Sample Practice Test Questions
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed from the hardening of molten rock?
igneous
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?
0°F
The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
The __________ is an initial shallow saw cut made as a guide to prevent the saw from slipping sideways on subsequent more powerful cuts.
kerf
When you start sawing by creating a kerf it will help prevent the saw from slipping sideways when you begin the power strokes that do most of the cutting.
Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
ovum → zygote → fetus
During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
Which of the following is the correct order for the engine stroke cycle?
intake, compression, power, exhaust
The stroke cycle order is intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, exhaust stroke.
The connective tissue that connects bones to other bones at joints is called:
ligaments
Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).
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.
Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:
tendons
Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).
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.
