1.
The strength of a sea breeze depends on
a)
the heat of the day
b)
the difference between the temperature of the sea and the land
c)
the wind speed
d)
the amount of precipitation that day
2.
Winds are caused by
a)
equal heating of the Earth's atmosphere. This is due to the indirect sunlight penetrating the atmosphere in the tropics, and direct sunlight penetrating the atmosphere in the polar regions.
b)
unequal heating of the Earth's atmosphere. This is due to the direct sunlight penetrating the atmosphere in the tropics, and indirect sunlight penetrating the atmosphere in the polar regions.
3.
Which of the following best describes the Coriolis Effect?
a)
As cool air warms due to the conduction of the land, it rises, and as the warm air cools down, it sinks creating a breeze.
b)
As the sun rises and sets, the path of the wind all over Earth changes direction
c)
As Earth spins on an axis, the Earth pulls the wind and causes it to blow in a curved path
d)
As the air pressure changes from the equator to the poles, the wind at the equator becomes stronger while the winds are lighter at the poles
4.
The stratosphere is important due to that
a)
it has an ozone layer, within which it protects life from infrared radiation which would otherwise cause us to burn.
b)
it has an ozone layer, within which it protects life from ultra-violet radiation which would otherwise cause us to burn.
c)
it burns up meteors.
d)
contains the aurora borealis.
5.
Which of the following is one of the reasons why air density & air pressure decrease with increasing altitude?
a)
Air density & Air pressure decrease with increasing altitude due to that gravity forces the gases of the troposphere towards the center of the Earth. Thus, gas molecules will be greatest at seal level.
b)
Air density & Air pressure decrease with increasing altitude due to that the surface area of the Earth's atmosphere decreases with increasing altitude, thus gas molecules can spread out.
c)
Air density & Air pressure increase with increasing altitude. So the following question is worded wrong.
d)
none of the answers are correct
6.
What happens to the air pressure (density) of air as you increase in altitude?
a)
density increases, this is due to the surface area of the atmosphere increasing as you increase altitude which allows for gas molecules to expand.
b)
density decreases, this is due to the surface area of the atmosphere increasing as you increase altitude which allows for gas molecules to expand.
c)
density stays the same
d)
density disappears
7.
As we already know, heterotrophic protists are animal-like in extracting energy for food. What does it mean when a protist is "heterotrophic"?
a)
Heterotrophic protists are protists that have to move to find their food, and eat smaller organisms to survive. Sometimes, these types of protists eat each other, or other protists.
b)
Heterotrophic protists are protists that do not have to move to fin their own food, rather, these protists can perform photosynthesis which allows for these types of protists to create their own food.
c)
Heterotrophic protists can find their own food, and create their own food.
d)
None of the answers are correct
8.
As we already know, autotrophic protists are plant-like in extracting food for energy. What does it mean when a protist is "autotrophic"?
a)
Autotrophic protists are protists that have to move to find their own food.
b)
Autotrophic protists are protists who have chlorophyll & chloroplast, within which they create their own food by sunlight.
c)
Autotrophic protists can both create their own food and move to find their own food.
d)
none of the answers are correct
9.
The animal-like protist, called the paramecium, lives in water. The paramecium can move in the water by using tiny hairlike structures called?
a)
Flagellum
b)
Cytoplasmic Streaming using Pseudopods
c)
Cilia
d)
none of the answers are correct
10.
As we already know, bacteria reproduce very rapidly under certain environmental conditions. What is the method within which bacteria undergo asexual reproduction?
a)
Budding
b)
Regeneration by Fragmentation
c)
Binary Fission
d)
Sporulation
11.
Looking at the image provided on quizizz, the homologous chromosomes are performing an important process. What is the process that is occurring between the homologous chromosomes?
a)
the chromosomes found within the cell are aligned in the nucleus so they can further cell division.
b)
The chromosomes found within the cell are pairing up with other chromosomes that are similar and unalike within gene combination.
c)
The chromosomes found within the cell are pairing up with other chromosomes that are alike, and are performing a process called crossing-over.
d)
Mr. Boice has changed.
12.
Crossing-over is an important process in meiosis cell division in that:
a)
it allows for genetic recombination within gametes found in an individual. This is why you may have blonde hair, but you mom or dad does not have blonde hair.
b)
it allows for the chromosomes to split apart during prophase I, within which they are able to pair up and design the DNA that makes up an individuals gametes.
c)
it allows for people to have many different cells that provide the structure to form new somatic cells.
d)
none of the answers are correct
13.
Use the picture to answer the question. A cross between two brown eyed parents is shown above.(both are heterozygous dominant). Which statement BEST explains why blue eyes appear only in 25% of offspring?
a)
Blue eyes is a mutated trait
b)
Blue eyes is a recessive trait
c)
Blue eyes is a dominant trait
d)
Blue eyes is an acquired trait.
14.
A test cross is performed on a purple flower with an unknown genotype. The results of the cross are 75% purple and 25% white flowers. White flowers are a recessive trait. What is the genotype of the original purple flower?
a)
PP
b)
Pp
c)
pp
d)
none of the answers are correct
15.
How would you be able to tell if two chromosomes were homologous?
a)
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are the same. These chromosomes cross-over during anaphase I, within which the chromosomes share genetic information (DNA).
b)
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are the same. These chromosomes cross-over during metaphase I, within which the chromosomes share genetic information (DNA).
c)
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are the same. These chromosomes cross-over during prophase I, within which the chromosomes share genetic information (DNA).
d)
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are the same. These chromosomes cross-over during prophase II, within which the chromosomes share genetic information (DNA).
