1.

How much water should be added to the graduated cylinder shown below to increase the volume to 15 milliliters?

a)

3 mL

b)

4 mL

c)

10 mL

d)

11 mL

2.

If a control group is not included in an experiment, it would be difficult to

a)

formulate a hypothesis for the experiment

b)

make observations about the experimental group

c)

record data in a data table

d)

draw a valid conclusion

3.

An experiment was set up to determine the effect of nitrates, a pollutant, on the number of chloroplasts present in euglena. Five tanks were set up, each with euglena and a different concentration of nitrate solution: 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%.

The tanks were placed in a sunny location where each tank received the same amount of light.


Which statement is a possible hypothesis for this experiment that could be supported by the results of this experiment?

a)

If the average number of chloroplasts in euglena decreases, will less nitrate be needed in each tank?

b)

If the nitrate concentration is increased, then the euglena will have a lower average number of chloroplasts.

c)

If the number of euglena in a tank increases, will more nitrates be produced?

d)

If the nitrate concentration is decreased, then more light will reduce the average number of chloroplasts in euglena.

4.

An experiment was set up to determine the effect of nitrates, a pollutant, on the number of chloroplasts present in euglena. Five tanks were set up, each with euglena and a different concentration of nitrate solution: 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%.

The tanks were placed in a sunny location where each tank received the same amount of light.


Which statement correctly identifies a variable in this experiment?

a)

The independent variable is the concentration of nitrate solution used.

b)

The dependent variable is the number of euglena placed in the tanks.

c)

The independent variable is the amount of sunlight.

d)

The dependent variable is the number of tanks used.

5.

Which statement is best supported by the data in the chart?

a)

After exercise, the nonathletic students had a lower heart rate than the athletic students.

b)

After exercise, the heart rates of the athletic students returned to resting pulse in four minutes.

c)

During exercise, both groups of students had the same increase above their resting pulse.

d)

During exercise, the athletic students had a higher heart rate than the nonathletic students.
