What type of cloud is responsible for fog?
cirrus |
|
stratus |
|
cumulus |
|
cumulonimbus |
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.
The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?
stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.
Meteoroids, meteors and meteorites are categorized based on which of the following?
their location |
|
their density |
|
their temperature |
|
their size |
Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:
similarly complex |
|
none of these |
|
less complex |
|
more complex |
Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.
Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?
aorta |
|
pulmonary vein |
|
left ventricle |
|
right atrium |
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.
