Effect of Environment on New Life Forms Assessment Questions (5)
23. Based on the graph below, which of the following statements is most accurate?
1.
A. Prior to 33 days the population of medium aliens was decreasing.
2.
B. After 33 days the population of medium aliens was decreasing.
3.
C. After 33 days none of the aliens changed form.
4.
D. After 33 days the total number of aliens in each state was unchanged.
24. Based on the graph below, if you chose an alien at random on day 20, what form would it
most likely be in?
1.
A. Thin
2.
B. Medium
3.
C. Thick
4.
D. All three are equally probable
25. Based on your findings, which theory about alien thickness seems most valid or most
accurate?
1.
A. Alien thickness is mainly affected by sunlight. The thickness may be used
as a way to shield out the sunlight.
2.
B. Alien thickness is mainly affected by temperature. This may be because
aliens become dehydrated (lose water) at higher temperatures and become thinner.
3.
C. Alien thickness is mainly affected by temperature. The greater thickness at
lower temperatures may be used as a way to stay warmer in colder weather.
4.
D. Alien thickness seems to change at random. It does not seem to be affected
by the environment.
26. Based on the data you found, about how many of the 100 aliens would become thin if the
temperature were 35°C?
1.
A. fewer than 10
2.
B. about 50
3.
C. about 80
4.
D. more than 90
27. When scientists are doing research to determine how the environment affects a life form,
it often takes many years to reach a conclusion. Why do you think that is the case?
1.
A. Many environmental factors must be considered (water, light, and
temperature were just three that were investigated in this simulation).
2.
B. Many tests must be performed because variables need to be tested one at a
time (first test for water effects, then test for light effects, etc.).
3.
C. Some effects take a long time to become noticed, so the experiments often
have to take place over long periods of time.
4.
D. All of the above.

cells in her legs produce excess lactic acid, causing a burning sensation in her
legs.
