Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

stratosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


3

Which of blood component carries oxygen?

83% Answer Correctly

plasma

white blood cells

red blood cells

platelets


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


4

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

all of these deal with proteins

Golgi apparatus

endoplasmic reticulum

ribosomes


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.


5

Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.

72% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

tertiary consumers

scavengers

secondary consumers


Solution
