1

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).


2

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

72% Answer Correctly

valves

capillaries

atria

platelets


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


3

Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?

65% Answer Correctly

primary consumers and omnivores

herbivores and autotrophs

scavengers and decomposers

producers and tertiary consumers


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.


4

Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?

64% Answer Correctly

medulla

spinal cord

cerebellum

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


5

All surface water is part of the:

76% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

atmosphere

geosphere

lithosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
