1

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.)

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

59% Answer Correctly

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


3

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

88% Answer Correctly

circulatory

reproductive

digestive

nervous


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.


4

Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

atomic weight

atomic mass

atomic number

number of electron shells


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

Water has a refractive index of 1.33. Which of the following is true?

64% Answer Correctly

light is 1.33 times dimmer in a vacuum than it is in water

light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water

light is 1.33 times brighter in a vacuum than it is in water

light travels 1.33 times slower in a vacuum than it does in water


Solution

The speed of light varies based on the material that the waves are passing through. The refractive index of a material indicates how easily light travels through it compared to how easily light travels through a vacuum. For example, the refractive index of water is 1.33, meaning that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water.
