1

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

ovum → fetus → zygote

none of these are correct

zygote → ovum → fetus

ovum → zygote → fetus


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.


2

The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.

57% Answer Correctly

red blood cells

arteries

capillaries

veins


Solution

Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.


3

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


4

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

eukaryota

archaea

bacteria

animalia


Solution

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


5

In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?

58% Answer Correctly

covalent

ionic

acidic

chemical


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
