1

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

amps

horsepower

joules or newton-meters

watts


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


2

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

ovum → zygote → fetus

ovum → fetus → zygote

none of these are correct

zygote → ovum → fetus


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.


3

Blood is created in:

68% Answer Correctly

the liver

bone marrow

red blood cells

the heart


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


4

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

85% Answer Correctly

spiny

vertebrate

arthropod

sentient

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


5

Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the shortest time period? 

57% Answer Correctly

epoch

age

eon

period


Solution

The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.
