1

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

reproductive

digestive

nervous

circulatory
Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.

2

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

79% Answer Correctly

kinetic

gravitational

potential

transitional
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

A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these are correct

a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum

a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic

a sound wave is much slower than a light wave
Solution

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.

4

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

67% Answer Correctly

reflection

conduction

convection

radiation
Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.

5

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

none of these are correct

ovum → fetus → zygote

ovum → zygote → fetus

zygote → ovum → fetus
Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
