1

The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

minerals

rock

frozen methane, ammonia, and water

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.


2

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

interphase

cytokinesis

anaphase

megaphase


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.


3

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

66% Answer Correctly

second law of motion

universal gravitation

first law of motion

third law of motion


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.


4

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

digestive

reproductive

circulatory

nervous


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.


5

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

digestion

circulation

respiration

nervous


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
