1

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

species

genus

family

domain


Solution

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


2

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

29% Answer Correctly

snow or ice

rain

ice

snow


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.


3

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 kL

1 mL

1 cL

1 ML


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.


4

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

73% Answer Correctly

valves

capillaries

platelets

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


5

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

50% Answer Correctly

water

fault lines

liquid mantle

sediment


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of 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.
