Europe. What property of water makes the climate of these areas milder than they would
otherwise be?
melting point
expansion of crystal structure as water freezes
polarity and electronegativity

The graph shows the relationship of a lynx population to a snowshoe hare population.
Which of the following statements best explains why the lynx population usually increases after
the snowshoe hare population increases?
The lynx birth rate increases when more snowshoe hares are present.
Lynx move over large areas to hunt snowshoe hares.
. High snowshoe hare populations cause a decrease in the lynx birth rate.
The populations of both animals decrease during the winter and increase during the summer.
As the human population rises, the demand for popular fish, like tuna, in grocery stores and
restaurants has also gone up. Many people enjoy eating these types of fish. How might
increasing the number of tuna caught affect the tuna fishery over the long term?
The tuna population may decrease, but then rebound after the tuna adapt.
The tuna population as a whole may decrease, but the demand for tuna will also decrease.
The tuna population may decrease; therefore, fishing restrictions will need to be implemented.
The tuna population as a whole may decrease, but individuals may be larger due to less
competition.
Water is a common cleaning agent. It is most effective for dissolving substances with which
characteristic?
polar bonds
high density
nonelectrolytes
low electronegativity
The diagram below shows some cell processes that occur before two daughter cells are
produced. What characteristic do these daughter cells share?
They share a new genetic code.
They have identical chromosomes.
They have half as much DNA as the parent cell.
They have twice as many genes as the parent cell.
The common cold, most often caused by a type of virus known as a rhinovirus, causes fever, sore throat, coughing, and nasal congestion. Why is treatment with antibiotics not recommended for the common cold?
Antibiotics are only effective in treating the fever
Antibiotics require a dosage that most people would not tolerate
Antibiotics work only with viruses
Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections
Every cell contains DNA. The main purpose of DNA is to store the cell’s genetic
information. How does DNA control the cell?
DNA activates nerve signals.
DNA speeds up chemical reactions.
DNA protects the cell from invaders.
DNA determines what proteins are made.
