1

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

troposphere

thermosphere

stratosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.

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

82% Answer Correctly

one controls thinking, the other controls feeling

each belongs to a different nervous system

one controls voluntary activity, one controls involuntary activity

one is inherited, the other is learned


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.


3

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

mitochondria

cytoplasm

nucleus


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


4

All surface water is part of the:

76% Answer Correctly

geosphere

lithosphere

atmosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


5

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

circulatory

reproductive

nervous

digestive


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.
