1

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

refractive index

angle of incidence

focal point

90°


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


2

Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.

72% Answer Correctly

scavengers

secondary consumers

tertiary consumers

primary consumers


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


3

Which of blood component fights infection?

89% Answer Correctly

plasma

platelets

white blood cells

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.


4

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. 

63% Answer Correctly

high-altitude

low-altitude

mid-altitude

all-altitude


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


5

Absolute zero is which of the following?

57% Answer Correctly

the freezing point of hydrogen

0°C

the freezing point of oxygen

the coldest temperature possible in the universe


Solution

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
