1

Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

phase transition

sublimation

cooling

heating


Solution

A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.


2

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

evaporation

transpiration

precipitation

both evaporation and transpiration


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


3

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

58% Answer Correctly

universal recipient status

blood type

universal donor status

postive or negative


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


4

In the foood chain, producers serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through:

47% Answer Correctly

autotrophs

chemosynthesis

decomposition

photosynthesis


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis


5

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

oxygen

sugar

mitochondria

water


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
