1

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

75% Answer Correctly

refraction

reflection

convection

conduction


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.


2

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

32

-32

0

16


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


3

Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?

52% Answer Correctly

produce blood cells

store minerals

store vitamins

protect bodily organs


Solution

Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.


4

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

dominant alleles

both dominant and recessive alleles

phenotypes

recessive alleles


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.


5

Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?

89% Answer Correctly

fats

protein

carbohydrates

fiber


Solution

Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.
