Yes, you are correct in your answers. Here's how to determine the correct answer for each question:
1. Male Red-winged Blackbirds display red wing patches to signal superiority to other males.
- The answer is a hypothesis, as it proposes a possible explanation for the behavior of male Red-winged Blackbirds.
2. Bees make honey.
- The answer is an observation, as it is a fact that bees make honey.
3. Male Red-winged Blackbirds compete for territories.
- The answer is an observation, as it describes a behavior that can be directly observed.
4. Bees eat honey when no other food (nectar) is available.
- The answer is a prediction, as it uses existing knowledge about bees to make an educated guess about their behavior.
5. A wound is infected.
- The answer is an observation, as it describes the state of a wound.
6. Infection is caused by bacteria.
- The answer is a hypothesis, as it proposes a possible cause for infection.
7. A male Red-winged Blackbird displays his red wing patches whenever other males enter its territory.
- The answer is a hypothesis, as it proposes a possible explanation for the behavior of male Red-winged Blackbirds.
8. Honey is the food store for the bee hive.
- The answer is an observation, as it describes the role of honey in the bee hive.
9. Keeping a wound clean of bacteria prevents infection.
- The answer is a prediction, as it suggests that a certain action (keeping a wound clean) will have a specific outcome (preventing infection).
