The most diverse kindgom of life is which of the following?
animals |
|
plants |
|
protists |
|
fungi |
Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi. (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)
The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?
mesosphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
thermosphere |
In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
proton |
|
neutron |
|
electron |
|
atom |
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?
evaporation |
|
photosynthesis |
|
sedimentation |
|
decomposition |
The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.
212°F is how many °C?
100 |
|
-100 |
|
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
