1

Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?

64% Answer Correctly

cerebellum

cerebrum

medulla

spinal cord
Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.

2

All surface water is part of the:

76% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

geosphere

atmosphere

lithosphere
Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).

3

What is a major difference between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems?

82% Answer Correctly

each belongs to a different nervous system

one controls thinking, the other controls feeling

one controls voluntary activity, one controls involuntary activity

one is inherited, the other is learned
Solution

Both are part of the peripheral nervous system. The somatic nervous system sends sensory information to the central nervous system and controls voluntary actions while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.

4

In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

54% Answer Correctly

cytoplasm

cell membrane

nucleus

cell wall
Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.

5

The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

66% Answer Correctly

first law of motion

second law of motion

third law of motion

universal gravitation
Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.
