1

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

species

classes

domains

kingdoms


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


2

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

aorta

left ventricle

right atrium

pulmonary vein


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


3

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

family

domain

genus

species


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.


4

In the food chain, bacteria and fungi convert the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. Bacteria and fungi are:

86% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

scavengers

decomposers

producers


Solution

Decomposers (saprotrophs) are organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients.


5

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

troposphere

mesosphere

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.
