Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.36 Internal and External Structures of Organisms skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A scientist tests whether flexible joints in limbs help an animal climb. She compares two groups of the same species. Group J: normal flexible joints Group S: joints temporarily stiffened with a safe brace On a climbing course, Group J succeeds 88% of the time; Group S succeeds 29%. Which evidence best supports the claim that flexible limb joints help survival by improving climbing ability?

AClimbing is a behavior.

BAnimals with flexible joints succeed far more often than stiff-jointed animals on the same course.

CThe course is tall.

DThe brace is safe.

Solution & Explanation:A large drop in climbing success when joints are stiffened shows flexible joints are important for climbing performance, which can affect survival.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A study tests whether long roots help plants compete. Two plants grow in the same pot with limited water. Plant L has longer roots; Plant S has shorter roots.,,Science After 3 weeks, Plant L maintains higher leaf water content and produces more flowers.,Science "Which evidence best supports the claim that longer roots help survival and reproduction by accessing limited water?,A. Plant L has higher leaf water content and produces more flowers under the same limited-water conditions. | B. The pot is small. | C. Water is limited. | D. The plants are green.,A. Plant L has higher leaf water content and produces more flowers under the same limited-water conditions.,Higher water status and more flowers when roots are longer supports that longer roots access scarce water

Solution & Explanation:include the relevant options or examples named in the row context (A. Plant L has higher leaf water content and produces more flowers under the same limited-water conditions.; B. The pot is small.; C. Water is limited.; D....) as an answer-neutral comparison without indicating which is correct.,Grade 4 labeled diagram supporting internal and external structures of organisms.,ls-4-36-99-labeled-diagram.png,online_practice_skill_page,practice,Internal and External Structures of Organisms practice questions for Grade 4 science,Internal and External Structures of Organisms online practice | Grade 4 science Internal and External Structures of Organisms review | LS.4.36 practice questions | Life Science practice questions,Grade 4 Science: Internal and External Structures of Organisms Practice Questions,Internal and External Structures of Organisms Practice Questions for Grade 4,Internal and External Structures of Organisms Practice Questions for Grade 4 | FreeK12Practice,Grade 4 science practice: Internal and External Structures of Organisms.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A botanist tests whether leaf area affects sugar production in the same species. She removes half the leaves from some plants but leaves stems and roots unchanged. After a week, the half-leaf plants show reduced sugar levels in stems compared with controls. Which evidence best supports the claim that leaves help growth by making sugars for the plant?

AThe plants are watered.

BRemoving leaves changes how tall plants look.

CPlants with fewer leaves have lower sugar levels in stems than controls.

DLeaves are green.

Solution & Explanation:Lower sugar levels after removing leaves shows leaves are a major source of sugar production for growth.
