1

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 cL

1 kL

1 mL

1 ML


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.


2

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

59% Answer Correctly

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


3

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.


4

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

64% Answer Correctly

water

ascorbic acid or peptides

lactic acid or alcohol

starches


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


5

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

65% Answer Correctly

carrion

simple nutrients

complex carbohydrates

producers


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.
