1

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

88% Answer Correctly

fats

fiber

protein

carbohydrates


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.


2

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

gas

solid

liquid

plasma


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


3

In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?

58% Answer Correctly

covalent

chemical

acidic

ionic


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


4

The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

Doppler effect

reflection

sound radiation

refraction


Solution

The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.


5

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

stratus

cumulonimbus

cumulus

cirrus


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
