Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

domain

genus

family

2

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

respiration

nervous

digestion

circulation


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


3

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

47% Answer Correctly

asteroids contain frozen water

comets have an atmosphere

comets orbit the Sun

asteroids have a coma


Solution

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.


4

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

horsepower

amps

watts

joules or newton-meters


Solution

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


5

Large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top describe which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

cirrus clouds

fog

cumulus clouds

stratus clouds


Solution
