If the air temperature is 90°F and the relative humidity is 70%, the apparent air temperature is
(1) 20°F
(3) 106°F
(2) 71°F
(4) 113°F
2 A student set up the experiment shown below to determine if radish seeds take in oxygen as they
germinate. Methylene blue is a chemical that is blue when oxygen is present, but is colorless when
oxygen is not present. Containers A and B each contained 200 mL of water and 10 drops of methylene
blue. Ten radish seeds were added to container A. Container B had no radish seeds.

The purpose of container B in this experiment is to
(1) serve as the control container
(2) serve as the experimental container
(3) show that seeds do not give off oxygen
(4) show that seeds do not give off carbon dioxide
