1

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

63% Answer Correctly

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of protons in 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

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

59% Answer Correctly

stationary front

warm front

temperate front

cold front 


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


3

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

122

10

-10

58


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


4

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:

71% Answer Correctly

vertebra

ligaments

tendons

cartilage


Solution

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).


5

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

58% Answer Correctly

postive or negative

blood type

universal donor status

universal recipient status


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
