1

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

atom

neutron

proton

electron


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.


2

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

72% Answer Correctly

geosphere

atmosphere

lithosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


3

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

more complex

similarly complex

none of these

less complex


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.


4

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

69% Answer Correctly

fourth

first

second

third


Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.


5

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0

100

-100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)
