Question 2
A)Which experimental procedure would provide the best evidence for the effect of light on plant growth?(1 point)
Responses

Plant seeds of the same variety in the same conditions and vary only the amount of light, then measure plant growth.

Question 1:

The largest size of a snake would be expected in the situation of:

  • lots of space, large supply of food.

This environment would provide optimal conditions for growth, as both space and food are necessary for a snake to reach its maximum size.

Question 2:

The best experimental procedure to provide evidence for the effect of light on plant growth would be:

  • Plant seeds of the same variety in the same conditions and vary only the amount of light, then measure plant growth.

This approach ensures that all other variables are controlled, helping to isolate the effect of light on plant growth.

Question 3
A)A family raises a species of fish in a pond. At the end of each summer, the family sells the fully grown fish. One year, the family notices that the fish are smaller than they had been the previous year. Which statement best explains this observation?(1 point)
Responses

The type of fish in the pond this year tended to be smaller than the type of fish last year.
The type of fish in the pond this year tended to be smaller than the type of fish last year.

There was less food available in the pond this year than last year.
There was less food available in the pond this year than last year.

There were fewer fish this year than there were last year.

There was more space in the pond this year than last year.

Question 4
A)A species of plant grows poorly in the shadow of a building. Which environmental need is the plant most likely lacking? (1 point)

Question 3:

The statement that best explains why the fish are smaller than they had been the previous year is:

  • There was less food available in the pond this year than last year.

Insufficient food can limit growth, leading to smaller fish.

Question 4:

The environmental need that the plant is most likely lacking is:

  • sunlight.

Since the plant grows poorly in the shadow of a building, it indicates that it is not receiving enough sunlight to thrive.
