Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

coldest

closest to the surface

hottest

farthest from the surface


Solution

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.


2

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

62% Answer Correctly

4

Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?

48% Answer Correctly

a magnitude and a direction

a magnitude and a polarity

a direction only

a magnitude only


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

56% Answer Correctly

cells

chromosomes

chromatids
