1

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

61% Answer Correctly

lithosphere

geosphere

atmosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


2

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

endoskeleton

exoskeleton

vertebrate

bone


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.


3

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

64% Answer Correctly

fat

starches

protein

sugars


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.


4

Large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top describe which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

stratus clouds

fog

cumulus clouds

cirrus clouds


Solution

Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.


5

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
