Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Almost all plants make food by photosynthesis. Only about 1 percent of the estimated 300,000 species of plants have lost the ability to photosynthesize. These other species are consumers, many of them predators. How do plants prey on other organisms? The Venus fly trap in Figure below shows one way this occurs. Q: What is the process by which almost all plants make food? Choices: - reactions - digestion - melting - photosynthesis A:
Ans: photosynthesis

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Geology is the study of the solid Earth. Geologists study how rocks and minerals form. The way mountains rise up is part of geology. The way mountains erode away is another part. Geologists also study fossils and Earth's history. There are many other branches of geology. There is so much to know about our home planet that most geologists become specialists in one area. For example, a mineralogist studies minerals ( Figure below ). Q: What branch of science is the study of the solid earth? Choices: - palentology - ecology - biology - geology A:
Ans: geology

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Organisms that live in a hypotonic environment such as freshwater, need a way to prevent their cells from taking in too much water by osmosis. A contractile vacuole is a type of vacuole that removes excess water from a cell. Freshwater protists, such as the paramecia shown in Figure below , have a contractile vacuole. The vacuole is surrounded by several canals, which absorb water by osmosis from the cytoplasm. After the canals fill with water, the water is pumped into the vacuole. When the vacuole is full, it pushes the water out of the cell through a pore. Other protists, such as members of the genus Amoeba , have contractile vacuoles that move to the surface of the cell when full and release the water into the environment. Q: Organisms that live in freshwater environments often possess a contractile vacuole that prevents cells from taking in too much water through what process? Choices: - electrolysis - glycolysis - hemostasis - osmosis A:
Ans:
osmosis
