A scientist used a laboratory model to test the effect of radiation, or the sun, in heating land and water on Earth. To do this experiment, 200 mL of water and dry sand were placed in to 2 separate 250-mL beakers. Each beaker was then placed under the same lamp. Temperature readings were taken of each substance every 2 minutes for 8 minutes. Use the data table to answer the following questions.

What would you predict the temperature of the dry sand to be if the scientist took a reading after 10 minutes? What evidence supports your prediction?

In the practice of science, this type of reasoning is used to develop explanations.

Both male and female gametes are created during the process of meiosis. the formation of male gametes is called spermatogenesis. after telophase il of spermatogenesis, there would be are all genetically male gametes created that

This is a typical grassland food web. it is also a small picture of an important cycle on earth: the carbon cycle. describe how the carbon gets into this food web. a) bacteria and fungi, the decomposers, recycle carbon from dead organisms. b) carbon is found in the grass and is passed from one level to the next in this food web. eliminate c) all living things give off carbon dioxide as a by-product of respiration and it is released into the atmosphere. d) plants use carbon dioxide as a reactant in photosynthesis, to make usable chemical energy in the form of a sugar.
