1

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

megaphase

cytokinesis

interphase

anaphase


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.


2

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

none of these

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

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


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


3

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

add carbon dioxide

transport oxygen

transport nutrients

deoxygenate blood


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


4

Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?

51% Answer Correctly

AB

O-positive

O

O-negative


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.


5

What is a major difference between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems?

82% Answer Correctly

each belongs to a different nervous system

one controls voluntary activity, one controls involuntary activity

one is inherited, the other is learned

one controls thinking, the other controls feeling


Solution

Both are part of the peripheral nervous system. The somatic nervous system sends sensory information to the central nervous system and controls voluntary actions while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.
