The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?
stratosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
mesosphere |
Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.
An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.
arthropod |
|
vertebrate |
|
sentient |
|
spiny |

The most diverse kindgom of life is which of the following?
protists |
|
animals |
|
plants |
|
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 universal recipient blood type can recieve any other blood type. Which blood type is the universal recipient?
O |
|
AB |
|
AB-positive |
|
O-negative |
Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?
concave lens |
|
convex mirror |
|
convex lens |
|
concave mirror |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
