1

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

family

genus

domain

species


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.


2

Carbohydrates are found in:

88% Answer Correctly

sugars and starches

animal sources

food additives

vegetable oils


Solution

Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).


3

The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

rock

minerals

frozen methane, ammonia, and water

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.


4

In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:

41% Answer Correctly

water table

rivers

oceans

runoff


Solution

The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.


5

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

gametes

diploids

sperm

ovum


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.
