The population went up

b)

The population went down

c)

Which piece of evidence proves the claim is true?

a)

chocolate milk contains fat.

b)

chocolate milkcontains protein.

c)

chocolate milk contains sugar.

d)
All of the above
9.

Our scientific principle tells us that all food has protein, fat, or carbohydrates (sugar or starch).Which reason explains why the evidence supports the claim?

a)

Since chocolate milk has fat, it must be food.

b)

Since chocolate milk has protein, it must be food.

c)

Since chocolate milk has sugar, it must be food.

d)

Since chocolate milk doesn't have any of these, it must not be food.

10.

What is likely to happen to the population of grasshopper right after the frog population decreases?

a)
The grasshopper population will decrease.
b)
The grasshopper population will increase.
c)
The grasshopper population will stay the same.
11.

Explain why the grasshopper population may change if the frog population decreases.

a)
There are FEWER organisms to eat the grasshoppers, so the grasshopper population will INCREASE.
b)
There are FEWER organisms to eat the grasshoppers, so the grasshopper population will DECREASE.
c)
There are MORE organisms to eat the grasshoppers, so the grasshopper population will INCREASE.
d)
There are MORE organisms to eat the grasshoppers, so the grasshopper population will DECREASE.
12.

An invasive species enters the forest and destroys many of the green plants. Which populations will be affected?
