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

61% Answer Correctly

frozen methane, ammonia, and water

rock

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water

minerals


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.

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 4 is:

71% Answer Correctly

neutral

acidic

basic

alkaline


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


4

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

species

domains

kingdoms

classes


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


5
