1

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. 

64% Answer Correctly

mid-altitude

all-altitude

low-altitude

high-altitude


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


2

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

49% Answer Correctly

capillaries

arterioles

plasma

veins


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


3

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

nuclei

cells

chromatids

chromosomes


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


4

Antigens in the blood determine:

53% Answer Correctly

blood oxygen capacity

negative or positive status

Rh factor

blood type


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.


5

Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?

48% Answer Correctly

a magnitude and a polarity

a direction only

a magnitude and a direction

a magnitude only


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)
