Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "As white light from our primary solar source passes through air molecules in our planet's atmosphere, the wave on the visible color spectrum with one of the smallest and shortest wavelengths is scattered more thoroughly than the others, so is more visible to the human eye."
What would be the proper question to receive this response?
2. "An aggregation of certain molecules within a liquid colloid work to separate and effectively trap hydrophobic foreign particles and organisms in their centers. With mechanical friction and a continuous water source, these aggregates are then flushed from their intended surface."
If this were the answer to a question, what would be the question?
3. "A specific species of bacterium, P. shermani, is added to a batch of product and then left to consume naturally-occurring lactic acid. As a result of the organism's digestive process, a significant amount of carbon dioxide is released, resulting in the obligatory pockets."
This explanation might be provided for which of the following questions?
4. "As the sun warms some geographical areas more thoroughly than others, the air contained within these corresponding areas warms more quickly as well. This results in the warm, less dense air rising and a difference in pressure that is swiftly rectified by cooler, denser air that swoops in to take its place."
Which of the following questions would match the above answer?
5. "Various environmental factors, including exposure to ultraviolet light and cold weather, induce reactions in anthocyanin, a chemical contained in the plant's vacuoles. Within the proper plant species, the result is a specific pigmentation."
The response above best matches which of these questions?
6. "Emotional duress causes our lacrimal glands to produce a solution containing leucine enkephalin, a natural endorphin which acts as a painkiller. Liquid which builds up and cannot be drained via the lacrimal punctum flows over and onto the face."
This verbose explanation would best match which of these questions?
7. "Hydrogen and carbon atoms are combined with oxygen in a rapid exothermic reaction that releases oxidized materials in gaseous form. This reaction subsequently results in both heat and light."
Which of the following questions would most likely be answered with the above statement?
8. "Water molecules inside a hull are heated to the point in which they would normally undergo the process of vaporization. However, due to the strength of the hull, the water molecules are unable to undergo the process and a violent explosion occurs, rupturing the hull and resulting in a starchy foam that quickly solidifies."
This long-winded (yet interesting!) explanation would be best matched with which of these questions?
9. "A cloud of gas and space dust collapsed under its own gravity over four billion years ago, which then began its own twirling motion. Other material in the universe was eventually gathered up into this swirling mass, adopting this same pattern of rotation and forming distinct spheroid shapes. Due to uninterrupted inertia, this motion has been constant since."
The father's explanation to his daughter might come after she asked him which of these questions?
10. "Water vapor contained in the atmosphere comes into contact with a microscopic solid particle and freezes. This new frozen particle's weight is greater than the surrounding air, so it begins to succumb to gravitational forces, gathering more and more water vapor, which also crystallizes."
This long answer would most likely come after which question has been posed?
