1

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

59% Answer Correctly

animalia

bacteria

eukaryota

archaea


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


2

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

products

ions

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.


3

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


4

Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:

83% Answer Correctly

protein

fiber

saturated fat

unsaturated fat


Solution

Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.


5

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

ventricles

valves

atria

aorta


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
