1

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% 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.


2

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

velocity

momentum

mass

acceleration


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:  \(\vec{v}\)


3

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

neutron

atom

electron

proton


Solution

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


4

The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?

77% Answer Correctly

day and night cycle

tides

seasons

the northern lights


Solution

Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.


5

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

63% Answer Correctly

cirrus

cumulus
