1

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

stationary front

cold front 

temperate front

warm front


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


2

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

fair

freezing

stormy

hot


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

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

54% Answer Correctly

plasma

white

red

platelets


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


4

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

aerobically

anaerobically

in the presence of oxygen

in plant cells


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


5

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

protons

electron shells

atomic mass units

electrons


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
