1

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

aerobic respiration

photosynthesis

anaerobic 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.


2

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

atria

valves

aorta

ventricles


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


3

Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

number of electron shells

atomic number

atomic mass

atomic weight


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


4

I biome is made up of naturally occurring flora and fauna.  Fauna is which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

habitats

animals

minerals

plants


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).


5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

82% Answer Correctly

liquid

plasma

solid

gas


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
