1

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

producers

primary consumers

secondary consumers

decomposers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis


2

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

60% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)

none of these

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)


Solution

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity:  \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\).  Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.


3

Saturated fats can __________ LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can __________ it.

78% Answer Correctly

raise, decrease

decrease, stabilize

decrease, raise

stabilize, raise


Solution

Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.


4

60% Answer Correctly

minerals

habitats

animals

plants


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).


5

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

57% Answer Correctly

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.
