1

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 cL

1 mL

1 ML

1 kL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.


2

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 4 is:

71% Answer Correctly

acidic

basic

neutral

alkaline


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


3

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

28% Answer Correctly

snow or ice

snow

rain

ice


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.


4

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

83% Answer Correctly

transport nutrients

deoxygenate blood

transport oxygen

add carbon dioxide


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


5

Regulation of heart rhythm occurs in:

61% Answer Correctly

cerebellum

nerves

medulla

cerebrum


Solution

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.
