1

The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?

53% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

troposphere

thermosphere

mesosphere


Solution

In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).


2

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

less complex

none of these

more complex

similarly complex


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.


3

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

work

power

a force

kinetic energy


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


4

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

double the number of

more

fewer

equal numbers of


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


5

The biosphere consists of which of the following?

87% Answer Correctly

atmosphere

all of these

lithosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
