Which of the following describes what is meant by Natural Selection?
An organism will survive no matter what its adaptations may be

No organisms will survive.
Before the industrial revolution the birds were eating more black moths. After the industrial revolution the birds started eating more white moths. Why
The birds thought the white moths tasted better.
There were not any black moths to eat
The white moths stood out on the dark trees so the birds could see them easier.
What is most likely to happen to moth populations in the picture shown?
Light moths--hunted easily, dark moths--population increase
Dark moths--hunted easily, dark moths--population increase
Light moths--hunted easily, light moths--population increase
Lights moths will change their color to match dark moths.

Which statement about water pollution is TRUE?
Pollution only affects surface water.
Pollution cannot be dissolved in water.
Pollution affects both surface and groundwater.

During the process of photosynthesis —
radiant energy is converted into chemical energy
heat energy is transferred into potential energy
radiant energy is changed into potential energy
thermal energy is exchanged for kinetic energy
Complex interactions must occur before solar energy is converted into a form of energy humans need to work and perform many life processes. Choose the sequence that best shows this path of energy.
radiant energy → chemical energy → mechanical energy
radiant energy → mechanical energy → chemical energy
heat energy → light energy → photosynthesis
mechanical energy → chemical energy → radiant energy

What does it mean for a planet to be found within the “habitable zone” of a solar system?
A habitable planet is the correct distance from a star making the water cycle possible.
A habitable planet is the correct distance from a star making the temperature conditions possible for supporting life.
A habitable planet is too far away from a star making the temperature conditions too cold for liquid water to exist.
