1

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

anaphase

cytokinesis

megaphase

interphase


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

Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?

52% Answer Correctly

produce blood cells

store minerals

protect bodily organs

store vitamins


Solution

Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.


3

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

85% Answer Correctly

spiny

sentient

vertebrate

arthropod


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


4

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

69% Answer Correctly

combinational quantities

scalar quantities

vector quantities

composite quantities


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, low

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

oxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
