1

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

81% Answer Correctly

solid

gas

liquid

plasma


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.


2

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

fair

hot

stormy

freezing


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


3

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

hottest

closest to the surface

coldest

farthest from the surface


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.


4

Most digestion takes place where?

65% Answer Correctly

small intestine

stomach

mouth

large intestine


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


5

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

64% Answer Correctly

sugars

protein

starches

fat


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
