1

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

cumulus

cirrus

stratus

cumulonimbus


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


2

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

small intestine

large intestine

pancreas

stomach


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


3

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

oxygenates

creates

deoxygenates

filters


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


4

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


5

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

mass

acceleration

velocity

momentum


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)
