3

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

cirrus

stratus

cumulus

cumulonimbus


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


4

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?

48% Answer Correctly

chemical

ionic

covalent

molecular


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


5

In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.

69% Answer Correctly

atrial

aorta

capillary

pulmonary


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
