As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

65% Answer Correctly

mixes with

pushes above

pushes under

cancels out


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.


3

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

more complex

similarly complex

none of these

less complex


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.


4

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

bone

exoskeleton

endoskeleton

vertebrate


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.


5

55% Answer Correctly

atrium, ventricle

ventricle, atrium

atrium, atrium

ventricle, ventricle
