1

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

29% Answer Correctly

snow

snow or ice

ice

rain


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.


2

The first step in the water cycle is:

68% Answer Correctly

evaporation

infiltration

precipitation

reclamation


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


3

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

positive, negative

antigen, negative

negative, positive

positive, antigen


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.


4

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

65% Answer Correctly

pushes under

mixes with

cancels out

pushes above


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.


5

In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

54% Answer Correctly

cell membrane

cytoplasm

nucleus

cell wall


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.
