1

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

86% Answer Correctly

vertebrate

arthropod

sentient

spiny


Solution

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


2

The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

troposphere

mesosphere

thermosphere


Solution

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.


3

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

62% Answer Correctly

diaphragms

bronchioles

blood cells

capillaries


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.


4

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

66% Answer Correctly

cerebrum

brainstem

cerebellum

medulla


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).


5

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

combinational quantities

scalar quantities

vector quantities

composite quantities


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:  \(\vec{v}\)
