1

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

only a cell membrane

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

a cell membrane and a cell wall

only a cell wall


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


2

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

gel

liquid

solid

gas


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


3

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

82% Answer Correctly

plasma

gas

liquid

solid


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.


4

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

zygote → ovum → fetus

ovum → fetus → zygote

ovum → zygote → fetus

none of these are correct


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.


5

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

72% Answer Correctly

digestion

respiration

circulation

nervous


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.
