1

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

troposphere

thermosphere

stratosphere

mesosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


2

Which of blood component fights infection?

89% Answer Correctly

plasma

red blood cells

platelets

white blood cells


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


3

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

power

kinetic energy

work

a force


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


4

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

large intestine

pancreas

stomach

small intestine


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


5

The biosphere consists of which of the following?

87% Answer Correctly

lithosphere

hydrosphere

atmosphere

all of these


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).
