Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?

52% Answer Correctly

formed 2.6 billion years ago

is a yellow dwarf star

makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system

is composed of hydrogen and helium


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.


2

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

78% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

geosphere

lithosphere

atmosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


3

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

55% Answer Correctly

plasma

platelets

red

white


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


4

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

27

37

-23

41


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


5

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

none of these are correct

ovum → zygote → fetus

zygote → ovum → fetus

ovum → fetus → zygote


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
