62% Answer Correctly

anaphase

interphase

megaphase

3

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

trachea

nasal cavity

pharynx

epiglottis


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.

5

The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

thermosphere


Solution

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.
