76% Answer Correctly

46

4

2

23


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


3

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


4

The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?

77% Answer Correctly

the northern lights

day and night cycle

seasons

tides


Solution

Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.


5

Plant cells are surrounded by:

64% Answer Correctly

only a cell wall

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

only a cell membrane

a cell membrane and a cell wall


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
