1

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

add carbon dioxide

deoxygenate blood

transport oxygen

transport nutrients


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


2

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

69% Answer Correctly

none of these

liquid

gas

solid


Solution

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


3

The fossil record is a product of which period of Earth's history?

57% Answer Correctly

Cenozoic

Cretaceous

Jurassic

Cambrian


Solution

The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.


4

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

69% Answer Correctly

second

third

fourth

first


Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.


5

Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?

49% Answer Correctly

water

metal

vacuum

air


Solution

The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium.  Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).
