1

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

65% Answer Correctly

pushes above

mixes with

cancels out

pushes under


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.


2

Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

62% Answer Correctly

opposite poles attract each other

opposite poles repel each other

all of these are untrue

same poles repel each other


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.


3

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

transport nutrients

add carbon dioxide

transport oxygen

deoxygenate blood


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


4

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

reactants

products

side effects

results


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


5

The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?

65% Answer Correctly

liver

small intestine

pancreas

all of these are correct


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
