions.

• They only use one variable.

• They do not use the same mathematical operation.

• The expressions are not simplifications of each other, so they don't yield identical solutions for all values.
