Fully-grown adults are much larger in size than young children. What happens to the cells of the body
during the growth of a child?
The cells of a growing child divide to make more cells, and those cells are each half the size as the cells were before they divided.
The cells do not grow before they divide again.
The cells of the body of a growing child grow, but the number of cells stays the same.
The cells of a growing child divide to make more cells, and those cells grow to become the same size as the cells were just before
they divided.
The size and number of cells in the body of a growing child stay the same.
A group of students is making paper airplanes. They think that the kind of paper and the design of the airplane may affect how far each paper airplane flies. The students first test if the kind of paper affects how far the airplane flies. They make several airplanes out of different kinds of paper, using the same design. Why is it important that all the airplanes have the same design?
By using the same design, the students can learn about both the effect of the design and the effect of the paper
By using the same design, the students can learn about the effect of the design.
If they do not use the same design, the students cannot learn about the effect of the paper.
It is NOT important for the airplanes to have the same design because the students are not testing the effect of the design.
Which of the following does DNA provide information for?
Both the types of amino acids that make up a protein, and the sequence of those amino acids.

The sequence of amino acids that make up a protein molecule, but not the types of amino acids.
Neither the types of amino acids that make up a protein, nor the sequence of those amino acids.
What do DNA and protein have to do with each other?
DNA is a type of protein

Which of the following statements about competition between animals is TRUE?
Animals compete for food when it is limited, but they do not compete for water when it is limited.
Animals compete for food and water when they are limited, but they do not compete for shelter when it is limited.
Animals compete for food, water, and shelter when they are limited.
Animals do not compete for any resources, even when it is limited.
A cook places an iron frying pan on the stove. What happens as the iron pan heats up?
The distance between the iron atoms does not change, so the pan remains the same.
The number of iron atoms does not change, so the pan remains the same.
The distance between the iron atoms increases, so the pan gets a tiny bit larger
The distance between the iron atoms does not change, so the pan remains the same.

A student holds a ball at the top of a ramp. He lets go of the ball and the ball speeds up as it rolls down the ramp. How do the gravitational potential energy and the motion energy (kinetic energy) of the ball change as the ball rolls down the ramp? Why?
The gravitational potential energy decreases and the motion energy increases. The gravitational potential energy is transformed into motion energy as the ball rolls down the ramp.
The gravitational potential energy decreases and the motion energy increases. As soon as the ball starts moving it no longer has gravitational potential energy; it has only motion energy.
The motion energy and gravitational potential energy both decrease. Both forms of energy are used up as the ball moves and are not transformed into any other form of energy.
The gravitational potential energy and the motion energy both stay the same. One form of energy cannot be transformed into a different form of energy.
