1

Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?

58% Answer Correctly

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere


Solution

The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.


2

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

stomach

small intestine

large intestine

pancreas


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


3

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

27

37

-23

41


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


4

The connective tissue that connects bones to other bones at joints is called:

71% Answer Correctly

cartilage

ligaments

knuckles

tendons


Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

65% Answer Correctly

first

fourth

third

second


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.
