1

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

67% Answer Correctly

troposphere

mesosphere

thermosphere

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.


2

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

digestive

circulatory

reproductive

nervous


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.


3

These clouds grow upward and can develop into cumulonimbus or thunderstorm clouds.

69% Answer Correctly

stratus clouds

nimbus clouds

cumulus clouds

cirrus clouds


Solution

Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.


4

Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

products

components

reactants

fuel


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


5

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

right atrium

pulmonary vein

left ventricle

aorta


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.
