1

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


2

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

78% Answer Correctly

stabilize, raise

raise, decrease

decrease, stabilize

decrease, raise


Solution

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


3

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

group

family

period

atomic number


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


4

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

62% Answer Correctly

diaphragms

blood cells

capillaries

bronchioles


Solution

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


5

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

aerobic respiration

all of these

photosynthesis

anaerobic respiration


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
