1

The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?

63% Answer Correctly

in the Kuiper Belt

between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn

in the asteroid belt

outside the solar system


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.


2

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

zygote → ovum → fetus

ovum → fetus → zygote

ovum → zygote → fetus

none of these are correct


Solution

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.


3

The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.

57% Answer Correctly

arteries

red blood cells

capillaries

veins


Solution

Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.


4

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electrons

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

number of electron shells

number of atomic mass units


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


5

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

transitional

kinetic

potential

gravitational


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
