1

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

anaerobic respiration

all of these

photosynthesis

aerobic respiration


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.


2

__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.

65% Answer Correctly

calcium, vitamin A

iron, calcium

vitamin D, calcium

vitamin D, magnesium


Solution

Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.


3

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

61% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)

none of these


Solution

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity:  \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\).  Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.


4

Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

62% Answer Correctly

opposite poles repel each other

same poles repel each other

all of these are untrue

opposite poles attract each other


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.


5

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

digestion

respiration

nervous

circulation


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
