Q: What developmental stage do alligators lack that most other amphibians have? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Young reptiles, like the baby alligator in Figure below , look like smaller versions of the adults. They don't have a larval stage as most amphibians do. Baby reptiles are able to move and search for food but are at high risk of predation. Adult reptiles rarely provide any care for their offspring once the eggs are laid. The only exceptions are female alligators and crocodiles. They defend their eggs and hatchlings from predators and help them reach the water. Choices: - Tadpole stage - metamorphosis - Egg Stage - larval stage A:
larval stage

Q: What consequence of a tornado is responsible for most injuries and deaths? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: A tornado only strikes a small area. But it can destroy everything in its path. Most injuries and deaths from tornadoes are caused by flying debris ( Figure below ). In the United States, an average of 90 people are killed by tornadoes each year. The most violent two percent of tornadoes account for 70% of the deaths by tornadoes. Choices: - catching debris - touring debris - falling debris - flying debris A:
flying debris

Q: On the atomic level, the dissolution of an ionic compound occurs when water interacts with the what in the crystal lattice? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The last property above requires some additional explanation. We are all familiar with the process of dissolution on a large scale. If you stir a spoonful of salt into a glass of water, the salt crystals are broken down and seem to disappear into the water. On the atomic level, the dissolution of an ionic compound occurs when water interacts with the ions in the crystal lattice, causing the lattice to break apart ( Figure below ):. Choices: - atoms - fractals - particles - ions A:
ions
