1

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

solid

plasma

gas

liquid


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


2

The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?

52% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

thermosphere

stratosphere

troposphere


Solution

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).


3

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

72% Answer Correctly

capillaries

platelets

valves

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


4

What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?

70% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebrum

cerebellum

brainstem


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


5

In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

54% Answer Correctly

cytoplasm

cell wall

cell membrane

nucleus


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.
