Question 17
Scientists wanted to study a particular aspect of Toyota Prius Hybrids.
In Study 1, each Toyota Prius received a full tank of unleaded gasoline. The car then drove 100 miles on the highway at 55 mph. The amount of remaining gasoline was measured.
In Study 2, the experiment was repeated, but the cars were given premium gasoline instead of unleaded. The amount of remaining gasoline was measured.

Question 20
Read the passage about polar bears.
Polar bears in the Arctic use the sea ice that covers the North Pole as a platform for hunting seals, their primary prey. Recent data suggest that Arctic sea ice may have thinned as much as 40% over the past 50 years. If polar ice continues to melt, it is likely that the polar bear will become extinct.

Here are the answers to your questions:
**Question 10:**
c. decrease in size.
(The absence of plants means a lack of food, which will lead to a decline in the rabbit population.)
**Question 11:**
c. The total amount of matter decreases over time.
(This statement is NOT true; matter is recycled, and the total amount does not decrease.)
**Question 12:**
d. Chemical pesticides cause a decline in the honeybee population.
(This directly indicates a negative impact on the ecosystem's equilibrium.)
**Question 13:**
c. clear-cutting a forest to use the lumber to make paper.
(Secondary succession occurs after a disturbance that doesn't eliminate all life, such as clear-cutting.)
**Question 14:**
b. eutrophication.
(Eutrophication is the process where nutrient enrichment leads to an increase in algae growth.)
**Question 15:**
d. short plants and grasses, because more sunlight will be able to reach the forest floor.
(After a fire, short plants and grasses often grow first in the newly exposed soil.)
