2

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

photosynthesis

all of these

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration


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.


3

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

temperate front

stationary front

warm front

cold front 


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


4

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

67% Answer Correctly

conduction

radiation

convection

reflection


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.


5

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

aorta

arterioles

capillaries

veins


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
