Question 9 (1 point)
Which best explains how insects help flowering plants in reproduction?



Question 9 options:

Insects help keep predators, like birds, away from flowers' seeds


Insects store food in flowers, providing nutrients flowers need to make seeds.


Crawling insects cause pollen to fall on the ground beneath flowering plants.


As they fly, insects spread pollen that sticks to their bodies from the flowers.

Jaime is picking out a skillet for his mother as a birthday present. He is looking at two skillets, one with a plastic handle and one with a metal handle. Thinking just about safety, which handle would you recommend to Jaime and why?

Question 10 options:

The metal handle, because it will last longer.


The plastic handle, because it is light weight


The metal handle, because it is a good conductor


The plastic handle, because it is a good insulator.

Fungi is a very simple eukaryotic organism. Unlike plants and some protists, fungi is a consumer. This example lives in/on a tree. How is this fungus consuming food in the picture?







Question 11 options:

The roots of the fungus can absorb nutrients from the soil.


The hyphae, or feeding structures, reach deep into the wood to obtain nutrients.



The white cap of the fungus traps small insects and other organisms as they pass by.



The cap of the fungus can absorb chemicals from the air, like carbon and oxygen, and use the gases to make food.
