1

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

54% Answer Correctly

trachea

epiglottis

pharynx

nasal cavity


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, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.


2

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

66% Answer Correctly

medulla

brainstem

cerebrum

cerebellum


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).


3

The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

troposphere

stratosphere

mesosphere


Solution

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.


4

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

electrons

atomic mass units

electron shells

protons


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number. 


5

Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

blood type

blood oxygen capacity

Rh factor

negative or positive status


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
