Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

B

AO

O

2

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

troposphere

thermosphere

mesosphere

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.

3

The large intestine does which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

breaks down fats

breaks down proteins

breaks down starches

processes the physical waste produced by digestion
Solution

The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.

4

Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?

58% Answer Correctly

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere
Solution

The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.

5

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

coldest

farthest from the surface

hottest

closest to the surface
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.
