1

In the food chain, consumers are classified as which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

primary

tertiary

all of these

secondary


Solution

Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.


2

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

-10

122

58

10


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


3

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

74% Answer Correctly

refraction

reflection

convection

conduction


Solution

Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.


4

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

56% Answer Correctly

chromatids

cells

chromosomes

nuclei


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


5

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

velocity

mass

momentum

acceleration


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)
