1

Plant cells are surrounded by:

64% Answer Correctly

only a cell membrane

a cell membrane and a cell wall

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

only a cell wall


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


2

Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.

73% Answer Correctly

scavengers

primary consumers

secondary consumers

tertiary consumers


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


3

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:

71% Answer Correctly

vertebra

ligaments

cartilage

tendons


Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).


4

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

vector quantities

composite quantities

scalar 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:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

Examples of tertiary consumers include:

73% Answer Correctly

sharks

cows

chickens

fish


Solution

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.
