Two animals that can be found at the Grand Canyon include the Abert’s and Kaibab squirrels. The Abert’s squirrel is found at the south rim of the canyon and in a few surrounding states. The Kaibab squirrel, however, can only be found at the canyon’s north rim, mainly on the Kaibab Plateau. The Kaibab squirrel is not found anywhere else in the world. Scientists believe that the squirrels are actually closely related and have developed separately as a result of geographic isolation. It is possible that the squirrels were separated by plateau erosion that separated the forests and isolated the Kaibab population. Some scientists are studying if the squirrels are now two separate species or if the Kaibab squirrel is simply a subspecies of the Abert’s squirrel. Separate species are unable to reproduce with each other. Which evidence would be used to support the claim that the squirrels are two separate species?

A
The Abert’s squirrel is found at the south rim of the canyon, but the Kaibab squirrel is found at the north rim of the canyon.
B
Geologists prove that plateau erosion is the main cause of forest separation in the region.
C
Scientists observe that Abert’s squirrels are slightly larger and have bushier tails than Kaibab squirrels do.
D
When placed together in pairs for study, no pair of Abert’s squirrel and Kaibab squirrel result in offspring.

Drinking too much water during exercise can cause a condition in which the concentration of sodium in the blood is lower than normal. What immediate response would the blood cells have in this condition?

A
Cells swell as water moves into them.
B
Cells swell as water moves out of them.
C
Cells shrivel as water moves out of them.
D
Cells shrivel as water moves into them.

How does the cell wall protect a plant cell?

A
The cell wall protects the cell by providing support and maintaining the cell's shape.
B
The cell wall protects the cell by storing food so the plant doesn't run out.
C
The cell wall is thin and flexible, which allows the cell to be moved without harming the organelles.
D
The cell wall is on the inside of the cell and serves to contain the contents of the cell.
32

Which factor can decrease the rate of a chemical reaction?

A
low activation energy
B
high pressure
C
low temperature
D
high concentration of enzyme
33

B
ATP is broken down and then not used again.
C
ATP is formed and remains unchanged in the chloroplast.
D
ATP is changed to ADP and then moved to the cytoplasm.

Some theories are developed from repeated testing of a single hypothesis. Cell theory, germ theory, and the theory of evolution all have developed from the testing of multiple related hypotheses. Which statement best explains why some theories develop this way?

A
A hypothesis tests many variables at once, which can lead to new hypotheses.
B
Multiple related hypotheses will become theories before a single hypothesis does.
C
Each scientist has used different wording when developing his or her hypothesis.
D
Each experiment reveals a different piece of information that is needed to develop the theory.
