1

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

complex carbohydrates

simple nutrients

producers

carrion


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


2

The rate of vibration of sound is called:

83% Answer Correctly

frequency

period

volume

amplitude


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.


3

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

photosynthesis

aerobic respiration

anaerobic respiration

all of these


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.


4

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.


5

Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

blood oxygen capacity

blood type

negative or positive status

Rh factor


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
