1

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

nervous

digestion

respiration

circulation


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


2

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

thermosphere


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.


3

A __________ is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. 

72% Answer Correctly

molecule

ion

isotope

neutron


Solution

A molecule is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. The molecules of elements consist of two or more similar atoms, the molecules of compounds consist of two or more different atoms.


4

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

electron

neutron

proton

atom


Solution

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.


5

Absolute zero is which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

0°C

the freezing point of oxygen

the freezing point of hydrogen

the coldest temperature possible in the universe


Solution

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
