6. Given this picture:

Lee uses a microscope during science class. He sees this organism in a drop of water. Which organism did he most likely see?

ParameciumVorticellaAmoebaEuglena

7. The diagram below shows a simple food chain.

Which of the following animals might compete with the coyote in this food chain?

8. Use the information below to answer the question. Seawater contains a number of different salts. The water can be separated by a process called distillation. A simple distillation setup is shown below.

The water in the flask evaporates. Water vapor (gas) rises, leaving the salt in the flask. The water vapor is cooled in the condensing tube and drips into the beaker. Why does salt remain in the flask?

Salt becomes water after it is heated.Salt is too heavy to become a vapor (gas).Salt is attracted to heat.Salt does not evaporate.
