a)

Evaporation

b)

Condensation

c)

Precipitation

d)

Transpiration

8.

What is the primary function of the chloroplasts in plant cells?

a)

To break down sugar molecules to release energy

b)

To store water and nutrients

c)

To capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy

d)

To control the entry and exit of substances in and out of the cell

9.

Which of the following is a chemical change?

a)

Dissolving salt in water

b)

Boiling water

c)

Melting ice

10.

What most likely happened to the dead plants and animals?

a)

They were eaten by scavengers.

b)

G They became fossil fuels.

c)

H They were washed away by water

d)

J They became an underground aquifer.

11.

Based on this information, what is most likely an advantage of the bony fish tail fin over the shark tail fin?

a)

It is easier for a bony fish to change direction quickly since muscles control the movement of the tail fin.

b)

The bones in the tail fin help a bony fish sink to lower depths in the water when searching for food.

c)

The flexible tail fin is fanned by the water, so a bony fish uses less energy to swim.

d)

The thin spines of the tail fin prevent a bony fish from being seen by larger predator fish.

12.

What property of soils is the student most likely examining with this procedure?

a)

F The differences in texture between wet and dry soils

b)

G How well different soils retain water

c)

H How much water is needed to dissolve different soils

d)

J The amount of time it takes different soils to dry

13.

Based on their properties, which of the objects is most likely a metal?

a)

Object , because it is a solid that is less dense than water

b)

Object 2, because all metals float in water

c)

Object 2, because metals conduct thermal energy and electricity

d)

Object1, because it can be used to provide insulation for thermal energy

14.

Which statement correctly describes the transfer of energy in a food chain in this wetland?

a)

F Energy is transferred from hawks to shrews to grasshoppers to marsh grasses.

b)

G Energy is transferred from marsh grasses to crickets to hawks to frogs.

c)

H Energy is transferred from grasshoppers to crickets to frogs to hawks.

d)

J Energy is transferred from cattails to crickets to shrews to hawks.

15.
