1

The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.

75% Answer Correctly

trachea

diaphragm

pulmonary

bronchioles


Solution

The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.


2

Which of the following is true about species groups?

47% Answer Correctly

a population is made up of a group of communities

an ecosystem is a biological population

a community is made up of a group of populations

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres


Solution

population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.


3

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

reactants

side effects

results

products


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


4

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0

-100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


5

Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

63% Answer Correctly

opposite poles attract each other

same poles repel each other

opposite poles repel each other

all of these are untrue


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
