1

Which of blood component carries oxygen?

83% Answer Correctly

plasma

white blood cells

red blood cells

platelets


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


2

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


3

Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?

42% Answer Correctly

base

acid

ion

hydrogen


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


4

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

animalia

bacteria

eukaryota

archaea


Solution

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


5

A __________ is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. 

72% Answer Correctly

isotope

molecule

neutron

ion


Solution

A molecule is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. The molecules of elements consist of two or more similar atoms, the molecules of compounds consist of two or more different atoms.
