Sample Practice Test Questions
In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?
cytoplasm
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.
A transistor to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a house?
gate
A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current applied at the base to control general current flow from collector to emitter through the transistor. A transistor acts as a gate or switch for electronic signals.
Jennifer scored 73% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Jennifer answer correctly?
Jennifer scored 73% on the test meaning she earned 73% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.73 = 88 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{88}{4} \) = 22 questions right.
The stoichiometric ratio is approximately:
14.7:1
The stoichiometric ratio defines the proper ratio of air to fuel necessary so that an engine burns all fuel with no excess air. For gasoline fuel, the stoichiometric ratio is about 14.7:1 or for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air are required. Too much air results in a lean air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter while too much fuel results in a rich mixture that burns quicker and cooler.
The mechanical advantage of a third class lever is always:
less than one
A third class lever is designed to multiply distance and speed at the expense of effort force. Because the effort force is greater than the resistance, the mechanical advantage of a third class lever is always less than one.
An example of a third class lever is a broom. The fulcrum is at your hand on the end of the broom, the effort force is your other hand in the middle, and the resistance is at the bottom bristles. The effort force of your hand in the middle multiplies the distance and speed of the bristles at the bottom but at the expense of producing a brushing force that's less than the force you're applying with your hand.
Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?
all of these
The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive. A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.
Connecting the 4 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 36V 25A configuration. Connecting the 4 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 9V 100A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 2 batteries can be connected in series and 2 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 18V 50A configuration.
