1

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

temperate front

warm front

stationary front

cold front 


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


2

Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

a direction and a polarity

a direction only

a magnitude only

a magnitude and a direction


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


3

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

photosynthesis

all of these

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


4

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-36

-4

36

78


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


5

Regulation of heart rhythm occurs in:

61% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebellum

nerves

cerebrum


Solution

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.
