1

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

double the number of

fewer

more

equal numbers of


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.


2

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration

photosynthesis

all of these


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

Tertiary consumers eat which of the following?

59% Answer Correctly

primary and secondary consumers

all of these

producers

decomposers


Solution

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.


4

Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?

74% Answer Correctly

neutron

molecule

atom

element


Solution

An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.


5

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
