1

What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?

70% Answer Correctly

cerebellum

brainstem

medulla

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


2

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

capillaries

veins

arterioles

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


3

The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

plates

continents

metamorphic rock

sedimentary rock


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.


4

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

64% Answer Correctly

troposphere

stratosphere

thermosphere

mesosphere


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.


5

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

genus

domain

family

species


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
