1

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

66% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

thermosphere

troposphere

mesosphere


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.


2

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the __________ to help break down protein.

77% Answer Correctly

stomach

large intestine

small intestine

mouth


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.


3

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {F}{d}\)

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


4

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

arterioles

capillaries

veins

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

solid

gas

plasma

liquid


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
