1

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

62% Answer Correctly

classes

domains

kingdoms

species


Solution

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


2

Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

a magnitude only

a magnitude and a direction

a direction and a polarity

a direction only


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


3

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

76% Answer Correctly

a community

a biome

a population

a food chain


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).


4

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

pulmonary vein

right atrium

aorta

left ventricle


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.


5

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

diploids

ovum

sperm

gametes


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.
