plant (left). What are the bubbles?
This apparatus was used by a student, in a brightly lit room, to measure the rate of water
loss from a leafy shoot. He measured how far the bubble moved in five minutes. He
measured this three times.
The results are shown in the table.

- Students filled three identical flasks with water and placed elodea, a type of aquatic plant, in each flask. The students adjusted the light intensity that each plant received by wrapping some of the flasks in either screen mesh or foil. The screen mesh allowed only some light to pass through, and the foil allowed no light to pass through. The students recorded the amount of dissolved oxygen, in milligrams per liter, in each flask at the start of the experiment and after twelve hours of light exposure. The data are shown in the table. Drag a label corresponding to a treatment to the correct column header in the table to indicate the beaker from which each piece of data was most likely collected.

He came back later and saw that the volume of the tea had decreased to about half of what he put in the pot. Once the tea cooled, he tasted it. It was much sweeter than before he heated it. Which statement explains what happened? O A. Heating the tea changed the taste of the sugar. So, the tea tastes sweeter. O B. Heating caused some of the tea to evaporate and the sugar to melt. Now there is the same amount of sugar but less liquid, so it tastes sweeter. O C. The liquid sugar changed state to a solid. So, the tea tastes sweeter. D. The sugar particles began to move quickly and this changed them chemically. Now there is a different substance in the tea, so it tastes sweeter.arrow_forward
