Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

62% Answer Correctly

opposite poles attract each other

opposite poles repel each other

same poles repel each other

all of these are untrue


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromatids

nuclei

chromosomes

cells


Solution

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


3

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

right atrium

aorta

pulmonary vein

left ventricle


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

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

81% Answer Correctly

plasma

liquid

solid

gas


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.


5

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

85% Answer Correctly

convection

conduction

electricity

radiation


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.
