  1. On the MAP Growth Science test, which domain includes understanding of cells, heredity, and ecosystems?

    Answer: Life Science

    Life Science covers biological topics including cells, organisms, heredity (genetics), and ecosystems (ecological interactions).

  2. Which of the following is an example of a physical change?

    Answer: Ice melting into water

    Ice melting is a physical change because the substance (water, H2O) remains the same — only the state of matter changes from solid to liquid.

  3. What is the function of chlorophyll in plants?

    Answer: To absorb sunlight for photosynthesis

    Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plant cells that absorbs light energy (primarily red and blue wavelengths) to power photosynthesis.

  4. A student tests whether plants grow faster with fertilizer. The plants receiving no fertilizer are the:

    Answer: Control group

    The control group receives no treatment (no fertilizer) and serves as the baseline for comparison against the experimental group.

  5. Which of the following describes a food chain where energy flows correctly?

    Answer: Grass to Grasshopper to Frog to Snake to Hawk

    Energy flows from producers (Grass) to primary consumers (Grasshopper) to secondary consumers (Frog) to tertiary consumers (Snake) to apex predators (Hawk).

  6. What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

    Answer: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force

    Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia) states that objects maintain their state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force.
