1

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

respiration

circulation

nervous

digestion


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


2

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

domain

species

family

genus


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.


3

Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?

57% Answer Correctly

convex mirror

concave lens

concave mirror

convex lens


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.


4

All surface water is part of the:

76% Answer Correctly

atmosphere

geosphere

lithosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


5

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

inherent

gravitational

kinetic

potential


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.
