86% Answer Correctly

arthropod

spiny

vertebrate

sentient


Solution

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


2

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


3

Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?

48% Answer Correctly

a magnitude and a polarity

a magnitude and a direction

a magnitude only

a direction only


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

proton

atom

electron

neutron


Solution

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.


5

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

kinetic energy

work

a force

power


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
