1

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

65% Answer Correctly

brainstem

cerebrum

medulla

cerebellum


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).


2

The fossil record is a product of which period of Earth's history?

57% Answer Correctly

Cretaceous

Cambrian

Jurassic

Cenozoic


Solution

The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.


3

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

53% Answer Correctly

nasal cavity

epiglottis

pharynx

trachea


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.


4

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

57% Answer Correctly

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


5

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

86% Answer Correctly

liquid

gel

solid

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.
