61% Answer Correctly

frozen methane, ammonia, and water

rock

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water

minerals


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.

Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?

56% Answer Correctly

oceanic

metamorphic

terrestrial

sedimentary


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.

Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

AB

AO

B

O


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.

What is a major difference between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems?

82% Answer Correctly

one controls thinking, the other controls feeling

one controls voluntary activity, one controls involuntary activity

one is inherited, the other is learned

each belongs to a different nervous system


Solution

Both are part of the peripheral nervous system. The somatic nervous system sends sensory information to the central nervous system and controls voluntary actions while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.


5

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 cL

1 ML

1 kL

1 mL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
