1

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

51% Answer Correctly

sediment

liquid mantle

fault lines

water


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

veins

arterioles

capillaries

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


3

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

-23

27

37

41


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


4

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

56% Answer Correctly

cells

nuclei

chromosomes

chromatids


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


5

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

76% Answer Correctly

a food chain

a biome

a population

a community


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
