1

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

86% Answer Correctly

vertebrate

spiny

arthropod

sentient


Solution

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


2

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

universal recipient status

postive or negative

blood type

universal donor status


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


3

The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

Doppler effect

refraction

reflection

sound radiation


Solution

The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.


4

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


5

__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.

64% Answer Correctly

scurvy

diabetes

anemia

shingles


Solution

Scurvy is a difficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.
