1

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

64% Answer Correctly

fat

starches

protein

sugars


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.


2

DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

gametes

helix

genes

nucleotides


Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.


3

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.


4

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


5

The number system most used in science is the:

94% Answer Correctly

English system

British system

American system

metric system


Solution

The metric system is a number system that designates one base unit for each type of measurement.  For example, the base unit for length is the meter and the base unit for mass is the gram.
