In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?
number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus |
|
number of neutrons in the nucleus |
|
number of protons in the nucleus |
|
number of electrons orbiting the nucleus |
The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.
Which of these is not a type of fat?
cholesterol |
|
monounsaturated |
|
saturated |
|
polyunsaturated |
Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils).
Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?
troposphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
thermosphere |
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.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)
\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?
ground level |
|
mid-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
