Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

2

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?

48% Answer Correctly

covalent

chemical

ionic

molecular


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


3

Secondary consumers that also eat producers are known as:

62% Answer Correctly

scavengers

herbivores

omnivores

carnivores


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


4

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

90°

refractive index

focal point

angle of incidence


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


5

The large intestine does which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

breaks down starches

processes the physical waste produced by digestion

breaks down fats

breaks down proteins


Solution

The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.
