1

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

86% Answer Correctly

spiny

arthropod

vertebrate

sentient


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


2

Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:

83% Answer Correctly

fiber

saturated fat

unsaturated fat

protein


Solution

Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.


3

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

large intestine

small intestine

stomach

pancreas


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.


4

Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?

71% Answer Correctly

mantle

outer core

inner core

continents


Solution

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.


5

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

69% Answer Correctly

empty, dense

dense, empty

warmer, cooler

cooler, warmer


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
