1

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

68% Answer Correctly

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

none of these

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

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


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  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


2

In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:

64% Answer Correctly

complex carbohydrates

simple sugars

glycerol and fatty acids

amino acids


Solution

The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion.  Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.


3

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


4

__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.

65% Answer Correctly

iron, calcium

vitamin D, calcium

vitamin D, magnesium

calcium, vitamin A


Solution

Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.


5

Which of the following is true about species groups?

47% Answer Correctly

a community is made up of a group of populations

a population is made up of a group of communities

an ecosystem is a biological population

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres


Solution

population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.
