67% Answer Correctly

troposphere

mesosphere

stratosphere

thermosphere

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.


4

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electron shells

number of electrons

number of atomic mass units

number of electrons in their outer electron shell


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


5

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

megaphase

anaphase

interphase

cytokinesis


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
