PRAXIS 5005 Science Test with All
Correct Answers
What is the largest planet - Answer-Jupiter- made up of hydrogen gas
Half formed sun
Lithosphere is made up of - Answer-The crust and the upper mantle
The kidneys - Answer-Filter blood
Dmitri Mendeleev - Answer-Created the periodic table
Bile - Answer-Made in the liver and breaks down fats
To separate salt from sand - Answer-Boil mixture with water
Primary Producers - Answer-(Autotrophs) Organisms that make their own food sunlight
EX: PLANTS
Primary Consumers - Answer-Herbivores
Secondary Consumers - Answer-Carnivores & Omnivores
Tertiary Consumers - Answer-Eat carnivores & omnivores
Invertebrates - Answer-Arthropods, Mollusks, Annelids, coelenterates, starfish & worms
Arthropods - Answer-Insects, spiders & crustacean
Mollusks - Answer-Snails, slugs, mussels & octopuses
Annelids - Answer-Earthworms & Leeches
Animals with hollow bones - Answer-Birds
Animals with no teeth - Answer-Birds, lizards, & frogs
Primary succession - Answer-Formation of a new community where no community has
existed. EX: Newly formed volcanic islands
, Secondary succession - Answer-Occurs when a community has been destroyed by
natural occurrences or human activities. A new community then replaces it.
Recovery & renewal - Answer-When an ecosystem recovers from catastrophic events
such as fires, floods, avalanches, landslides, or earthquakes. Succession will take place
so long as the essential abiotic element remain to support living things.
Succession - Answer-Natural replacement of one community of living things by another.
EX: An untended field of soil will first be inhabited by small plants and insects; when
these plants and insects die, their nutrients will be added to the soil, creating rich
enough soil to support the life of larger and different plants.
Smallest plannet - Answer-Mercury
The ozone is deteriorating because of - Answer-Bromine and chlorine in addition to
chlorofluorocarbons.
How to measure acidity - Answer-Litmus Paper, Probe and Meter
Qualities of inner plannets - Answer-Also known as Terrestrial Planets. Smaller and
rockier. Made up of mostly heavy metals such as iron and nickel.
Igneous Rock - Answer-formed when hot magma cools beneath the ground
or
lava cools above the ground
forms crystal like/ glassy rocks
ex: granite, pumus, basalt
Sedimentary Rock - Answer-Changed by pressure
does not involve heat
Usually near water/ involves water
sometimes contain fossils
forms from previously weathered and erroted material which may have been igneous,
sedimentary, rock metamorphic rock.
ex: dolemite, limestone, sandstone
Metamorphic Rock - Answer-Has been changed by great heat and pressure
altered, partially remelted
ex: slate, marble
Plate tectonic theory - Answer-Lithosphere is made up of major and minor plates
Sit on viscous (thick fluid) part and move with it
