1

Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.

72% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

secondary consumers

tertiary consumers

scavengers


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


2

The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

troposphere

thermosphere

stratosphere


Solution

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.


3

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

plasma

gas

liquid

solid


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


4

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

85% Answer Correctly

spiny

sentient

vertebrate

arthropod


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


5

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

82% Answer Correctly

insulators

conductors

refractors

reflectors


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.
