Read the following excerpt and answer the question:

Emilie Dressaire, professor at Trinity College (Hartford, CT), and her colleague Marcus Roper (UCLA) discovered that mushrooms create their own microclimates. They create their own moisture through evaporation, which is when a liquid turns into a gas. Heat energy is used in this process, leaving the mushrooms cool and moist.

Use your own words to summarize the effect of thermal energy on a mushroom's environment and how this sustains life. (4 points)

Leachate is produced as:


A) Rainwater absorbs water-soluble compounds in layers of trash


B)Toxic waste is emptied into ponds and streams


C) Metal comes into contact with water


D) Plastic flows into ponds and streams

As you move to a higher elevation (e.g. in the mountains), the air pressure drops significantly. In turn...



the temperature of water increases and the density goes up as well.


the temperature of water drops and the density of it goes down as well.


the evaporation rate of water increases at all temperatures causing an increase in volume.


the evaporation rate of water decreases at all temperatures causing a decrease in volume.

Memories of a Memory
Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Describe the amphibian life cycle. Include the different phases and traits of each phase.

Of the 8.3 billion metric tons produced, 6.3 billion metric tons have become plastic waste. Of that, only nine percent has been recycled. The vast majority—79 percent—is accumulating in landfills or sloughing off in the natural environment as litter. Meaning: at some point, much of it ends up in the oceans, the final sink. True False
