1

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

less complex

none of these

similarly complex

more complex


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.


2

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


3

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

57% Answer Correctly

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


4

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

none of these

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

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


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


5

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

bone

vertebrate

endoskeleton

exoskeleton


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
