1

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

geosphere

hydrosphere

lithosphere

atmosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


2

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

electron shells

electrons

atomic mass units

protons


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number. 


3

Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?

52% Answer Correctly

store minerals

protect bodily organs

store vitamins

produce blood cells


Solution

Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.


4

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

122

58

-10

10


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


5

The rate of vibration of sound is called:

83% Answer Correctly

amplitude

volume

frequency

period


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
