72% Answer Correctly

work

kinetic energy

power

a force


Solution

3

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

domains

classes

species

kingdoms


Solution

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


4

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

74% Answer Correctly

refraction

reflection

conduction

convection


Solution

Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.


5

During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?

53% Answer Correctly

large intestine

esophagus

small intestine

stomach


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
