1

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

61% Answer Correctly

minerals

rock

frozen methane, ammonia, and water

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water


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.


2

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

more complex

less complex

none of these

similarly complex


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.


3

Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?

68% Answer Correctly

gas

none of these

liquid

solid


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


4

Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

veins

heart

capillaries

arteries


Solution

Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.


5

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

watts

horsepower

joules or newton-meters

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:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
