"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
fourth |
|
third |
|
first |
|
second |
Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?
cell membrane |
|
cell wall |
|
cytoplasm |
|

The rate of vibration of sound is called:
volume |
|
amplitude |
|
frequency |
|
period |
The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
neutron |
|
isotope |
|
proton |
|
electron |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?
primary consumers and omnivores |
|
scavengers and decomposers |
|
producers and tertiary consumers |
|
herbivores and autotrophs |
Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.
