1

Examples of primary consumers include:

54% Answer Correctly

cows

all of these

fish

rats


Solution

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


2

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

mitochondria

oxygen

water

sugar


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


3

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

focal point

refractive index

90°

angle of incidence


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


4

A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum

a sound wave is much slower than a light wave

a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic

all of these are correct


Solution

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.


5

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

recessive alleles

dominant alleles

phenotypes

both dominant and recessive alleles


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.
