1

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

species

domain

family

genus


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.


2

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).


3

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


4

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

interphase

cytokinesis

megaphase

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.


5

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

59% Answer Correctly

animalia

eukaryota

bacteria

archaea


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
