2

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. 

63% Answer Correctly

high-altitude

low-altitude

all-altitude

mid-altitude


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


3

The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water

rock

minerals

frozen methane, ammonia, and water


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.


4

Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

products

components

fuel

reactants


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


5

Plant cells are surrounded by:

64% Answer Correctly

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

only a cell membrane

only a cell wall

a cell membrane and a cell wall


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
