I heard that milk in an opaque carton will spoil slowly, whereas milk in a translucent plastic jug (as most is) spoils more quickly. Supposedly, the light spoils the milk.

Sounded good at first, then I thought about it a little bit. The milk is rarely exposed to light, at least once I buy it. The light in the fridge turns off when I close the door. So how can a few moments' of exposure make that big of a difference? Unless it's the exposure at the store that's supposed to make the difference?

I'd like to see other people's answers, but my first guess is no.

Which is the best hypothesis for the scientific question How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?

A good hypothesis for the question "How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?" could be: "As light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis will also increase, up to a certain point, after which the rate will plateau or decline due to potential factors like chloroplast saturation or damage." This hypothesis is based on the understanding that light is a key factor in photosynthesis, and there are optimal levels of light intensity for maximum efficiency.

If 4 pounds of bananas cost 1.00 what is the unit rate?

To find the unit rate, divide the total cost by the total weight. For 4 pounds of bananas costing $1.00, the unit rate is $1.00 divided by 4 pounds, which equals $0.25 per pound. Therefore, the unit rate for bananas is $0.25 per pound.
