1

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

solid

liquid

gel

gas


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


2

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromosomes

nuclei

cells

chromatids


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


3

Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?

65% Answer Correctly

scavengers and decomposers

herbivores and autotrophs

producers and tertiary consumers

primary consumers and omnivores


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


4

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

75% Answer Correctly

refraction

conduction

reflection

convection


Solution

Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.


5

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

32

16

-32

0


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
