1

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

joules or newton-meters

watts

horsepower

amps


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


2

Blood is created in:

68% Answer Correctly

the liver

the heart

red blood cells

bone marrow


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


3

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 4 is:

71% Answer Correctly

alkaline

neutral

acidic

basic


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


4

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

59% Answer Correctly

animalia

archaea

eukaryota

bacteria


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


5

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

dominant alleles

recessive alleles

both dominant and recessive alleles

phenotypes


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.
