1

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

atom

proton

neutron

electron


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.


2

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

anaerobic respiration

all of these

aerobic respiration

photosynthesis


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.


3

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

add carbon dioxide

transport oxygen

transport nutrients

deoxygenate blood


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


4

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

vector quantities

composite quantities

combinational quantities

scalar quantities


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:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

primary or tertiary consumers

secondary or tertiary consumers

primary or secondary consumers

secondary consumers or scavengers


Solution

Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.
