1

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 ML

1 mL

1 kL

1 cL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.


2

What is a major difference between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems?

82% Answer Correctly

one is inherited, the other is learned

each belongs to a different nervous system

one controls thinking, the other controls feeling

one controls voluntary activity, one controls involuntary activity


Solution

Both are part of the peripheral nervous system. The somatic nervous system sends sensory information to the central nervous system and controls voluntary actions while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.


3

The first step in the water cycle is:

68% Answer Correctly

reclamation

infiltration

precipitation

evaporation


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


4

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

refractive index

focal point

90°

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

Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

components

fuel

reactants

products


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
