Which of the following is NOT a state of matter?
Solid
Energy
Liquid
Gas
The commonly recognized states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, not energy. Energy is a property that matter can have, but it is not classified as a matter state.
What is the first step of the scientific method?
Analyze data
Ask a question
Form a hypothesis
Conduct an experiment
The scientific method begins with asking a question based on observations. Subsequent steps include forming a hypothesis, testing it, and analyzing results.
Which of these gases do plants take in during photosynthesis?
Water vapor (H₂O)
Nitrogen (N₂)
Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
Oxygen (O₂)
During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and, using energy from sunlight, convert it into glucose and release oxygen.
What layer of Earth do we live on?
Mantle
Core
Crust
Outer core
The Earth's crust is the outermost solid layer where we live, above the mantle and the core layers.
In an experiment testing plant growth under different light colors, what is the dependent variable?
Amount of water
Pot size
Color of the light
Growth height of the plants
The dependent variable is what you measure in an experiment. Here, the height of plant growth depends on the light color.
Seasons on Earth are primarily caused by which factor?
Earth's axial tilt
Variations in the Sun's output
Earth's distance from the Sun
Earth's revolution around the Sun
Seasons result mainly from the 23.5° tilt of Earth's axis, which changes the angle and intensity of sunlight received in each hemisphere over the year.
During which stage of the water cycle does water vapor cool and become liquid?
Condensation
Evaporation
Transpiration
Precipitation
Condensation is the process where water vapor cools in the atmosphere and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds or dew.
What subatomic particle has a negative charge?
Proton
Nucleus
Neutron
Electron
Electrons carry a negative charge and orbit the atomic nucleus, while protons are positive and neutrons are neutral.
In a simple data set, as temperature increases, ice cream sales also increase. This describes what type of relationship?
Negative correlation
Causal relationship
No correlation
Positive correlation
A positive correlation means that two variables move in the same direction; here, higher temperatures are associated with more ice cream sales.
Which step of the scientific method involves testing the hypothesis by conducting an experiment?
Observation
Conclusion
Experimentation
Hypothesis
Experimentation is the stage where a hypothesis is tested under controlled conditions to gather data.
Which gas is most abundant in Earth's atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Argon
Nitrogen makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere, more than any other gas.
Which organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell?
Chloroplast
Mitochondria
Ribosome
Nucleus
Mitochondria generate ATP through cellular respiration, supplying energy for the cell's activities.
What phenomenon explains the regular cycle of day and night?
Earth's rotation on its axis
Earth's magnetic field
Earth's revolution around the Sun
Earth's axial tilt
Day and night occur because Earth rotates once on its axis approximately every 24 hours, exposing different sides to sunlight.
In biological classification, which level is more specific than 'Family'?
Order
Genus
Species
Phylum
The taxonomic hierarchy goes Order > Family > Genus > Species, so Genus is more specific than Family.
Which energy transformation occurs in a battery-powered flashlight when it is turned on?
Chemical to electrical to light
Electrical to chemical
Chemical to mechanical
Mechanical to electrical
The battery's chemical energy is converted to electrical energy, which is then converted into light energy by the bulb.
An object has a mass of 20 g and a volume of 4 cm³. What is its density?
8 g/cm³
0.2 g/cm³
0.5 g/cm³
5 g/cm³
Density is mass divided by volume. 20 g ÷ 4 cm³ = 5 g/cm³.
In an experiment measuring plant growth, a student uses the same soil, water amount, and pot size for all groups while varying only light color. These consistent factors are called what?
Control variables
Dependent variables
Independent variables
Random variables
Control variables are factors kept constant across all experimental groups to ensure that the independent variable is the only one affecting the outcome.
Which global process is driven by convection currents in Earth's mantle?
Carbon cycle
Rock cycle
Water cycle
Plate tectonics
Convection currents in the mantle move tectonic plates, causing continental drift and seismic activity.
Which equation correctly represents cellular respiration?
6O2 + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6H2O
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
C6H12O6 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and release energy in the form of ATP.
On a graph showing temperature decreasing with altitude, which principle best explains this pattern?
Albedo
Coriolis effect
Adiabatic cooling
Greenhouse effect
Adiabatic cooling occurs when air rises, expands at lower pressure, and cools, causing temperature to drop with increasing altitude.
