Plant Physiology - Growth & Development Questions and Answers
Biology
Plant Physiology - Growth & DevelopmentA student notices that when bananas are kept near other fruits, the other fruits ripen faster. She wonders what causes the other fruits to ripen
more quickly and thinks that bananas must have an influence on the ripening process. She decides to perform an experiment. She gathers
bananas and apples and places an apple by itself at location A and an apple next to a banana at location B. She then waits for five days and
records how ripe each apple is.
What would be the next step in this experiment?
A make observations and draw a conclusion
B. construct a hypothesis and record data.
C. analyze the results and make a conclusion
D. ask questions and construct a hypothesis

Biology
Plant Physiology - Growth & DevelopmentThe Soviet Union and the United States nearly went to war with each other in
1962 when the United States discovered Soviet missiles on the island of
Cuba. This event, called the Cuban Missile Crisis, was resolved peacefully
after several days of negotiations between U.S. and Soviet leaders.
Which approach would a cultural historian take to the Cuban Missile Crisis?
A. Describe the tactics the United States might have used to destroy
the missiles in Cuba
B. Map the locations of all the missiles and launch silos in Cuba
during the crisis
C. Interview U.S. and Soviet leaders about differences in customs
that affected the negotiations
D. Examine the long-term effects of the Cuban Missile Crisis on the
U.S. and Soviet economies
