Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

62% Answer Correctly

opposite poles repel each other

same poles repel each other

opposite poles attract each other

all of these are untrue


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

equal numbers of

more

fewer

double the number of


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


3

All surface water is part of the:

76% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

lithosphere

atmosphere

geosphere


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).


4

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

interphase

megaphase

cytokinesis

anaphase


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

valves

ventricles

atria

aorta


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
