1

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

respiration

digestion

nervous

circulation


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


2

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

combinational quantities

composite quantities

scalar quantities

vector quantities


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


3

A transition zone between two air masses is called:

71% Answer Correctly

front

boundary

thunderstorm

fog


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


4

__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.

64% Answer Correctly

shingles

anemia

scurvy

diabetes


Solution

Scurvy is a difficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.


5

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

momentum

velocity

mass

acceleration


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)
