1

The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?

52% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

thermosphere

troposphere

stratosphere


Solution

In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).


2

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

65% Answer Correctly

brainstem

cerebellum

medulla

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).


3

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

alkaline

basic

acidic


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

Blood is created in:

68% Answer Correctly

bone marrow

the liver

the heart

red blood cells


Solution

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.


5

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

58% Answer Correctly

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

stratosphere, troposphere, 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.
