Energy is transferred in solids by conduction, which means that

• heat travels in both directions.

• heat travels from the cooler object to the hotter object.

• heat travels from the hotter object to the cooler object.

• heat does not travel between objects of different temperatures.

The main difference between weather and climate is the

• time of year on Earth.

• amount of time we consider.

• where Earth is in its orbit.

• amount of sunlight reaching Earth

What makes the black surface of a playground get warmer on a sunny day than on a cloudy day?

• More children play outside when it is sunny.

• More heat goes into the black surface on a cloudy day.

• Clouds absorb all of the heat from the playground.

• The sunlight heats up the playground.

Explain how the structure of the cell membrane helps it perform its function.

• It is rigid and provides support

• It is semi-permeable and controls what enters and exits the cell

• It contains chlorophyll for photosynthesis

• It stores water and nutrients

Explain how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to maintain homeostasis in the human body.

• The respiratory system removes waste products, and the circulatory system transports nutrients.

• The respiratory system brings in oxygen, and the circulatory system transports it to cells while removing carbon dioxide.

• The respiratory system controls cell activities, and the circulatory system produces energy.

• The respiratory system stores water, and the circulatory system synthesizes proteins.

How do the layers of the Earth contribute to the movement of tectonic plates?

• The crust is solid and moves over the liquid outer core.

• The mantle's convection currents drive the movement of the solid crust.

• The inner core's magnetic field pushes the plates.

• The outer core's liquid state allows the plates to float.
