Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?

70% Answer Correctly

low-altitude

ground level

mid-altitude

high-altitude


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.

During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?

74% Answer Correctly

water

fats

salt

minerals


Solution

Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.


3

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

photosynthesis

anaerobic respiration

all of these

aerobic respiration


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


4

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

50% Answer Correctly

32°F

273K

0°C

0°F


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.


5

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

54% Answer Correctly

red

white

plasma

platelets


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.
