Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?

71% Answer Correctly

mantle

continents

outer core

inner core


Solution

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

empty, dense

dense, empty

cooler, warmer

warmer, cooler


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


3

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

mitochondria

Golgi apparatus

nucleus

cytoplasm


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


4

In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

54% Answer Correctly

cytoplasm

cell membrane

cell wall

nucleus


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.
