1

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

79% Answer Correctly

gravitational

kinetic

transitional

potential


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.


2

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

potential

kinetic

gravitational

inherent


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.


3

Which of the following describes how a person's genes express themselves in physical characteristics?

61% Answer Correctly

genotype

chromotype

phenotype

DNA


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.


4

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

antigen, negative

negative, positive

positive, negative

positive, antigen


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.


5

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

all of these

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration

photosynthesis


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
