3

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

67% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

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.


4

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

vertebrate

exoskeleton

endoskeleton

bone


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.


5

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
