In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?
domains |
|
species |
|
classes |
|
kingdoms |

An asteroid belt holds many of the asteroids in our solar system. It is located between the orbits of which planets?
Mars and Earth |

Mercury and Venus |
|
Mars and Jupiter |
|
Jupiter and Saturn |
The solar system also contains over a million rocky fragments of at least 1km in diameter called asteroids as well as millions more with smaller diameters. Many of these asteroids are an asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?
farthest from the surface |
|
hottest |
|
closest to the surface |
|
coldest |
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.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
none of these |
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
Which of these is not a component of blood?
red blood cells |
|
plasma |
|
marrow |
|
white blood cells |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
