1

The __________ nervous system controls voluntary actions.

52% Answer Correctly

peripheral

central

somatic

autonomic


Solution

Part of the peripheral nervous system, the somatic nervous system is made up of nerve fibers that send sensory information to the central nervous system and control voluntary actions.


2

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

-32

0

32

16


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


3

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

angle of incidence

90°

focal point

refractive index


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 subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

proton

electron

neutron

isotope


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


5

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

diploids

ovum

gametes

sperm


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.
