1

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

72% Answer Correctly

secondary consumers

producers

decomposers

primary consumers


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

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

86% Answer Correctly

sentient

arthropod

spiny

vertebrate


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


3

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

aorta

ventricles

valves

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


4

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

aerobically

in plant cells

in the presence of oxygen

anaerobically


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


5

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
