What is a plausible explanation as to why Jupiter has multiple moons while Earth only has one?
The gas that makes up Jupiter creates a friction in space which causes material to develop near it, making new moons.
Jupiter is a larger planet than Earth and has a larger gravitational attraction. This causes other objects to orbit it from a greater distance.
The large moons orbiting around Jupiter trap comets that are orbiting nearby and helps them form into smaller moons.
Students in class were asked to identify celestial objects based on characteristics. The table below shows the characteristics of four objects. Match each object with its characteristic.
planet
a large body, either of rock or gas, orbiting the Sun
moon
a body orbiting a planet
comet
body of ice and dust orbiting the Sun
asteroid
rocks orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter
According to Alfred Wegener’s Theory of Continental Drift, the continents were once joined together as one giant landmass called Pangaea. Which evidence below would best support his theory?
The same species of bird is currently found on 2 or more continents.
Similar rock and fossil evidence have been found on the coastlines of two or more continents.
Magnetic striping found in seafloor spreading shows a pattern of Earth’s magnetic field reversal over time.
Explain why the water is moving as pictured above.
The water is moving due to the force of gravity causing it to flow downhill.
The water is moving because of wind blowing across its surface.
The water is moving because of animals swimming in it.
The water is moving due to evaporation from the surface.
This movement would affect the Earth's crust by:
causing earthquakes and forming new landforms
increasing the Earth's gravity
slowing down the Earth's rotation
making the Earth's core cooler
What is a possible explanation for the pollution?
Too much fertilizer was used on crops and lawns in Austin
A drought in the Columbus area decreased the amount of runoff
A truck carrying cow manure crashed into the river in Columbus
Humans depend upon food that comes from the ocean. Some human activities negatively impact these food supplies. Which statement provides the best evidence that human activities contribute to this impact?
Humans catch marine fish at a faster rate than the fish are able to reproduce.
Humans raise fish in a hatchery/farm for sale.
Humans construct artificial (fake) reefs to attract tourists.
A photograph of a litter of six-week-old bulldog puppies shows that the puppies are not identical. Even though these puppies have the same parents, they do not all look alike because--
they were produced by asexual cloning
some of the puppies have genetic material from only one of the parents
each puppy has a different combination of genetic material as a result of sexual reproduction
all the puppies developed from the same fertilized egg
Which of the following statements are true about the two organisms in the table?
Organism 1 is part of the animalia kingdom, and Organism 2 is part of the eubacteria kingdom.
Organism 1 is part of the plantae kingdom, and Organism 2 is part of the fungi kingdom.
Organism 1 is part of the fungi kingdom, and Organism 2 is part of the plantae kingdom.
Using the dichotomous key, identify the class for the pictured leaf. Which one is leaf 4?
Magnolia
Cercis
Betula
Liquidambar
There is a population of mice that are undergoing natural selection. (Refer to the diagram showing three stages of mice and a predator.) What is happening in this picture?
The mice with fur color that blends into the environment survive and reproduce more.
All mice are equally likely to survive regardless of fur color.
The predator is choosing mice randomly without preference.
The population of mice is increasing due to lack of predators.
What would the mouse population look like if there were no predators?
The mouse population would increase significantly.
The mouse population would decrease rapidly.
The mouse population would remain unchanged.
The mouse population would go extinct.
Farmers spray pesticides on their plants to protect the plants from being eaten by insects. Some individual insects have a genetic mutation that makes them resistant to the pesticides. Which answer best describes how only a few resistant individuals made it so that the poison didn’t work anymore?
A. The resistant insects change the poison on the plants, making it safe for others.
B. The resistant insects eat the poison surface and leave the rest for others.
C. The resistant insects are able to survive to reproduce and create a population that is also resistant.
The diagram shows data on the evolution of horses. Horse Evolution - Recent Pleistocene: Equus (3 million years ago) - Pliocene: Pliohippus (7 million years ago) - Miocene: Merychippus (25 million years ago) - Oligocene: Miohippus (40 million years ago) - Eocene: Hyracotherium (60 million years ago) The data in the diagram is evidence that--
a new species of horse suddenly appeared
horses slowly developed over time
horses have similar stages of rapid development when they are babies
The following is a table with various organisms and their role in an ecosystem. Which of the following food chains are possible based on the table?
grass → redtail hawk → racoon
ocelot → jackrabbit → cattail
grass → jackrabbit → ocelot
A Texas Gulf Coast energy pyramid is shown with representative organisms at each trophic level. Which statement BEST describes the energy flow in this pyramid?
The trophic level represented by catfish and gobies receives energy directly from the producers.
The trophic level represented by shrimp and copepods receives energy directly from the tertiary consumers.
The trophic level represented by redfish and flounder receives energy directly from the secondary consumers.
What are the PRODUCTS of the cellular processes in these organelles?
I: glucose and carbon dioxide II: oxygen and water
I: water and carbon dioxide II: oxygen and glucose
