1

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

troposphere

thermosphere

mesosphere

stratosphere


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.


2

Antigens in the blood determine:

53% Answer Correctly

negative or positive status

Rh factor

blood oxygen capacity

blood type


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


3

Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

a magnitude and a direction

a magnitude and a polarity

a direction only

a magnitude only


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:

69% Answer Correctly

carbohydrates

micronutrients

macronutrients

proteins


Solution

Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.


5

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, low

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

oxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
