1

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

nuclei

chromosomes

chromatids

cells


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


2

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

kinetic energy

power

a force

work


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


3

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?

60% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


4

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

period

atomic number

group

family


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


5

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

ventricles

valves

aorta

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
