1

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

focal point

angle of incidence

90°

refractive index


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.


2

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

transport nutrients

add carbon dioxide

transport oxygen

deoxygenate blood


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


3

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

more complex

none of these

less complex

similarly complex


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.


4

In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

primary or tertiary consumers

primary or secondary consumers

secondary or tertiary consumers

secondary consumers or scavengers


Solution

Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.


5

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

negative, positive

positive, antigen

antigen, negative

positive, negative


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
