1

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

temperate front

stationary front

cold front 

warm front


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.

Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?

43% Answer Correctly

-273°C

0K

32°F

absolute zero


Solution

Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.


3

During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?

53% Answer Correctly

large intestine

stomach

esophagus

small intestine


Solution

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


4

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

atomic number

group

period

family


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


5

The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?

66% Answer Correctly

pancreas

all of these are correct

small intestine

liver


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
