1

An asteroid belt holds many of the asteroids in our solar system. It is located between the orbits of which planets?

59% Answer Correctly

Mars and Jupiter

Mercury and Venus

Mars and Earth

Jupiter and Saturn


Solution

The solar system also contains over a million rocky fragments of at least 1km in diameter called asteroids as well as millions more with smaller diameters. Many of these asteroids are an asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.


2

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?

70% Answer Correctly

low-altitude

mid-altitude

ground level

high-altitude


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


3

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

domains

classes

species

kingdoms


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


4

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

respiration

circulation

nervous

digestion


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


5

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

photosynthesis

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration

all of these


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
