While cleaning out his fish tanks, Alphonse sees that the goldfish in the slightly warmer tank by the window are larger than the goldfish in the cooler tank against the wall. If he wanted to design an experiment about his observation using the scientific method, what question might he ask? (1 point) Responses Do fish like windows? Do fish like windows? Does cleaning out fish tanks make fish happy? Does cleaning out fish tanks make fish happy? Does water temperature impact fish growth? Does water temperature impact fish growth? Do differences in water temperature make fish sleepy?

The best question Alphonse might ask, based on his observation, is: Does water temperature impact fish growth? This question directly addresses the differences in size of the goldfish in relation to the different temperatures in the tanks.

Portia is creating a scientific experiment for her biology class. She is using the scientific method to plan out the steps of the experiment. What is Portia MOST LIKELY trying to accomplish through her experiment? (1 point) Responses to discover an answer to her question that is supported by evidence to discover an answer to her question that is supported by evidence to discover an answer to her question that is NOT supported by evidence to discover an answer to her question that is NOT supported by evidence to prove that her idea is correct even though the evidence doesn’t support her to prove that her idea is correct even though the evidence doesn’t support her to make an entirely new observation about what she is studying to make an entirely new observation about what she is studying

Portia is MOST LIKELY trying to discover an answer to her question that is supported by evidence. The scientific method aims to provide a systematic approach to inquiry, where conclusions are drawn based on empirical evidence collected during the experiment.

Ophelia is sick with a virus. She is coughing and sneezing all over her room. What MOST LIKELY happens to the virus once it lands on her desk or carpet? (1 point) Responses It lives for a long time. It lives for a long time. It reproduces to make more copies of itself. It reproduces to make more copies of itself. It dies pretty quickly. It dies pretty quickly. It can no longer be detected by an antigen test.

The most likely response is: It dies pretty quickly. Viruses can survive for varying lengths of time on surfaces, but many viruses, including those that cause common colds and flu, typically do not live long outside a host and can die relatively quickly on surfaces like desks or carpets.

Jenny just finished an experiment to test the effects of light on mushroom growth. She learned that mushrooms grow taller when exposed to small amounts of light. If Jenny wanted to use these results to make a new hypothesis or prediction, what would she MOST likely say? (1 point) Responses Apples grow rounder when exposed to larger amounts of light. Apples grow rounder when exposed to larger amounts of light. Mushrooms taste better when allowed to grow for a longer period of time before being picked. Mushrooms taste better when allowed to grow for a longer period of time before being picked. Mushrooms grow taller when exposed to small amounts of blue light, than they do when exposed to small amounts of red light. Mushrooms grow taller when exposed to small amounts of blue light, than they do when exposed to small amounts of red light. Mushrooms are a brighter shade of white when given lots of water. Mushrooms are a brighter shade of white when given lots of water.

The hypothesis or prediction that Jenny would MOST likely say is: Mushrooms grow taller when exposed to small amounts of blue light, than they do when exposed to small amounts of red light. This statement builds on her previous findings about light and mushroom growth, focusing on the specific type of light and its potential effects.

After spending a week on vacation, William goes to the doctor and is diagnosed with athlete’s foot. What might William’s doctor prescribe to treat his infection? (1 point) Responses a viral antibody test a viral antibody test an antibiotic an antibiotic a vaccine a vaccine an antifungal medication an antifungal medication

William’s doctor would most likely prescribe an antifungal medication to treat his athlete's foot, as athlete's foot is a fungal infection.
