1

I biome is made up of naturally occurring flora and fauna.  Fauna is which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

animals

minerals

habitats

plants


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).


2

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

warm front

stationary front

temperate front

cold front 


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


3

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

pharynx

epiglottis

nasal cavity

trachea


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.


4

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

fewer

double the number of

equal numbers of

more


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


5

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

74% Answer Correctly

convection

refraction

reflection

conduction


Solution

Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
