Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?

52% Answer Correctly

is a yellow dwarf star

is composed of hydrogen and helium

makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system

formed 2.6 billion years ago


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.

3

The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.

57% Answer Correctly

veins

red blood cells

arteries

capillaries


Solution

Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.


4

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

83% Answer Correctly

refractors

reflectors

conductors

insulators


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.


5

Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?

68% Answer Correctly

solid

liquid

gas

none of these


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
