1

Examples of primary consumers include:

54% Answer Correctly

all of these

rats

fish

cows


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


2

Neurons are part of the __________ nervous system.

42% Answer Correctly

peripheral

somatic

autonomic

central


Solution

The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.


3

Absolute zero is which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

the freezing point of hydrogen

the freezing point of oxygen

the coldest temperature possible in the universe

0°C


Solution

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.


4

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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

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

63% Answer Correctly

plants

fungi

bacteria

animals


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)
