1

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

domain

genus

family

species


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.


2

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

simple nutrients

carrion

producers

complex carbohydrates


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


3

The most diverse kindgom of life is which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

protists

animals

fungi

plants


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


4

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

69% Answer Correctly

vector quantities

combinational quantities

composite quantities

scalar 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:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

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

65% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebrum

cerebellum

brainstem


Solution

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