Question Title

* 1. What process transfers thermal energy through matter directly from particle to particle?

Question Title

* 2. How many calories does someone need to eliminate from their diet in order to lose weight?
First, they should calculate their basal metabolic rate (BMR) which identifies how many calories
they burn each day when at complete rest. After calculating their BMR, they can then use an
additional formula to factor in their level of activity. There are separate BMR formulas for men
and women, and these formulas require three variables: age, height, and current weight. Here is
BMR formula for women: BMR = 655 + (4.35 × W) × (4.7 x H) − (4.7 × A)
W = Weight in pounds
H = Height in inches
A = Age
According to the formula, which of the following will result in a lower BMR?

* 3. Tonisha is conducting an experiment to determine the effects of watering clover with liquid
Vitamin B. One week into her experiment the average clover plant from her control group was
17.3 millimeters tall.
(1 decimeter = 100 millimeters)
(1 meter = 10 decimeters)
Convert this height measurement into meters:

Question Title

* 4. What is Probability?

Question Title

* 5. Many individuals concerned with their carbon footprint are excited about the availability of
hybrid electric vehicles. These cars are much more efficient in their use of fossil fuels than
similarly sized internal combustion automobiles. However, hybrid electric vehicles do come with

an environmental price tag. Their construction uses scarce metals, such as neodymium, lithium
and lanthanum. Additionally, mining these elements involves pumping acids into deep boreholes
to dissolve the surrounding rock and then removing the acid and mineral slurry. Such extraction
processes are a type of surface mining, which have severe environmental impacts such as
erosion, acid mine drainage, water pollution, and disruption of habitat.
Which sentence from the passage above best supports the idea that driving a hybrid electric
vehicle burns gasoline?
“Many individuals concerned with their carbon footprint are excited about the availability of
hybrid electric vehicles.”
“These cars are much more efficient in their use of fossil fuels than similarly sized
internal combustion automobiles.”
“However, hybrid electric vehicles do come with an environmental price tag”
“Such extraction processes are a type of surface mining, which have severe environmental
impacts such as erosion, acid mine drainage, water pollution, and disruption of habitat.”
-In a lab experiment designed to test the rate at which plants grow under artificial light, the kind
of light used is which type of variable?

Question Title

* 6. A student hypothesizes that eating a teaspoon of raw honey will prevent sneezing in people
who are allergic to pollen. She runs an experiment to test her hypothesis. What is the
dependent variable?

Question Title

* 7. A cyclist is riding over a hill. At what point is his potential energy greatest?

Question Title

* 8. Which characteristics do most plants have in common?

Question Title

* 9. Purple flowers, yellow seeds and inflated seed pods are all dominant traits in pea plants. The
recessive traits being white flowers, green seeds and constricted seed pods. If a plant that is
homozygous dominant for flower color is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for flower
color, what percentage of the offspring will have yellow flowers?
