Cycling of Matter Quiz - Clance P3 Science

According to Flynn, how do animals and plants participate in the cycling of matter?

• Animals take in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen, while plants take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

• Both plants and animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide, but only plants release oxygen.

• Animals take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, while plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

• Both plants and animals take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, and the cycle continues.

What is Jervis's view on the cycling of matter?

• Only animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide, and the cycle continues.

• Both plants and animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide, but only plants release oxygen.

• Both plants and animals take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, and the cycle continues.

• Animals take in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen, while plants take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

According to Melody, what happens to oxygen and carbon dioxide in the cycling of matter?

• Oxygen is cycled back into the atmosphere, but carbon dioxide is not.

• Both oxygen and carbon dioxide are cycled again by living things.

• Oxygen is used up and carbon dioxide is not cycled again by living things.

• Both oxygen and carbon dioxide are used up and not cycled again.

How does carbon move through the environment to eventually become coal used to generate electricity?

• Through the water cycle

• Through the process of photosynthesis and decomposition

• By being extracted directly from the atmosphere

• Through the consumption and digestion by animals

Approximately how many years ago did swamp forests exist during the Carboniferous Period?

• Over 100 million years ago

• Over 200 million years ago

• Over 300 million years ago

• Over 400 million years ago

What formed at the bottom of the swamps over time?

What happened as sea levels rose and inland seas covered swamps?

• The swamps dried out completely.

• Volcanic activity increased.

• Layers of sediment were deposited on top of the peat.

• The swamps turned into deserts.

What caused the peat to change into coal?

• Erosion by wind and water

• Exposure to sunlight and air

• Additional layers of sediment covering and compacting the peat over millions of years

• Rapid freezing and thawing cycles

For how long has coal been mined by humans?

• For a few decades

• For several centuries

• For many years

• Since the beginning of time

What is coal primarily used for?

• Building material

• Fuel for power plants

• Jewelry

• Medicinal purposes
