1

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

only a cell wall

only a cell membrane

a cell membrane and a cell wall

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


2

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = w t\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


3

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. 

63% Answer Correctly

all-altitude

low-altitude

high-altitude

mid-altitude


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


4

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

liquid

solid

gel

gas


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


5

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

69% Answer Correctly

second

first

third

fourth


Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
