1

Examples of tertiary consumers include:

73% Answer Correctly

cows

chickens

fish

sharks


Solution

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.


2

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

water

mitochondria

oxygen

sugar


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.


3

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

58

10

-10

122


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


4

Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?

64% Answer Correctly

ions

products

reactants

isotopes


Solution

The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.


5

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

watts

joules or newton-meters

horsepower

amps


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
