1

An electrically charged atom is a(n):

49% Answer Correctly

electron

neutron

proton

ion


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


2

Examples of secondary consumers include:

52% Answer Correctly

plankton

wolves

chickens

grasshoppers


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


3

Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?

64% Answer Correctly

cerebellum

medulla

spinal cord

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


4

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

71% Answer Correctly

atmosphere

lithosphere

geosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


5

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

mass depends on the location where it is measured

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

mass is the amount of matter something has

weight depends on the location where it is measured


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
