Carbohydrates are found in:

88% Answer Correctly

animal sources

food additives

vegetable oils

sugars and starches


Solution

Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).


2

The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.

57% Answer Correctly

capillaries

arteries

red blood cells

veins


Solution

Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.


3

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

51% Answer Correctly

water

liquid mantle

sediment

fault lines


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.


4

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

megaphase

interphase

anaphase

cytokinesis


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.


5

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

58% Answer Correctly

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere


Solution

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