82% Answer Correctly

each belongs to a different nervous system

one controls voluntary activity, one controls involuntary activity

one controls thinking, the other controls feeling

one is inherited, the other is learned

3

Which of the following is not part of the carbon cycle?

59% Answer Correctly

decomposition

precipitation

photosynthesis

respiration


Solution

The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.


4

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

85% Answer Correctly

radiation

electricity

conduction

convection


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.


5

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

50% Answer Correctly

0°C

32°F

0°F

273K


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
