Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

closest to the surface

farthest from the surface

hottest

coldest


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.

3

Which of the following is true about species groups?

46% Answer Correctly

an ecosystem is a biological population

a community is made up of a group of populations

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres

a population is made up of a group of communities


Solution

population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.


4

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration

all of these

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.


5

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

0

-32

32

16


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
