Read the passage below to answer question numbers 11 to 16.

6. Water is essential in the process of photosynthesis. In plants, water is first
absorbed in the roots and is conducted all the way to the leaves where
photosynthesis primarily occurs. This conduction process occurs through
the xylem vessels of plants.
There are two forces that participate in this water conduction: adhesion and
cohesion. Adhesion refers to the attractive forces between the water
molecules and the walls of the xylem vessels, while cohesion refers to the
attractive forces among water molecules. Suppose an air bubble is present in
a xylem vessel, the conduction of water will be unable to proceed. What is
the reason behind this phenomenon?
A group of scientists were studying the growth of bacteria. It is their hope
that they will be able to induce the bacteria to grow and metabolize oil as a
food source. They have taken three samples of Escherichia coli and are
growing them on nutrient agar plates. The scientists used three conditions to
test the E. coli bacteria. The first group was grown at 37°C on plain nutrient
agar plates. The second group was grown at 37°C on plain nutrient agar
plates with a 5% oil solution. The third group was grown at 37°C on plain
nutrient agar plates with a 20% oil solution. The results of the experiment
are listed in the graph below.

A. The air bubble interrupts the cohesive forces among the water molecules.
It cuts the continuous stream of water, making it unable to continually flow.

B. The air bubble interrupts the adhesive forces between the walls of the
xylem vessels and the water molecules.

C. The air bubble is less dense than water, therefore impeding the
continuous flow of water.

D. The air bubble creates a pocket of space that eventually kills the xylem
cells, thus preventing it from resuming water conduction.

14. What is the best explanation for why the E.coli grew on the 5% oil plate
but not the 20% oil plate?
A. The bacteria are used to an environment with 5% oil and not 20% oil. C. Plant cells maintain their size, and the solution will become darker.

B. The bacteria were able to mutate to tolerate a slightly oily environment of D. Plant cells will burst, causing the solution to reduce its color
5% oil, providing it had other nutrients available and the 20% had far too

less oil was present.

For me, as for the others, The Net is becoming a universal medium, the

Reading, explains Wolf, is not an instinctive skill for human beings. It’s not
etched into our genes the way speech is. We have to teach our minds how to
translate the symbolic characters we see into the language we understand.
And the media or other technologies we use in learning and practicing the
craft of reading play an important part in shaping the neural circuits inside
our brains. Experiments demostrate the readers of ideograms, such as
Chinese, develop a mental circuitry for reading that is very different from
the circuitry found in those of us whose written language employs an
alphabet. The variations extend across many regions of the brain, including
those trhat govern such essential cognitive functions as memory and the
interpretation of visual and auditory stimuli. We can expect as well that
circuits woven by our use of the Net will be different from those woven by
our reading of books and other printed works.
