Carbohydrates are found in:

89% Answer Correctly

food additives

animal sources

vegetable oils

sugars and starches


Solution

2

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

valves

atria

aorta

ventricles


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


3

The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

stratosphere

mesosphere

troposphere


Solution

Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.


4

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

63% Answer Correctly

stratus

cumulonimbus

cirrus

cumulus


Solution

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.


5

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

76% Answer Correctly

a community

a food chain

a biome

a population


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
