(01.01 LC) What distinguishes science from other disciplines that do not use scientific methods? (3 points)

(02.05 HC) After studying the historical concentrations of carbon in the oceans for several years, scientists noticed the trend in carbon availability shown in the graph. Based upon this information, they predicted that this pattern would continue. © NOAA PMEL Carbon (Program https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/co2/file/Hawaii+Carbon+Dioxide+Time-Series) Based upon the observed data, what is the most valid conclusion that can be made concerning how ocean carbon levels are changing? (3 points)

(01.03 MC) Shrimp are primary consumers that feed on photosynthetic organisms. Why would these organisms likely be found only in shallow ocean zones? (3 points)

(01.03 MC) Due to the high pressure in this zone, most organisms do not have swim bladders but use other adaptations to maintain neutral buoyancy. In which zone does this occur? (3 points)

(01.03 MC)If a forensic scientist is trying to identify a specific type of white powder, what is one physical test they might do?

(01.04 LC) What property of water results from the high cohesion between water molecules? (3 points)

(01.06 MC)Evidence for a trial was obtained without a warrant. What would the judge rule about this evidence?

(01.03 MC) During upwelling, nutrient-rich water rises to the surface. How would this most likely affect the biotic components of the ecosystems where the upwelling is taking place? (3 points)

(01.03 HC) The Marianas trench contains Challenger Deep, the deepest point in the ocean floor that we know of today. Challenger Deep is located over 11,000 meters below the ocean surface. What ocean zone would be located just above the floor of Challenger Deep? (3 points)

(01.02 HC) Scientists have believed for many years that water pressure increases as water depth increases. What experimental method would best test this hypothesis, and why? (3 points)
