1

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

endoskeleton

bone

exoskeleton

vertebrate


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.


2

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

refractive index

angle of incidence

focal point

90°


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


3

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

more complex

less complex

none of these

similarly complex


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.


4

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

-40

\({40 \over 9}\)

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-8


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


5

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
