1

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

decomposers

secondary consumers

producers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis


2

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

diploids

gametes

sperm

ovum


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


3

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

54% Answer Correctly

plasma

red

platelets

white


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

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

electron shells

atomic mass units

electrons

protons


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number. 


5

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

pharynx

nasal cavity

epiglottis

trachea


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.
