1

Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?

65% Answer Correctly

producers and tertiary consumers

herbivores and autotrophs

scavengers and decomposers

primary consumers and omnivores


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.

The two heart chambers that pump blood called:

59% Answer Correctly

ventricles

valves

atria

aorta


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.


3

Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?

74% Answer Correctly

element

molecule

neutron

atom


Solution

An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.


4

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

vector quantities

composite quantities

scalar quantities

combinational quantities


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:  \(\vec{v}\)

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromosomes

cells

nuclei

chromatids


Solution

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