1

Menstruation occurs when:

76% Answer Correctly

the ovum becomes fertilized

the zygote is formed

the fetus is formed 

the ovum fails to become fertilized


Solution

If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).


2

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

81% Answer Correctly

bone

vertebrate

exoskeleton

endoskeleton


Solution

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


3

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

58% Answer Correctly

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


4

Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

ions

products

reactants

isotopes


Solution

The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.


5

An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?

86% Answer Correctly

similar moisture

similar temperature

similar density

all of these


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
