1

Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?

71% Answer Correctly

inner core

continents

outer core

mantle


Solution

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.


2

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

classes

species

domains

kingdoms


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


3

In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.

55% Answer Correctly

ventricle, ventricle

ventricle, atrium

atrium, atrium

atrium, ventricle


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.


4

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

universal donor status

universal recipient status

blood type

postive or negative


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.


5

The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

65% Answer Correctly

second law of motion

third law of motion

first law of motion

universal gravitation


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.
