1

Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?

43% Answer Correctly

absolute zero

0K

32°F

-273°C


Solution

Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.


2

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

coldest

farthest from the surface

closest to the surface

hottest


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.

Examples of primary consumers include:

54% Answer Correctly

rats

cows

all of these

fish


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


4

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

66% Answer Correctly

pushes above

cancels out

pushes under

mixes with


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.


5

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

63% Answer Correctly

diaphragms

capillaries

blood cells

bronchioles


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
