The diagram shows part of a river food web. Which change would MOST likely reduce the number of both large roach fish and steelhead fish?
an increase in the amount of algae
an increase in the number of small invertebrates
a decrease in the number of predatory invertebrates

Yuko designed an experiment to test the effect of heating and cooling on air. She blew up two balloons to similar sizes and measured their circumferences. She placed one balloon in a freezer for one hour and left the second balloon on the table. After one hour she measured their circumferences again. She then left both balloons on the table for one more hour. The graph below shows the change in the sizes of the balloons during the experiment.
Which statement BEST explains the differences seen between the two balloons during the experiment?
Air contracts when cooled but is not affected by warming.
Cooling causes air to contract and heating causes air to expand.
Balloons put more pressure on cold air than room temperature air.
Freezing causes balloons to contract and thawing causes them expand.
Manuel was having trouble opening a new glass jar of pickles. His father told Manuel to hold the metal lid of the jar under running hot water for a few seconds, then try again. Then the lid opened easily. What is the MOST likely reason Manuel’s father suggested using hot water to loosen the lid?
Glass contracts when it is heated.
Metals expand when they are heated.
Metals are easier to grip when they are warm.
Hot water reduces friction between metal and glass.
Anya placed an ice cube on the sidewalk on a warm day. The ice cube soon melted to form a puddle. What process caused the ice cube to melt?
Heat transferred through the ice cube by convection.
Heat transferred from the air to the ice cube by radiation.
Heat transferred from the air and the pavement by conduction.
Heat transferred through the ice cube into the pavement by conduction.
What must occur before clouds can form?
Water vapor must gain heat energy.
Water vapor must lose heat energy.
Precipitation must begin to fall and run off.
Transpiration must add water vapor to the atmosphere.
Chris fit the pieces of a space shuttle model together. Which statement BEST describes how the pieces compare to the completed model?
Each piece is stronger than the completed model.
The mass of the completed model equals the mass of all the pieces.
Each piece is made from a different material than the completed model.
The mass of the completed model is more than the mass of the all the pieces.
