1

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

29% Answer Correctly

rain

snow or ice

ice

snow


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.


2

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

right atrium

aorta

left ventricle

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 not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

mass depends on the location where it is measured

mass is the amount of matter something has

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

weight depends on the location where it is measured


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.


4

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

67% Answer Correctly

conduction

reflection

convection

radiation


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.


5

In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:

64% Answer Correctly

simple sugars

complex carbohydrates

amino acids

glycerol and fatty acids


Solution

The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion.  Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
