2

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

epiglottis

nasal cavity

trachea

pharynx


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 which prevents food from entering the airway.


3

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

hottest

coldest

farthest from the surface

closest to the surface


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.


4

Which of the following is true about species groups?

47% Answer Correctly

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres

a community is made up of a group of populations

an ecosystem is a biological population

a population is made up of a group of communities


Solution

population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.


5
