The descriptions below explain two ways that water is used by plants on a sunny day.I. In a process called transpiration, some liquid water in leaves changes to water vapor. The water vapor is released into the air through tiny pores in the leaves. This allows more liquid water from the soil to be pulled up the roots and stem to replace water lost from the leaves.II. Plants use some of this water in leaves in a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide break apart and recombine to form two new substances, oxygen and glucose.

A
In transpiration, because some of its properties change, water undergoes a physical change but keeps its identity. In photosynthesis, because its identity changes, water undergoes a chemical change.
B
In transpiration, because some of its properties change, water undergoes a chemical change but keeps its identity. In photosynthesis, because its identity changes, water undergoes a physical change.
C
In transpiration, because its physical properties change, water undergoes a physical change and loses its identity. In photosynthesis, because it keeps its identity, water undergoes a chemical change.
D
In transpiration, because its chemical properties change, water undergoes a chemical change and loses its identity. In photosynthesis, because it keeps its identity, water undergoes a physical change.

Tijuan mixed a solid and a liquid together in a beaker. He determined that a chemical change occurred.

A
ice mixed into warm oil, because the change of state that occurred when the ice melted cannot be reversed
B
baking soda mixed into vinegar, because the production of bubbles indicates that a new substance formed
C
sugar mixed into hot water, because the disappearance of solid indicates that the chemical identity of the sugar changed
D
sand mixed into water, because when sand was added the mass of the beaker increased

Venn diagrams are used for comparing and contrasting different topics. The overlapping sections show characteristics that the topics have in common, and the sections that are unique to each topic show the characteristics apply to only that topic.

Question illustration
A
Overlapping circles are labeled definite shape most dense at top, mid-level density at right, definite volume least dense at left, with the intersection labeled state of matter.
Option A
B
Overlapping circles are labeled definite shape most dense at top, mid-level density at right, least dense at left, with the intersection of all three labeled state of matter. The intersection of the top and right circles is labeled definite volume.
Option B
C
Overlapping circles are labeled definite shape most dense at top, definite volume mid-level density at right, least dense at left, with the intersection of all three labeled state of matter. The intersection of the left and right circles is labeled definite shape.
Option C
D
Overlapping circles are labeled definite shape least dense at top, definite mid-level density at right, most dense at left, with the intersection of all three labeled state of matter. The intersection of the left and right circles is labeled definite shape.
Option D
