In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?
classes |
|
domains |
|
species |
|
kingdoms |
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?
reactants |
|
isotopes |
|
products |
|
ions |
The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.
-40°F is how many °C?
-8 |
|
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
\({40 \over 9}\) |
|
-40 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?
convex mirror |
|
concave lens |
|
convex lens |
|
concave mirror |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
What is the body's largest artery?
aorta |
|
capillary |
|
vena cava |
|
arteriole |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
