1

A transition zone between two air masses is called:

71% Answer Correctly

fog

front

boundary

thunderstorm


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


2

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

83% Answer Correctly

deoxygenate blood

add carbon dioxide

transport oxygen

transport nutrients


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


3

Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

atomic weight

number of electron shells

atomic number

atomic mass


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


4

In the food chain, consumers are classified as which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

tertiary

all of these

primary

secondary


Solution

Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.


5

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

90°

angle of incidence

focal point

refractive index


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
