1

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

carrion

producers

simple nutrients

complex carbohydrates


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


2

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

62% Answer Correctly

capillaries

bronchioles

blood cells

diaphragms


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.


3

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle


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.


4

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

farthest from the surface

hottest

closest to the surface

coldest


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

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

65% Answer Correctly

starches

sugars

fat

protein


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
