As Johnathan is leaving for work, he notices the drops of water on top of the leaves in his garden. The drops of water form from the moisture in the atmosphere as it condenses in the early morning. Which property of water explains the formation beads of water on top the leaves?
Versatility as a solvent
Cohesive behavior
Moderates temperature
Expansion upon freezing
SC.912.L.18.9
A scientist measured the cytoplasmic ATP content in different types of cells. The results are shown in the graph below.
Based on these results, what conclusion can be made about these cell types?
The muscle cell requires the most cytoplasm of the cell types.
The liver cell requires the most amount of energy of the cell types.
The mammary gland cell was taken from a female that is producing milk.
The epithelial cell requires the least amount of energy of the cell types.

Variation within organisms within a species increases the chance that a species will survive changing conditions. What kind of reproduction produces the most variation with species?
Asexual reproduction
Budding
Parthenogenesis
Sexual reproduction
SC.912.L.16.1

0%
50%
75%
100%
SC.912.L.16.1
This chart shows the results of several crosses with white-feathered chickens and dark-feathered chickens.
What can be concluded about these chickens?
White and dark feathers show incomplete dominance.
White and dark feathers are codominant.
White feathers are dominant.
Dark feathers are dominant.
SC.912.L.16.1
In humans, detached earlobes (E) are dominant to attached earlobes (e). In the cross between a homozygous recessive individual and heterozygous individual, what would be the phenotypic percentage of the F1 generation?
50% detached earlobes and 50% attached earlobes
33% detached earlobes and 66% attached earlobes
25% detached earlobes and 75% attached earlobes
75% detached earlobes and 25% attached earlobes
SC.912.L.15.1
The image shows part of the humerus bone in different genera of primates.
Which statement is best supported by the observable structures of the different humerus bones?
The primates lived in similar environments
The primates shared a common ancestor
The primates interbreed with similar organisms in a population
The primates had diets that consisted of similar types of foods
SC.912.L.15.1
Cetaceans are whales and their relatives. The diagram shows some fossils of cetaceans.
Which statement provides the best evidence that Ambulocetus natans is an ancestor of Basilosaurus isis?
Homologous structures occur in each fossil.
Similar nitrogenous bases are found in the DNA of each fossil.
The fossils were found in different locations.
The youngest fossil is larger than the older fossils.
SC.912.L.17.20
A city with a rapidly growing population cannot get enough electricity from local sources. The city council will soon be meeting to discuss possible solutions to this problem. A local power company recommended four possible kinds of power plant that could be used to generate more electricity for the city. Each kind of power plant would use a different energy type.
Members of the city council asked energy experts to provide them with information about each method of generating electricity. The experts made the following table to help the council and local citizens understand some general information about each energy type.
Burning coal is a simple and relatively inexpensive way to produce electricity. Coal does not need to be refined before it can be used as fuel. However, burning coal releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide and pollutants. The pollutants can impact air quality and human health. There are technologies that can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and pollutants released, but using them makes the process more expensive.
The city council is trying to decide if they should require local coal-burning power plants to use technologies to reduce the amount of pollutants released. How could monitoring environmental parameters near the power plant be helpful?
It would decrease the amount of pollution released by the power plant.
It would provide information that could help the council make a decision.
It would reduce the cost of installing and using the new technologies.
It would make the power plant produce electricity more efficiently.
SC.912.L.17.20
Most modern forms of transportation are powered by fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, and other gases are released into the atmosphere during the production and combustion of these fuels. How might these gases cause climatic changes?
These gases have no effect on atmospheric temperatures, so they are unable to cause any type of climatic changes.
These gases block solar radiation, making the atmosphere cooler than it would otherwise be.
These gases cause more water vapor to condense, making climates wetter than they were in the past.
These gases reduce the amount of thermal energy escaping into space, effectively warming the atmosphere.
SC.912.L.16.13
The sex cells in males and females are referred to as sperm and ova, respectively. Ultimately, they have the same function but there are some differences between the two cells. Which of the following statements accurately describes the similarities in mature human sperm and ova?
They both contain DNA
They are approximately the same size
They are produced from puberty until death
They both have flagellum that provides motility
SC.912.L.16.13
A fertilized egg undergoes several stages before it is successfully implanted. The diagram below shows these stages as the fertilized egg travels through the female human reproductive system.
In which of the following structures of the female human reproductive system is the blastocyst implanted during normal human development?
Ovary
Uterus
Vagina
Amniotic sac
SC.912.L.16.13
