1

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:

61% Answer Correctly

convection

radiation

conduction

diffusion


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee. 


2

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

55% Answer Correctly

red

white

platelets

plasma


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


3

In the food chain, consumers are classified as which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

tertiary

all of these

secondary

primary


Solution

Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.


4

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

66% Answer Correctly

pushes under

cancels out

pushes above

mixes with


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.


5

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

all of these

aerobic respiration

anaerobic respiration

photosynthesis


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
