The subject of the sentence is 'Each,' an indefinite pronoun that is always singular, so it takes a singular verb. The phrase 'of the students' does not change the number of the subject. In the present tense, a singular subject takes 'is.'
The discount is 25% of 800, which equals 200 pesos. Subtracting the discount from the original price gives 800 - 200 = 600 pesos. Equivalently, the sale price is 75% of 800.
In photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose, and oxygen is released as a by-product. The oxygen comes from the splitting of water molecules in the light-dependent reactions. Carbon dioxide is taken in, not released.

The probability that the first ball is red is 5/8, and with one red removed the second is 4/7. Multiplying gives 20/56, which simplifies to 5/14. Because drawing is without replacement, the second probability changes.
A Tt × Tt cross yields genotypes TT, Tt, Tt, and tt in equal proportions. Only tt produces the recessive short phenotype, so 1 of 4 offspring, or 1/4, is expected to be short.
Article III of the 1987 Constitution is titled the Bill of Rights and guarantees civil liberties such as due process and freedom of speech. Article I covers the national territory and Article II the declaration of principles.

Evaporation occurs faster when the air near the wet surface is replaced by drier air. Wind carries water vapor away, keeping the humidity near the towel lower and allowing more water to evaporate.
The equation log₂ x = 5 means that 2 raised to the fifth power equals x. Since 2⁵ = 32, the value of x is 32.
The pH scale is logarithmic, so each one-unit decrease represents a tenfold increase in acidity. A difference of two pH units therefore means 10², or 100 times, greater acidity.
