1

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

both evaporation and transpiration

evaporation

transpiration

precipitation


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


2

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

82% Answer Correctly

liquid

plasma

gas

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.


3

Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?

89% Answer Correctly

fats

protein

carbohydrates

fiber


Solution

Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.


4

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

55% Answer Correctly

plasma

platelets

white

red


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.


5

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

watts

joules or newton-meters

amps

horsepower


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
