monounsaturated

polyunsaturated

cholesterol


Solution

Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils).


2

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

66% Answer Correctly

first law of motion

universal gravitation

second 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.


3

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:

68% Answer Correctly

alkaline

neutral

water

acidic


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


4

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

68% Answer Correctly

radiation

conduction

convection

reflection


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.


5

Which of these is not a component of blood?

82% Answer Correctly

white blood cells

plasma

red blood cells

marrow


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
