1

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

81% Answer Correctly

exoskeleton

vertebrate

bone

endoskeleton


Solution

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


2

The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

66% Answer Correctly

second law of motion

first law of motion

third law of motion

universal gravitation


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.


3

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

64% Answer Correctly

protein

fat

sugars

starches


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.


4

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

kinetic

inherent

gravitational

potential


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


5

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

atomic number

period

family

group


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
