1

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


2

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

combinational quantities

scalar quantities

composite quantities

vector quantities


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

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

nuclei

chromatids

cells

chromosomes


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


4

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

mitochondria

sugar

water

oxygen


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.


5

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

kinetic energy

work

power

a force


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
