1

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

85% Answer Correctly

arthropod

spiny

vertebrate

sentient


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


2

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:

67% Answer Correctly

acidic

alkaline

neutral

water


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


3

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

28% Answer Correctly

snow

rain

ice

snow or ice


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.


4

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

thermosphere

troposphere

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.


5

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

protons

electron shells

electrons

atomic mass units


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
