1

Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?

43% Answer Correctly

0K

absolute zero

32°F

-273°C

Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.


2

The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

rock

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water

frozen methane, ammonia, and water

minerals


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.


3

DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

nucleotides

genes

gametes

helix


Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.


4

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration

photosynthesis

all of these


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


5

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

universal donor status

blood type

postive or negative

universal recipient 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.
