1

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = w t\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


2

Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:

69% Answer Correctly

carbohydrates

macronutrients

proteins

micronutrients


Solution

Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.


3

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

50% Answer Correctly

32°F

0°F

0°C

273K


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.


4

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

60% Answer Correctly

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

microwaves → radio waves → visible light


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.


5

Within DNA, a variety of a particular gene is called a(n):

55% Answer Correctly

homozygous

heterozygous

allele

chromosome


Solution

The gene is the base unit of inheritance and is contained within DNA. A gene may come in several varieties (alleles) and there are a pair of alleles for every gene. If the alleles are alike, a person is homozygous for that gene. If the alleles are different, heterozygous.
