troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

Solution

The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.

2

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

only a cell membrane

only a cell wall

a cell membrane and a cell wall

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall
Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.

3

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle
Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.

4

Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?

65% Answer Correctly

producers and tertiary consumers

primary consumers and omnivores

scavengers and decomposers

herbivores and autotrophs
Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.
