1

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

vertebrate

endoskeleton

exoskeleton

bone


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.


2

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

refractive index

focal point

angle of incidence

90°


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


3

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

61% Answer Correctly

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water

minerals

frozen methane, ammonia, and water

rock


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.


4

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:

68% Answer Correctly

neutral

acidic

alkaline

water


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


5

Which of the following substances gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water?

55% Answer Correctly
