The image here shows a grizzly bear consuming a salmon, which makes up a large part of its diet. If humans overfished in the area and removed a large number of salmon, what might happen to the grizzly population?

• The grizzly bear population would prey on humans for their food supply.

• The grizzly bear population would see an overall decrease without a main food supply.

• The grizzly population would see an overall increase due to greater availability of other food supplies.

• The grizzly population would see no change in population size due to a large variety of food types in their diet.

A student is playing on a seesaw at the playground. Which part of the seesaw acts as the fulcrum (the point that supports the lever)?

• The seat where the student sits

• It has a screw that holds it in place.

A student is pushing a heavy box up a ramp to load it into a truck. How does using the ramp (an inclined plane) make this task easier?

• It decreases the amount of force needed to lift the box by spreading the work over a longer distance.

• It makes the box move faster.

• It reduces the size of the box.
