Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

producers

simple nutrients

complex carbohydrates

carrion


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

animalia

eukaryota

bacteria

archaea


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


3

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

creates

filters

oxygenates


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.

The Sun is a __________-type main-sequence star.

64% Answer Correctly

D

S

E

G


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.


5

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?

75% Answer Correctly

occluded

warm 

cold

stationary


Solution

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.
