1

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


2

The rate of vibration of sound is called:

83% Answer Correctly

frequency

amplitude

period

volume


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.


3

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

62% Answer Correctly

bronchioles

capillaries

blood cells

diaphragms


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.


4

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, low

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


5

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 mL

1 kL

1 cL

1 ML


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
