81% Answer Correctly

vertebrate

endoskeleton

bone

2

The __________ nervous system controls voluntary actions.

52% Answer Correctly

central

somatic

autonomic

peripheral


Solution

Part of the peripheral nervous system, the somatic nervous system is made up of nerve fibers that send sensory information to the central nervous system and control voluntary actions.


3

Which of the following is sedimentary rock?

74% Answer Correctly

obsidian

basalt

slate

sandstone


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


4

Which of the following is true about species groups?

46% Answer Correctly

a community is made up of a group of populations

an ecosystem is a biological population

a population is made up of a group of communities

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres


Solution

population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.


5

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

64% Answer Correctly

third

first

second

fourth


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.
