55% Answer Correctly

cytoplasm

cell wall

nucleus

cell membrane


Solution

80% Answer Correctly

neutron

electron

proton

atom


Solution

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


3

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

aerobic respiration

photosynthesis

anaerobic respiration

all of these


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.


4

Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the shortest time period? 

57% Answer Correctly

epoch

age

eon

period


Solution

The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.


5

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = w t\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).
