1

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

none of these

more complex

similarly complex

less 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

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

kinetic energy

work

power

a force


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


3

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

filters

oxygenates

creates


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


4

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

55% Answer Correctly

atrium, ventricle

ventricle, ventricle

atrium, atrium

ventricle, atrium


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.


5

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?

60% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
