2

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% 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.


3

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

transitional

kinetic

potential

gravitational


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


4

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

all of these

photosynthesis

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


5

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

85% Answer Correctly

radiation

electricity

convection

conduction


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.
